  • Patent number: 11052257
    Abstract: A two-part NMS-test bench is provided with which instruments, generator voltages, and surgery modes can be evaluated with regard to neuromuscular stimulations. By separating the NMS-test bench in a first part for application of the instrument and in the second part for evaluation of the physiological effect on nerves, a measurement free of artifacts is possible. The spatial and timely separation of the RF-application from the recording of the compound action potentials makes RF-disturbances ineffective. The electrical signals gained in the instrument test chamber can be pre-processed. The recorded electrical signals emitted from the instrument can be evaluated at the nerve model an arbitrary number of times. The variance involved with the recording of compound action potentials during direct use of the instrument can thus be minimized. The separated test of the signals at the nerve model avoids thermal damage of a prepared nerve and falsification of measurement results.

  • Publication number: 20210015547
    Abstract: A surgical device having an apparatus with a generator and an instrument supplied by a generator. A sensor is part of the device that is attached to the patient, for example to an extremity thereof, during surgery to detect the movement of the patient. The sensor is connected with a control device that modifies the operation of generator and particularly switches the generator off, if the sensor detects a movement of the patient exceeding a threshold. Injuries of patient that could occur by involuntary twitches during surgery process are thus avoided.
