is running, and the TOF-Watch automatically reverts to its original mode.

Secondary functions
Secondary functions can be activated by pressing the secondary function button (4) prior to a
stimulation button. If no stimulation buttons are activated within 5 s after pressing the
secondary function button, the TOF-Watch automatically reverts to primary mode. When the
secondary function button (4) is activated, the
TOF s stimulation
4.3.1
Starts repetitive TOF s stimulation.
TOF s stimulation is TOF stimulation with user programmable repetition time
between 1 and 60 minutes. To be used in the I.C.U. or during surgery of long
duration. The repetition time can be programmed in the set-up menu (see Set-up
menu, page 16).
Readout of result is the same as for normal TOF stimulation.
4.3.2
Programmable stimulation
Starts one Programmed stimulation (if allowed).
The TOF-Watch also includes a user programmable button. The P-button can be
programmed to generate either Double Burst Stimulation (DBS) or 5 s of tetanic
(TET) stimulation (50 or 100 Hz in display). The set-up menu can be used to assign
either DBS3.2/DBS3.3, 50 Hz/100 Hz stimulation or no function (off) to the
P button (see Set-up menu on page 16).
Only tactile evaluation can be used to evaluate the patients' relaxation for both
DBS and TET stimulation, as no registration is performed. The display shows the
stimulation strength in mA or µC, but not the response.
The TOF-Watch automatically prevents the use of DBS and TOF for 20 s after the
last DBS.
The TOF-Watch automatically prevents the use of TET for 2 minutes after the last
TET or the last PTC.
