During the initial research of nerve, for a maximum stimulation reach, the cursor is therefore turned
right completely: 1ms and 6mA.
Then, according to the rotation of the cursor towards the left, the stimulus duration automatically
decrease from 1ms to 0,5ms then to 0,3ms and to fi nish to 0,1ms which is the value used in the
classical procedure approach. Issued intensities were calculated to avoid jolts between each stimulus
duration, so that increase or decrease of the amplitude of neuromuscular responses keeps linear and
smooth. So without tiring manipulation and in automatic way, the operator begins a target neuromus-
cular response from the maximum distance detection allowed by his neurostimulator. Then during
rotation to the left of the cursor (related to the improvement of neuromuscular stimulation) parameters
(intensity and stimulus durations) are decreased up to a stimulus duration of 0,1ms. The operator is
then in the classical positioning procedure.
6 Error messages
After switching the MultiStim SWITCH on, the device will automatically carry out a self-test. If the
device recognizes a faulty function during the self-test or during normal operation, the corresponding
error code will be indicated on the LCD. After that, the device is not operational anymore and may not
be used further. The device must by all means be returned to the manufacturer for repair. Please ask
your dealer if you need assistance, he will be glad to help you.
Please indicate the error code in the repair order. The following error codes are possible:
E1 Program memories faulty
E3 Faulty pulse voltage
E4 Faulty internal current setting
E5 Faulty pulse current (perhaps damaged cable)
E6 Battery is empty
7 The battery
The proper charge of the battery must be examined regularly. Proceed as described in section Indica-
tion of battery condition. A battery capacity of less than 20 % (1 segment visible) will cause the battery
condition indicator to start fl ashing, and the battery should be replaced. If the battery capacity drops
to a value which will impair the functionality, the device will switch itself off automatically. If the Multi-
Stim-device is not used for a longer period of time, the battery must be removed to avoid leakage.
7.1 Battery replacement
The battery compartment is located on the bottom side of the MultiStim SWITCH. Open the compart-
ment by unscrewing the screw situated on the back side of the device with a suitable tool. Replace the
battery. Be sure to check for correct polarity. Exclusively use 9 V alkali-manganese batteries (e.g., VARTA
4022, DURACELL MN 1604). With these batteries you will obtain a prolonged duration of functionality
and extremely reliable operation.
