Why should you choose Cadwell’s Sierra Summit for EMG?
We’ve revolutionized EMG. More than once.
Cadwell Industries, Inc. began its journey as a company in 1979 with the invention of the world’s first microprocessor-controlled EMG, the Cadwell 7000. Cadwell is still family owned, and is wholly focused on neurophysiology. We stay true to our mission of helping you help others, by continuing to provide excellent diagnostic and monitoring systems, market leading support and secure data management. Our customers, their patients, and our team members are our stakeholders.
In the last forty years, Cadwell has developed and supported the 7000, the 7200, the 5200, the 7400, the 5200A (which became the best-selling EMG machine ever made), the CTS5000, the Quantum 84, the MES10, the Excel, the Sierra line, the 6200A, and the Excel Plus. Cadwell responded to the need for smaller, portable units when an Alaskan physician requested an EMG that could fit beneath the seat in his small airplane.
In July, 1994, Cadwell sent a modified Quantum 84 into space on the Space Shuttle Columbia as part of the Second International Microgravity Laboratory. It was the only piece of medical equipment on the mission that worked, and scientists all over the world studied data collected on the Cadwell machine.

The Sierra line was introduced in 1993, and includes the original Sierra, the SierraLT, the Sierra II Wedge, the Sierra Wave, and now the Sierra Summit.
The Sierra Summit, released in 2013, is one of our most dynamic pieces of neurophysiology diagnostic equipment, as its capabilities and features evolve in response to new technology and accommodate new clinical practice. In 2018, Cadwell became the first, and remains the only, company to offer a fully integrated ultrasound solution for concurrent electrodiagnostic procedures.
Today, Cadwell is working in tandem with some of the world’s leading physicians and teaching hospitals and leading the charge in neurodiagnostic technology capabilities in EMG, nerve conduction, evoked potentials, ultrasound, and chemodenervation.
