Status Messages
Clear NMT References Clears stored
supramaximal current and
reference twitch.
NOTE: Use this selection
only before patient is
relaxed. If you clear NMT
references after the patient
is already relaxed, the new
references will be based on
the existing level of patient
relaxation, which could
cause misleading NMT
measurements.
Not applicable

NMT Initializing • The pod is performing
power-up self-tests.
• Supramaximal current and
reference twitch detected.
• The pod is recalibrating due
to a rapid change in twitch
amplitude.
• Wait until the self-tests are completed.
• Wait until the references are
established.
• Wait or cancel, reapply, and retry.
NMT Using internal
reference
• Reference twitch could not
be established.
• The patient might have been
relaxed before reference
was established.
• Check the acelerometer sensor.
• Continue the measurement using an
internal reference or change to TOF
mode.
