Preparation Prior to Setup Proceed with Setup (Steps One, Two and Three below) after intubation and placement of Stimulator (needle) and EMG (hydrogel surface) ground electrodes by the anesthesiologist (or surgeon).Proceed with Setup (Steps One, Two and Three below) after intubation and placement of Stimulator (needle) and EMG (hydrogel surface) ground electrodes by the anesthesiologist (or surgeon). The scrub nurse should have the Stimulating Hemostat and its (red) lead wire.The scrub nurse should have the Stimulating Hemostat and its (red) lead wire.

FYI --Placement of Electrodes The white, needle, stimulator ground electrode is placed just subdermal (cover with surgical tape). Hydrogel surface electrodes are placed after ten strokes (one direction) with the triangular pad (black side) on the skin area, followed by alcohol wipe/dry (cover with surgical tape).

Setup The Setup - OR Nurses Step 0ne: Nerveäna SetupStep 0ne: Nerveäna Setup Step Two: Connect Electrode LeadsStep Two: Connect Electrode Leads Step Three: Connect Stimulating Hemostat Red LeadStep Three: Connect Stimulating Hemostat Red Lead

Setup Step One: Nerveäna Setup (circulator) Place the Nerveäna on battery power* on flat, stable surface such as Mayo table (not on other electrical devices).Place the Nerveäna on battery power* on flat, stable surface such as Mayo table (not on other electrical devices). Connect black “EMG” and “STIM” cables to ports on back of Nerveäna (one way only).Connect black “EMG” and “STIM” cables to ports on back of Nerveäna (one way only). (*The AC battery charger can be used but may cause some “noise.”)

Setup Step One: Nerveäna (back) with Stim and EMG Cables Connected

Setup Step Two: Connect Electrode Leads (circulator) EMG cable terminal: Connect the Red and Blue electrode lead wires to Red and Blue ports. Connect the Green electrode ground lead to Green port.EMG cable terminal: Connect the Red and Blue electrode lead wires to Red and Blue ports. Connect the Green electrode ground lead to Green port. Stim cable terminal: Connect the White (needle) ground electrode lead wire to White port.Stim cable terminal: Connect the White (needle) ground electrode lead wire to White port.

Setup Step Two - Connect Electrode Leads

Setup Step Three: Connect Dissecting Stimulator Lead Wire The scrub nurse connects Blue end of Red lead wire to (Blue) Stimulating Hemostat and passes the Red end of lead wire off the sterile field to circulator for connection to Red port on Stim cable terminal.The scrub nurse connects Blue end of Red lead wire to (Blue) Stimulating Hemostat and passes the Red end of lead wire off the sterile field to circulator for connection to Red port on Stim cable terminal. (During surgery, the scrub nurse passes Stimulating Hemostat to surgeon.) (During surgery, the scrub nurse passes Stimulating Hemostat to surgeon.)

Setup Step Three – Connect the (Red) Dissecting Stimulator Lead Wire
