Prototype laboratory stimulators have been submitted for evaluation
Purpose:
• The laboratory stimulator (LS) is intended for test and intraoperative electrical stimulation using multi-contact electrodes.
Distinctive features:
• 32 stimulation channels
• Any configuration of the stimulator's output contacts
• generation of positive and negative pulses of various waveforms.
• Stimulation with current and voltage pulses
• Charge-balanced stimulation.
• Output pulse voltage 0 - 10.5 V.
• Output pulse current 0 - 10.5 mA
• Pulse frequency 2.0 - 980 Hz
• Pulse duration 50 - 2500 µs.
• Load impedance monitoring
• Powered by a built-in battery.
• Stimulating pulse amplitude control.
• Built-in myographic amplifier
• LCD display showing the stimulator's current state
• Software installed on an external PC, tablet or smartphone.
• Communication with an external device over a wireless Bluetooth link
• Storage of stimulation parameters and patient details in the stimulator's memory.
• The laboratory stimulator's housing and cables are made of materials that withstand repeated disinfection.
