Indicators
Insert Cable:
This is the first prompt which the user will encounter as the unit is switched on, and signals that the unit is waiting for the cable to be inserted.
Actual current delivered
The current displayed in this screen is the actual Average Current delivered to the patient. If there is a discrepancy of more than 10% between this
measured current and the current setting a warning sign “ ” will appear. If the actual current delivered is not the same as the current setting it
means that the impedance of the circuit between the device and patient is too high (higher than 13 kOhm). This is most likely caused by a poor
grounding electrode/skin connection.
Pause:
This warning informs the user that the PAUSE button was pressed.
The STIMPOD NMS460 will pause all its activities and wait for the PAUSE button to be pressed again.
Cable not recognised:
This warning informs the user that the inserted cable is not compatible with the STIMPOD NMS460.
Replace Batteries:
This warning informs the user that the batteries are depleted beyond an acceptable level. Continuing to operate the device thus will make it
unreliable. To prevent this the STIMPOD NMS460 flashes this warning for 4 seconds before switching off.
Open Circuit Detected:
This warning informs the user that the two electrodes (i.e. Ecg electrode and treatment probe) do not form the closed circuit. This warning will be
accompanied by a red flashing LED, every time the unit attempts to stimulate.
Error:
The STIMPOD NMS460 has detected a component failure. Please send the device back to the manufacturer for repair!
