By GlobalDataSmart sensors in the system employ a proprietary technology, using non-invasive accelerometer-based sensors to measure MMG activity, or the mechanical twitch associated with muscle contraction.
Sentio market development vice-president Sean Parker said: "Aurora’s MIS, tech-company culture fits extremely well with Sentio.
"We share a common ethos that will help drive both organizations to success as we co-market our technologies."
The system is cleared by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to assist in locating and mapping motor nerves through the use of mechanomyographic signals and electrical stimulus of nerves.
The Sentio MMG system also has a CE Mark for use in the European Union (EU) and other markets.
