by means of the connection as provided for such. The adhesive electrode is affixed to the surface of the
patient's skin at an appropriate location (good contact) in order to ensure current conduction. The red
electrode clamp (positive pole, anode) is fastened to the adhesive electrode. In stimulation by means of
cannula, the current is conducted between the cannula tip (negative pole, cathode) and the red elec-
trode clamp (positive pole, anode). Pressing the

If the stimulation by cannula is activated, the symbol

tion port of the patient cable provided for such purpose. The adhesive electrode is affixed to the surface
of the patient's skin at an appropriate location (good contact) in order to ensure current conduction.
The red electrode clamp (positive pole, anode) is fastened to the adhesive electrode. In stimulation by
means of the handle, the current is conducted between the percutaneous electrode (negative pole,
cathode) and the red electrode clamp (positive pole, anode). Pressing the
back and forth between the PEG output and the catheter output.
If the stimulation by PEG-handle is activated, then the letter string »PEG« will appear. The initial inten-
sity of the stimulation current, the stimulation frequency and the impulse bandwidth are separately
adjustable for both of the two outputs (see SETUP-functions).
Please observe:

If no PEG cable is detected when switching to PEG operation, i.e. the PEG handle is not connected or is
defective, this is indicated by "no" in the display and an error tone is produced to show discontinuation
. of operation; the
. If the handle becomes disconnected in PEG mode, the empty circle symbol appears and the excessively
high impedance notice appears on the display screen. Now:
a) the PEG-handle may be connected again. This will cause the device to return to the original mode
or
b) the device may be switched to stimulation by cannula by pressing the

4.7 Amplitude selection (setting of the nominal stimulation current)

The intensity of the stimulation current may be adjusted with the aid of the notched turning-knob
located in the centre of the device. Turning the knob one increment to the right-hand side (i.e. clock-
wise) will increase the intensity of the stimulation current by one incremental step. Turning the knob
to the left-hand side (i.e. counter-clockwise) will reduce the intensity of the stimulation current by one
incremental step. The presently selected intensity of the stimulation current is indicated on the LCD.
This specified value will only correspond with the actually emitted stimulation current, if the electrical
stimulation circuit is properly closed over the patient. In this case, the selected stimulation current (set
point), which is shown on the display, corresponds exactly to the stimulation current actually flowing
ng
through the electrical circuit of the patient. This correct function is indicated by the »5« symbol.
As soon as the selected stimulation current differs from the actually flowing stimulation current, the
»?« symbol will appear on the display. Please note, that in this case the current actually flowing
through the patient might be lower than the desired stimulation current which you have previously
selected. An increase of the selected stimulation current might therefore not effect the stimulation
current actually flowing through the patient. If this happens, it is absolutely necessary to reduce the
nominal stimulation current, and to discover the cause of the inadequate or missing patient connec-
of
tions. Do not increase the nominal stimulation current under any circumstances before the reason for
the faulty current flowing through the patient has been identified clearly and has been remedied.
