Impulse is an EMG (Electromyography) sensing electrode that senses tiny muscle contractions. Using its patented technology, the Impulse detects and wirelessly transmits the EMG signal to a computer using Bluetooth wireless technology. (A Bluetooth receiver is included.) Impulse's software then processes the activity as a traditional switch “click”. Pairing the Impulse with popular accessibility programs such as EZ-Keys allows users to fully control their computer with the smallest of muscle activity.

Product Features:
> Allows user to completely control their computer using any muscle
   with voluntary control when used in conjunction with augmentative
   and alternative communication (AAC) systems.
> Wireless connectivity allows your caregivers to attend to your needs
   without being hampered by wires or disturbing switch alignment.
> Wireless connectivity allows you to remain connected to the computer
   even while being transported short distances (such as to the bathroom).
> Bluetooth Class II connectivity up to 10 M (30 feet)!
> No wires means the Impulse looks better cosmetically than many other
   similar switches available today.
> Wireless Active Electrode design gives Impulse ultra clean EMG signals
   and greatly reduces interference.
> Incredibly fast response time (<30 ms).
> Integrated with major Speech Generation System Providers.
