Product name: Portable muscle stimulator
Trade name: Muscle Stim P
Product Specifications: Muscle stimulators are devises required for the Ano- rectal malformation surgery to detect the exact position of the muscle complex. Muscle stimulators in the market are costly, imported and bulky with wires and are powered by mains electricity. Hence, there is a possibility of mains electrical charge may directly go to the patient’s body and leading to complications. Wires are annoying in the operative field and impose difficulty in sterilization. To solve above problems, I designed a portable battery-operated rechargeable muscle stimulator. It has two stainless-steel pins with an on off switch with power LED and a rechargeable battery with an adapter for charging. It is portable as it has no wires, hence it is quite convenient to use during surgery. It is indigenized and cheap costing only Rs. 10,000. It has output of only 3 Volts DC.
Intended application: It is used as a muscle stimulator in operations of anorectal malformation-Imperforate anus to detect exact location of the muscle complex
Class B
Material: Pins 316 grade stainless steel, body Aluminum
Sterilization The product is sterilized by placing in Formalin chamber for 30 minutes or by ETO (Ethylene Oxide sterilization)
Method of using the device:The muscle stimulator is first charged fully by inserting the adapter into mains socket and the DC pin of the adapter is inserted into the body of muscle stimulator. The charging time is 4 hours. The charging pin is removed. The product is sterilized by placing in Formalin chamber for 30 minutes or by ETO (Ethylene Oxide sterilization). The on off switch is switched on and LED lits on indicating that the muscle stimulator is working. The pins of the muscle stimulator are placed on the muscle complex which starts contracting. Thus, the muscle complex is identified and bowel is pulled through it during surgery. After use, it is cleaned by 70 % alcohol and placed in a safe site in surgical cabinet.
Packing & storage Condition: The product is stored in a dust free cabinet at 25-40 % centigrade temperature. It is packed with multiple layers of bubble wraps and placed in a metal container of appropriate size and sent by courier
