Stimulation by cannula or catheter
The
MultiStim SWITCH
provides two alternative options for stimulation: by way of a
cannula or through a stimulating catheter. The corresponding switch-over is actuated
simply by pressing the CATH/Cannula – function key.
If stimulation by cannula is activated, then a
cannula symbol
will appear on the
display. The maximum stimulation current intensity will be 6 mA.
If stimulation by catheter is activated, then the word „
CATH
“ will appear on the
display. In the catheter-mode, the range of stimulation current intensity will be
increased to 20 mA, and will therefore correspond with the specific requirements of
epidural stimulation.
The intensity and the frequency of the stimulation current, as well as the pulse width
can be adjusted and configured separately at any time for both outputs (cannula and
catheter).
Maximum voltage and current intensity
The device emits a stimulation voltage of at most 95 Vpp in order to still obtain a good
stimulation effect on patients with high resistance conditions. The intensity of the
stimulation current for the catheter amounts to 20 mA for safety reasons, and is therefore
also suitable for epidural stimulation.
