• Use the ms function key to set the stimulus duration to 0.30 ms – Appears in display.
• Use the Hz function key to set stimulation frequency to 1 Hz – Appears in display.
• Using the control knob, slowly increase the target stimulation current from 0.00 mA to 5.00 mA.
Throughout the entire procedure, warning display must read “Patient current lower than your setting”
and patient current = “0.00 mA”. The LED flashes red in a 1-Hz rhythm and the warning signal is
audible in a 1-Hz rhythm.
• Close the circuit using the 10 kΩ test resistor supplied as an accessory. All warnings (display, LED,
sound) must disappear. The display reads 10 kΩ ± - tolerance. If the warnings do not disappear,
briefly connect the electrode cable to the contacts at the ends of the cable in order to rule out
that test resistor is defective.
• Using the digital control knob, slowly reduce the target stimulation current from 5.00 mA to 0.00
mA. Throughout the entire procedure, the warning display must not read “Patient current lower
than your setting”, and the LED must be flashing green in a 1-Hz rhythm (if applicable yellow for
target stimulation current < threshold current if option is activated).
In the event that the nerve stimulator does not behave as described, its use must be discontinued.
The nerve stimulator and the electrode cable must be technically inspected.
Switch off the nerve stimulator so that any configured settings (from the medical team) are avail-
able when the device is switched back on.
