Nerve Mapping

Nerve mapping is a technique whereby superficial peripheral nerves can be traced and located percutaneously. The technique enables the anesthesiologist to determine the site of the needle insertion prior to puncturing the skin. Read more…

Charge Transfer Waveform

A square waveform indicates to the user that the device accommodates sufficiently for the impedance of the closed circuit path. This includes the connection between the ECG pad and the patient, as well as the probe or needle and patient. If the shape of the waveform does not resemble a perfect square wave, it means that the impedance of the circuit is higher than what the device can accommodate for, resulting in less current (charge) being delivered than what the current (charge) setting indicates.

Non-linear adjustment

The idea is to offer the anesthesiologist preset Current and Pulse Width settings, which will provide a more predictable, linear progression of the distance the needle moves from setting to setting. Read more…
