Trade stimulators were countertop machines widely used to encourage shoppers to indulge in a game of chance. [1] They became popular in American saloons during the 1880s, their use spreading to cigar, confectionery and general stores.
Dimensions: 6" high, 8" wide and 9-1/2" long and weighs 11 pounds. [10] Gearmotor: The unit is powered by a 1/16 HP – 15:1 ratio gearmotor made by Bodine Electric Co. [10] Diaphragm: Air is moved by a specially designed and molded diaphragm. It has the ability to push and pull air at a high speed. [10]
A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) or dorsal column stimulator (DCS) is a type of implantable neuromodulation device (sometimes called a "pain pacemaker") that is used to send electrical signals to select areas of the spinal cord (dorsal columns) for the treatment of certain pain conditions.
Compared to surface stimulation electrodes, implanted and percutaneous electrodes potentially have higher stimulation selectivity, which is a desired characteristics of FES systems. To achieve higher selectivity while applying lower stimulation amplitudes, it is recommended that both cathode and anode are in the vicinity of the nerve that is ...
Spinal cord stimulator, an implantable neuromodulation device; Sacral nerve stimulator, for bladder and/or bowel control Sacral anterior root stimulator; Thalamic stimulator, to suppress tremors; Vagus nerve stimulator, for epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression
A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation, but the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely, to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable ...
The FDA mandates that manuals prominently display contraindication, warnings, precautions and adverse reactions, including: no use for wearer of pacemaker; no use on vital parts, such as carotid sinus nerves, across the chest, or across the brain; caution in the use during pregnancy, menstruation, and other particular conditions that may be ...
The stimulator and sensory lead are then connected via a tunneled wire to an implantable pulse generator. When turned on during sleep, the sensory lead in the chest detects the respiratory cycle. During inspiration (i.e., inhale), an electrical signal is fired via the stimulator lead in the neck, stimulating the hypoglossal nerve, and causing ...
