Viking™ On Nicolet™ EDXAdvancing electrodiagnostics and monitoring with the next generation system

Nicolet™

Introducing the New Viking On Nicolet EDX SystemThe Viking On Nicolet EDX system from Nicolet combines state of the art technology with over 60 years of proven clinical knowledge and innovation to set new standards for EMG, EP and IOM testing.

Because it’s based on the successful Viking software, users can expect to benefit from a familiar clinical workflow and user interface together with full patient and protocol compatibility with existing Viking products.

The rich Viking feature set and clinical automation together with the exceptional signal quality, artifact rejection, and environmental noise suppression of the Nicolet EDX system reduced patient discomfort as well as examination time.

The Viking On Nicolet EDX delivers an electrodiagnostic platform powerful enough to satisfy the demanding needs of today and flexible enough to meet the anticipated needs of tomorrow.

The latest addition to the long and successful line of Viking™ products excels in clinical functionality, signal quality, and flexibility

The combined strength of Viking™ software and Nicolet™ hardware has fused to create the next generation electrodiagnostic system from an EMG leader

The Viking On Nicolet EDX has been developed in close cooperation with physicians, technicians, and researchers across the world resulting in a system flexible and powerful enough to meet the different needs without compromising ease of use or quality.
