Description
The Avanos RBW-5U is a Universal Lead Set primarily used as an accessory for peripheral nerve stimulators, such as the EZstim* line. It provides the electrical connection between the stimulator device and the nerve block needle or surface electrodes.
The "U" in the part number denotes its Universal design, which is engineered to bridge compatibility between different connector generations.
Technical Specifications
Length: 5 feet (approximately 1.5 meters).
Connection Size: Accommodates both 1.5 mm (safety/touch-proof) and 2 mm pins.
Sterility: Non-sterile.
Reusability: Reusable.
Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with the EZstim III* and other standard nerve stimulators/locators.
Key Features
Universal Interface: This lead set is highly versatile because it can connect to older equipment using 2 mm pins as well as modern stimulating needles that utilize 1.5 mm safety connectors.
Extended Reach: The 5-foot cable length allows for flexible placement of the nerve stimulator on an IV pole or equipment boom while ensuring the clinician has enough slack to perform the procedure comfortably.
Medical-Grade Durability: Constructed with reinforced strain relief and durable insulation to withstand the repetitive handling and cleaning required in a high-turnover Operating Room or Pre-Op environment.
Color-Coded Leads: Features standard color coding (typically red and black) to help the clinician quickly identify and maintain correct polarity during nerve localization.
Primary Uses
Nerve Localization: Its main function is to deliver low-voltage electrical pulses from a stimulator to a stimulating nerve block needle (like the PROBLOC II). This allows the physician to locate nerves by observing specific muscle twitch responses.
Neuromuscular Monitoring: It can be used with surface electrodes to monitor the level of neuromuscular blockade (muscle relaxation) in patients under general anesthesia.
Equipment Bridge: Acts as a reliable connector for clinicians who use a mix of different needle brands and stimulator models, eliminating the need for multiple proprietary lead sets.
