For those who need a powerful, easy to use system at an affordable price. This system is available in stand-alone form or as an addition to LKC’s visual diagnostic systems. Multifocal ERG testing measures the function of areas of the retina, while multifocal VEP testing measures the function of areas of the optic nerve and visual cortex. Testing with long binary m-sequences assures accuracy and compatibility with other manufacturers results. LKC’s design has a simple user interface with powerful features.

• Multifocal ERG and Multifocal VEP capability
• Uses long binary m-sequences
• Easily added to any modern LKC visual electrodiagnostic test system
  (EPIC or UTAS)
• Meets ISCEV guidelines for multifocal ERG
• Core stimulus presentation and analysis software were developed at a major university research laboratory
• Fully automated control of amplifier, filters, and stimulus parameters
• Data Storage: Relational database
• Data Display:
  • Trace array of waveforms
  • 3-D amplitude map
  • Quantitative response data
  • Regional averaged waveform display
  • Raw waveform
• Analyzed Data Export: Both graphics and text data can be exported to other Windows programs (Copy / Paste)
• mfERG Stimulation Pattern Types: 19, 61, 103 Hexagons for human (hexagons scaled with eccentricity) or animal (equal-size hexagons).

Hardware Configuration

• Works with UTAS-E 3000, UTAS-E 4000, new UTAS, and EPIC-4000 systems. (Computer upgrade may be necessary for older UTAS-E 3000 and EPIC-4000 systems.)



• Uses standard EPIC or UTAS pattern monitor. Optional high-brightness (to 500 cd/m2) monitor available.



• Chin rest assembly to assure constant patient-toscreen distance.



• Patient monitoring camera with image visible on operator screen.
