Every patient admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is at risk of developing "Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness" (ICUAW). ICUAW is associated with increased rate of mortality, prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital stay, rehabilitation time, and reduced quality of life. Currently, there is no effective treatment for ICUAW. Health Discovery Labs is conducting a research study to evaluate the safety of using an innovative experimental medical device in ICU settings that could mitigate ICUAW. This study is meant to demonstrate whether this new device interferes with standard ICU monitors.

Interference with cardiac monitoring devices: detection of ECG noise of more than 0.1mV in amplitude or ECG changes suggestive of cardiac dysrhythmias
Timeframe: During the 25 minutes that the EMS is applied to each test subject.
