How DPNCheck Works

Performing a test with the DPNCheck is straightforward and takes only about a minute. The testing process is easy to learn and it is typically performed by medical staff with minimal training required.

What happens during the test: The device stimulates the sural nerve at the ankle with a small electrical pulse and records the nerve's response on the calf. This measures how fast and strong the nerve signal travels, providing objective data about nerve function.

Simple DPNCheck Procedure

Step 1: A healthcare professional cleaning the patient's ankle area with an alcohol wipe before the DPNCheck test.

Step 1: Clean the skin

Step 2: Placing the DPNCheck biosensor onto the handheld device.

Step 2: Place biosensor

Step 3: Applying conductive gel to the DPNCheck probes.

Step 3: Apply gel

Step 4: Selecting the limb to be tested (left or right) on the DPNCheck device's screen.

Step 4: Select a limb

Step 5: Positioning the DPNCheck device on the patient's ankle to start the nerve conduction test.

Step 5: Position & Start Test

Step 6: The DPNCheck device displaying the nerve conduction test results, including amplitude and conduction velocity.

Step 6: Get results
