Device typeBlock-monitoring peripheral nerve electrical stimulation system: An assembly of battery-powered devices designed to apply electrical stimuli to a peripheral nerve (e.g., the ulnar or lower extremity nerve) to assess the adequacy of neuromuscular block during surgery, and its reversal during the recovery period. The system typically uses four kinds of stimulation: twitch, train-of-four, tetanic, and double burst. It typically includes conventional electrocardiographic electrodes and/or bipolar surface electrodes (ball electrodes), and a pulse generator.
