Stimulator, electrical, peripheral nerve, block monitoring

Intended purpose

The WiTOF is a neuromuscular transmission station (nerve stimulator) that helps to pilot the neuromuscular blockade of a patient in the operating room, recovery room or intensive care unit. The effect of NMBAs (Neuromuscular Blocking Agents) is monitored by measuring the acceleration (acceleromyography) of the muscular movements or by visually observing muscular contractions following electrical stimulation. The WiTOF has a 3-D acceleration sensor (accelerometer) which detects and quantifies the patient’s muscular movements (contraction of the adductor muscle of the thumb or the big toe). Its sensor is directly integrated into the patient’s sensor, which allows the sensor to assume a repeatable and optimal position.
