Electrical Stimulator AS100

Constantcurrent-source with arbitrary pulses for electrophysiology

 

AS100 is a flexible and certified current source for electrical stimulation of arbitrary waveforms.
It directly outputs a current that is proportional to the applied input voltage and can therefore be used for many purposes such as nerve stimulation, evoked potentials, functional electrical stimulation (FES), biofeedback etc.
Enhanced safety features include manual limitation of current and energy restrictions. AS100 is compliant with EN 60601-1 (medical device component) and provides a high level of safety.
