Personal Kinetigraph (PKG) System Gen 2 Plus

The Personal Kinetograph (PKG) System Gen 2 Plus is specifically designed to measure and record tremors, providing objective kinematic data for neurological assessment. It is particularly useful in evaluating movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor. By capturing continuous motion data, it aids clinicians in diagnosing these conditions and supports treatment planning by offering detailed insights into tremor characteristics.

The PKG System Gen 2 Plus is supplied as a reusable system. This means it is designed for repeated use in clinical and research settings, allowing for long-term monitoring and data collection across multiple patients or assessments. The reusable nature also supports cost efficiency and sustainability in healthcare environments.

The system includes multiple transducer attachments (FEI numbers: 3011196543, 3032027298, 3012933969, 3009134706) that can be placed on different body parts. This flexibility allows clinicians to assess tremors in various locations, such as hands, arms, or other affected areas, providing a comprehensive evaluation of movement disorders. The adaptability ensures accurate data collection tailored to the patient’s specific symptoms.

The PKG System Gen 2 Plus has undergone regulatory review through the FDA’s 510(k) clearance process and complies with the EU’s Medical Device Regulation (MDR). These authorizations confirm that the device meets established safety and performance standards for Class II devices under the product code GYD (Transducer, Tremor). Clinicians and researchers can rely on its compliance for clinical and research use in neurology, ensuring trust in its diagnostic accuracy and reliability.

Unlike some tremor assessment tools that rely on subjective patient reports or limited sampling, the PKG System Gen 2 Plus captures continuous kinematic data, providing real-time, objective measurements of tremor characteristics. This approach enhances diagnostic precision by offering detailed insights into tremor frequency, amplitude, and patterns, which are critical for accurate assessment and personalized treatment planning in movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor.
