Combined Nerve Mapping and Nerve Location - Auto sensing technology provides a solution for simultaneous nerve mapping and nerve location. The Stimpod monitors whether the mapping probe or needle touches the patient and adjusts the current range accordingly, ensuring quick and precise nerve location.
· This technology provides a cost effect alternative to ultrasound techniques for determining anatomical deviations prior to needle insertion. The technique reduces the time of the procedure and provides favourable patient comfort and safety.
· Deeper peripheral nerves require higher current to be recruited by transcutaneous stimulation. The Stimpod sensing technology and Nerve Mapping Probe designs facilitate larger currents, thus increasing the percentage of peripheral nerves that can be targeted.
· The displayed waveform serves as a quick reference for excessive impedance (>20kOhm) in the circuit. The waveform will indicate if the pulse is delivered according to the settings. If the waveform is not square this will immediately indicate excessive impedance in the circuit and all elements in the circuit i.e. ecg electrodes and/or skin condition, needs to be re-assessed before nerve location can be successfully completed.
· The Proximity Inicator provides a safety mechanism which prevents the user from getting confused with the current settings at different pulse widths. Prior to performing your peripheral nerve block, this unique indicator will provide indication of nerve proximity.
· When adjusting the adjustment wheel the Stimpod will only scroll through the pre-programmed current and pulse width settings. (The default settings are calculated to facilitate the non-linear nature of the current intensity versus the distance from the nerve.)
