Checks before start-up The Stimuplex ® HNS 1 1 is a class lla medical device according to Council Directive 93 / 42 / EEC. An item of medical equipment may only be put into operation after the suppli.
In the operating mode, the LCD display shows the preselected stimulation current set on the controller between 0.00 and approx. 1.00 mA (in the 1 mA range) or from 0.
Technical description 6. Refer to the Safety information section before using the Stimu- plex ® HNS 1 1 on a patient. Any instrument behaving abnormally must not be put into operation. Contact customer service. Electromedical equipment may only be repaired by the manu- facturer or by an organization expressly authorized by the manu- facturer .
Operating the nerve stimulator Switching on / switching off Turn the control knob clockwise out of the O position to switch on the Stimuplex ® HNS 1 1. A brief click signals that this has taken place. At this instant, the device automatically starts a self-test.
Selecting the current range The maximum current available can be selected by pressing the ”mA (max)” button. The Stimuplex ® HNS 1 1 nerve stimulator offers a choice between a range up to 5 mA max. or up to 1 mA max. Values between 0.00 mA and 1.
The LED displays All LEDs directly assigned to the buttons are used to monitor the selected operating mode. Since LEDs require relatively high power , the Stimuplex ® HNS 1 1 switches them off after 8 seconds (see p.
Pulse LED display The small orange LED above the LCD display flashes according to the pulse frequency set (1 Hz: once per second; 2 Hz: twice per second) when current is flowing through the electrodes.
The tone Each generated pulse produces a tick . When a stimulation current flows to the electrodes (greater than 2% of the maximum stimula- tion adjustable), the tick becomes louder .
Special technical features The configuration of the electrode connection provides protection against a wrong polarity connection of the electrode cable.
Battery The battery must be regularly checked for correct charge by press- ing the ”BAT” button. While the button is pressed, the existing battery voltage appears on the LCD display . The battery should be replaced under 7 volts – as soon as the BA T symbol appears.
Cleaning and disinfecting the Stimuplex ® HNS 1 1 Use only soft, damp cloths to clean and disinfect the Stimuplex ® HNS 1 1 and the electrode cable. Water , soap or white spirits are especially suitable for this. Ensure that no moisture penetrates the Stimuplex ® HNS 1 1.
For usage of HNS 1 1 please refer to the individual local law restricts (eg. maintaining a logbook, etc.). In case of conducting safety checks on the device, please refer to the enclosed inspection sheet.
Caution Electromagnetic fields may interfere with the function of the nerve stimulator . Do not use the stimulator in the proximity of equip- ment which produces strong electromagnetic fields such as HF high frequency surgical equipment, micro wave equipment or cord- less phones.
Safety information The nerve stimulator should not be used on patients with implanted electrical devices (e. g. cardiac pacemakers) without prior consultation with an appropriate medical specialist. Possible interference with the implanted devices by the stimulation current could represent a danger to the patient.
Instruments and accessories The Stimuplex ® HNS 1 1 nerve stimulator should only be operated with the accessories and instruments mentioned on page 13, 14, 18 and 19 of this user manual. Check the accessories and instruments for serviceable condition before every occasion of use and comply with the care and disin- fection instructions supplied (p.

If the two values coincide, the total resistance is acceptable (impedance test) and the electric circuit is satisfactory . If the actual value is less than the set value, this indicates that the electrical resistance in the external circuit is too high.
