Neuromuscular Transmission Module
Reason
When the neuromuscular transmission (NMT) module E-NMT-01 is used in conjunction with the electrosensor, the neuromuscular transmission values may indicate a deeper level of muscle relaxation than the actual level of muscle relaxation. This issue may lead to an inadequate dose of muscle relaxants. The issue may occur when the e-nmt-01 module is plugged into the carescape or the Datex OHMEDA S/5 anesthesia monitor.
