The NcIQ™ Noncontact Sensor
The small, lightweight, easy-to-use NcIQ™ provides real time hemodynamic status monitoring and relative casualty
location communications to the First Responder.
The NcIQ™ uses patented technology to measure the reflected electrical signal length from anatomical structures in
motion. The signal generated from the NcIQ™ is integrated into NMT’s patented IQ algorithm (the predicate technology)
and the following hemodynamic parameters are measured and trends:
- Cardiac Output
- Heart Rate
- Respirations
- Life Score
A computer and encrypted radio are integrated into the NcIQ™ in order to store data to memory, monitor measurement trends and
communicate pertinent data.
