Alpine Biomed was established in Orange County, California in 1994 as the industry’s premier esophageal pH catheter manufacturer.  Over the years Alpine grew to become a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of gastroenterology and neurodiagnostic equipment and accessories, incorporating the Dantec Keypoint EMG line in 2007. Alpine Biomed and its Neurophysiology product line were acquired by Natus Medical in September 2009; the systems are used by the leading hospitals and physicians globally to assist in diagnosis of neurological disorders such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other neuropathies.

Neurophysiology
From its roots in the early 1980’s in Copenhagen, Denmark, Dantec was established out of the Danish electronics company DISA Electronik A/S, manufacturing urodynamic and neurological products including electromyography systems. In the mid 1990’s, Dantec changed ownership and corporate identity, as it became part of Medtronic, Inc., and then Alpine Biomed. Natus continues the tradition of Dantec as a superior neurological diagnostic brand – the finest amplifiers and first-rate engineering that have made Dantec EMG devices the systems of choice continue in the Keypoint systems today.
	The Dantec Keypoint® electromyography (EMG) / evoked potentials (EP) systems are recognized worldwide for their superior amplifiers, stimulators, and outstanding signal quality. The Keypoint is the instrument of choice for advanced neurodiagnostic applications such as Single Fiber EMG, Quantitative EMG, visual and auditory evoked potentials, as well as routine Nerve Conduction studies. The new Keypoint provides ergonomic improvements as well, including a 22 inch articulating monitor, a flexible arm, and a portable control panel. The Keypoint system is also available with all desired applications in a portable laptop configuration.

The Dantec CLAVIS™ hand-held EMG/STIM device was developed to provide muscle and nerve localization information to assist with botulinum toxin injections. It is perfectly matched for use with Bo-ject™ hypodermic needle electrodes.
