TOF-Watch SX is the most advanced device in the TOF-Watch range of neuromuscular transmission monitors. The instrument incorporates all features required for routine daily use. Fully compliant with Good Clinical Practice guidelines, it is equally suited for use in clinical studies.

Flexible use
TOF-Watch SX can be used as a peripheral nerve stimulator, as a nerve locator for local anesthesia or as a neuromuscular monitor. And TOF-Watch SX can also be linked to a PC for real-time display of data that can later be exported and printed for record keeping.

Features
TOF-Watch SX is programmed to accommodate every type of stimulation pattern currently in use:

• Single twitch (ST) - at 0.1 or 1 Hz
• Train Of Four (TOF)
• Slow TOF (user programmable time intervals from 1 to 60 min.)
• Tetanic stimulation (at 50 or 100 Hz)
• Post Tetanic Count (PTC)
• Double Burst stimulation (DBS 3.3 and 3.2)

These patterns can also be adjusted manually using the "P button."

A constant current feature guarantees reliable stimulation even with increased skin resistance (up to 5 kOhm).

TOF-Watch SX has two automatic calibration modes, one at a user predetermined current and one which establishes the supramaximal value of the stimulation current. Manual gain adjustment is also available.

A superficial temperature sensor completes the package.

TOF-Watch SX presents all relevant data (twitches, body temperature, transducer sensitivity, stimulation mode, etc.) on an easy-to-read LCD display.

TOF Link
TOF Link, a fiber-optic cable facility, enables on-line data "dumping" from TOF-Watch SX to a PC without reciprocal electromagnetic interference with other OR or ICU appliances. During operations, data can be logged using the TOF-Watch SX Monitor program. In this way, detailed and authentic operation records can be created.

The TOF-Watch SX Monitor software makes a real-time data accessible for further processing on a personal computer. Its two basic functions are:

• Logging and display of real-time recorded data on personal computers
• Exporting and printing of previous recorded data

Good Clinical Practice conformity
During on-line data dumping, standard pre/programmed comments or other user comments can be added to patient recordings. Such comments can later be completed or changed. Program use is password controlled: the password can only be assigned by a main user.
