The patient interface box supports one Nervassure stimulator in the STIM 2 position. The Nervassure electrodes have a yellow
wire and black plug. Insert the black plug into the black (-) jack on the PI (STIM2). The Nervassure electodes deliver current to the
patient and act as the cathode.
The stimulus return electrode has a white wire and red plug. Insert the red plug into the white jack with a red ring (+). The stimulus
return electrode is required for stimulation and is referred to as the stimulus return or anode. Route the white (+) stimulus return
wire away from the channel 1- 4 electrode wires.
Patient Interface box and stimulator combinations
Note:
• The NIM Vital STIM1 and STIM2/Nervassure are wired independent of each other with each requiring an output (stimulator) and
a return (red electrode with white wire).
• By default STIM1 is on and STIM2 is o. STIM2 must be turned on manually (in Nervassure procedures the system turns on stim
2 when the user presses the baseline or adjust button). Refer to the “MONITORING mode” or “SETUP mode” topics.
• By default STIM1 and 2 are Monopolar Probes and must be changed manually for Bipolar. Refer to the “Settings” topics.
