The effect of relaxants on individuals varies significantly. It can be extremely difficult to estimate the needed dosing unless response is monitored. Monitoring helps in timing and dosing the relaxant, helping maintain the optimal relaxation level.

Datex-Ohmeda has designed a line of Neuromuscular Transmission (NMT) supplies for a variety of applications. The ElectroSensor is a powerful and accurate tool designed for research purposes. MechanoSensor measures mechanical movements of the thumb and helps make it possible to take relaxation measurements routinely. There are two types of MechanoSensors, one for adults and one for pediatric patients.

The Sensor Cables are available in two lengths enabling flexible connection of both alternative NMT sensors and Regional Block Adapter.
