The Neuropathy Assessment Kit NA03

The Neuropathy Assessment Kit NA03 The Neuropathy Assessment Kit NA03 is used to assess for peripheral neuropathy, specifically loss of protective sensation in the feet, in patients with diabetes. It is a convenient and easy-to-use tool for clinicians to detect, stage, and monitor peripheral neuropathies at the point-of-care. The kit includes devices like the VIBRATIP for vibration perception testing, monofilaments for assessing loss of touch sensation and Tiptherm for thermal perception testing. • VIBRATIP: This device provides a consistent vibration to test a patient's perception of vibration, a common symptom of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). • Monofilaments: These are used to test for loss of protective sensation in the feet, which can lead to ulcers and other complications. • Tiptherm: This device is used to test the loss of thermal(cold) sensation in the feet. • Point-of-care testing: The kit is designed to be used by clinicians during routine checkups, allowing for quick and efficient assessment of neuropathy in diabetic patients. • Detection and Staging: The kit helps in detecting the presence and severity (staging) of peripheral neuropathy, which is crucial for timely intervention and management. • Monitoring: The kit can be used to track the progression or improvement of neuropathy over time with treatment or lifestyle changes.
