ABSTRACT:
An indicator for a nerve stimulator located remotely from the pulse generator and secured onto the precise portion of the anatomy under observation for responsive twitch. The indicator comprises exemplary embodiments of visual annunciators including a light bulb, a light emitting diode, a liquid crystal diode, or other visual indications. A wrap arrangement holds the indicator to the observed part of the anatomy such as a finger. Alternately, a finger cap attachment provides a convenient means to attach the annunciator to a finger under observation. A needle probe can be used for mounting the annunciator to internal areas of the anatomy. A second exemplary embodiment of the indicator provides that the annuciator is mounted to a needle probe wherein the indicator signal and the pulse are directed to the same location of the anatomy, and where the annunciator is mounted to a free end of the needle probe, twitching of the flesh at the probe sight is readily visible by movement of the annunciator in synchronization with the flashing annunciator. As an alternative to the visible indicators, an audible annuciator, such as a sound emitting transducer, can be locally mounted to the part of the anatomy under observation.
