Additional information related to stimulation
Source Voltage
The source voltage for the current stimulators is approx. 400 V. If the load impedance
exceeds 400 V/I , where I denotes the selected stimulating current, the stimulators
will be unable to provide the selected currents. Furthermore, the stimulators will be unable to
provide more than approx. 0.5 W. This may limit the output current for fast stimulations.
Stimulation Electrodes
Recommended Stimulation Electrodes
The recommended stimulation electrodes to be used in ordinary investigations are:
Electrode
Number
Type
9013S030 Digital Ring Electrode
9013L069 Velcro Digital Ring Electrode
9013L035 Miniature Hand-held Stimulation Electrode
9013L036 Hand-held Stimulation Electrode
9031E014 Passive Stimulation Handgrip
9031E015 Active Stimulation Handgrip
9031E017 Advanced Stimulation Handgrip
When using the surface (cutaneous) electrodes, the following applies:
Before applying the 9013L035, 9013L036 felt tips, or any of the 9013S070-series of ground
electrodes to a patient, they should be soaked in saline to obtain good electrical contact with the
skin. Each pair of felt tips is for use with one patient only.
Similarly, when using the electrode pins of the 9031E014/9031E015/9031E017, or other
electrodes with metal contact provided without a conductive gel, the skin impedance can be
reduced using electrode paste, or an equivalent.
When using the reusable surface electrodes, make sure to reprocess them in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions and in accordance with a validated infection control
procedure.
