The display shows the twitch height of the last response. However, this is only valid
when the twitch has been calibrated. If the TOF-Watch has not been calibrated
after switching on, the
control twitch value is used for the calculation.
4.2.3 Post Tetanic Count stimulation (PTC)
Starts Post Tetanic Count (if allowed).
PTC starts with stimulations at a frequency of 1 Hz for 15 s. PTC is visible in
the display. When no responses are detected (i.e. when the neuromuscular block is
deep), this is followed by a 5 s 50 Hz stimulation. After a 3 s pause, stimulations
are performed at a frequency of 1 Hz for 15 s, while the number of detected
responses (Post Tetanic Count, updated after each stimulation) is shown in the
display. A short information beep indicates that the PTC is finished
The number of detected responses is shown on the display for 12 s after which
the TOF-Watch automatically enters the continuous TOF stimulation mode.
Post Tetanic Count can only be used when the responses to 1 Hz, 0.1 Hz or TOF
have disappeared (when the patient is deeply relaxed).
If the patient responds (more than five consecutive responses) during the first 15
stimulations, the TOF-Watch automatically switches to TOF-mode after 5 s.
The TOF-Watch automatically prevents the use of the PTC button for 2 minutes after
successful operation of PTC or TET. If activated before the time-out period has expired
an information beep will sound, PTC will be shown flashing for 5 s, if no other test
