This device is indicated for adults only. ## Device Story MultiStim SENSOR is a hand-held, battery-powered peripheral nerve stimulator used by anesthesiologists in clinical settings. It facilitates nerve identification via stimulation needles and percutaneous localization using adhesive skin electrodes. The device generates negative, monophasic pulses. A built-in microprocessor functions as a constant-current source (0-60mA range), dynamically adapting output voltage to compensate for varying patient tissue resistance. This ensures consistent stimulation current delivery despite skin impedance. The output assists clinicians in interpreting muscular feedback to assess muscle relaxant levels or locate nerves, aiding in regional anesthesia procedures. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and bench testing of the constant-current stimulation performance. ## Technological Characteristics Hand-held, battery-powered peripheral nerve stimulator. Constant-current source architecture using a microprocessor to adapt voltage based on patient resistance. Output: 0-60mA, negative monophasic pulses. Interfaces with peripheral nerve stimulation needles or adhesive skin electrodes. ## Regulatory Identification An electrical peripheral nerve stimulator (neuromuscular blockade monitor) is a device used to apply an electrical current to a patient to test the level of pharmacological effect of anesthetic drugs and gases. ## Predicate Devices - MultiStim VARIO Nerve Stimulators ([K011308](/device/K011308.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The devices can be used for: - . Nerve finding with peripheral nerve stimulation needles - Percutaneous localization . In relaxation monitoring for general anesthesia, the peripheral nerve stimulation technique is used to interpret the muscular feedback to stimulation pulses applied through adhesive skin electrodes in regards to the level of muscle relaxing drugs in the patient. Special functions do support this. Due to the fact, that the stimulation is done through the skin, much more electrical power is needed. That's why a stimulation current range of 0-60mA is needed. In both applications, negative, monophasic pulses are to be generated by the devices and applied to humans either through peripheral nerve stimulation needles or through selfadhesive stimulation electrodes on the skin. Since the human body acts as a variable resistor and the anesthesiologist sets the device to a certain stimulation current, the nerve stimulator has to act as a constant-current-source. A built in microprocessor constantly adapts the voltage applied to the patient in order to compensate the varying patient's resistance and to provide a constant current through the patient. ### Intended Use: Pajunks's MultiStim SENSOR is intended for nerve stimulation during anaesthesia delivery; first for percutaneous identification of peripheral nerves and second for percutaneous localizations. This device is indicated for adults only. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
