EUROMUSCULAR TRANSMISSION (NMT) MONITORING
Quick Reference Table -- NMT Monitoring Settings
Menu Item Description Available Settings
Start NMT Starts NMT
measurements.
Not applicable
Stop NMT Stops NMT measurements. Not applicable
Mode Allows you to select
measurement mode.
•Single
• TOF (default)
•PTC
Measurement Interval Allows you to select time
interval for automatic NMT
measurement cycles (in
single and TOF modes).
None, 1s, 10s, 20s (default), 1min,
5min, 15min, 30min
NOTE: in PTC mode, you cannot select
a measurement interval; in TOF mode,
1s is not available.
Pulse Width * Allows you to select
duration for stimulation
pulse.
100 µs, 200 µs (default), 300 µs
Stim Current Mode Allows you to select
stimulation current mode.
• In auto mode, the pod
establishes a
supramaximal current
during the first
measurement and uses it
for subsequent
measurements.
• In manual mode, the user
selects a stimulation
current.
• Auto (default)
•Manual
Stim Current * Allows you to select
stimulation current
(read-only field in Auto
mode)
• Auto mode: none
(displays the stimulation current value)
• Manual mode: 5mA (default) - 60 mA,
(in increments of 5 mA)
*Caution: Changing the stimulation current or pulse width invalidates the stored reference value.
The pod recalculates the reference twitch at the next measurement, based on the existing level of
patient relaxation, which could cause misleading NMT measurements.
