About This Guide Welcome to the MYOTRAC INFINITI™ encoder. This guide is designed to help you get up and running quickly with your new encoder. It will describe the operation of the encoder, and how it interfaces to the host personal computer (PC).
Note: EMG triggered STIM is not available for incontinence application. A simple first approach has been adopted in the design of the MyoTrac Infiniti to make it as easy and fast as possible to get the clinical results desired from this powerful device.

Note: exact power supply subject to change without notice. Internal Charger If your MyoTrac Infiniti was supplied with a wall mounted AC adapter it is possible to charge the battery pack while it is inserted in the device. Note: Only use Thought Technology Ltd supplied wall mounted chargers with this device. Failure to do so could result in potential injury.
Tapping Like using a mouse on a computer screen the MyoTrac Infiniti allows you to use your finger or a stylus to tap the buttons directly on the screen. The first time you start your handheld unit, or if the power has been disconnected for a while, you will be guided through a set of welcome screens including calibration, time and date setting.

If the PC is portable, running the MyoTrac Infiniti unit off of the PC’s battery via the USB cable, with the PC and the MyoTrac’s AC adapters both unplugged. Recharging using the AC adapter may be necessary when the MyoTrac is not in use.
PC, and then plug the other end into the USB connector marked with the USB Symbol on the top edge of the MyoTrac Infiniti. As the device is plug and play, when you switch on the encoder the computer will automatically recognize it. Now recognized it will be listed in the device manager as a Human Interface Device (HID Compliant Device).
Thought Support help icon, available in the top left of every screen. Thought Support Thought Support is a help feature that is available in every screen of the MyoTrac Infiniti. To access Thought Support tap the question mark in the top left corner of every screen. This will present you with screen specific assistance explaining the buttons and their functions.
Settings Menu The settings menu is accessible from the main menu and give you control over the global settings of the MyoTrac Infiniti. Welcome Settings If not performed when the unit was first switched on the calibration of the screen and the setting of the internal clock can be done from the Settings/Welcome menu.

Script Sessions. Recorded data can be saved onto the internal memory of the MyoTrac Infiniti or onto a Compact Flash Card (CF) inserted into the MyoTrac Infiniti, or transferred in real time to the host PC. It is also possible to not save any data and just verify the signal.
Page 29
Press the Record button having verified the signal (if session is not being saved, then it is just running). When the session has been completed tap the Stop button and you will be returned to the main menu. ™ MyoTrac Infiniti User Guide...
This would give the script a duration of 100 seconds. The MyoTrac Infiniti comes with a number of pre-defined SEMG Scripts for you to use. To select one, choose the body area that you are going to be working with and it will show you a list of scripts that are applicable to that body area.
Page 31
If this session is subsequently transferred to the host PC running BioGraph Infiniti then the information corresponding to the script that was used to record the session will also be transmitted, even if it was a unique custom script. For more information see Chapter 5. ™ MyoTrac Infiniti User Guide...
One safety feature of the MyoTrac Infiniti is a “client detect”, that detects the connection of the electrodes to the user. If there is not a good electrical connection the unit will not permit the stim to start.
2 channels of stimulation are possible. Stimulation for Incontinence Treatment The MyoTrac Infiniti can be used to treat 3 different types of incontinence: stress incontinence, urge incontinence and mixed incontinence. Depending on the type of incontinence, the pulse rate will vary.
Page 34
The pulse width is the duration of each of these individual pulses. To make changes to any of these settings press the edit button on the bottom left of the screen. ™ MyoTrac Infiniti User Guide...
Page 35
If at anytime you wish to stop the session press the STOP button that covers the top portion of the screen. As a safety feature if the MyoTrac Infiniti detects the electrodes being removed while the unit is stimulating, it will automatically stop the Stim.
The MyoTrac Infiniti comes with a number of pre-defined Stim Scripts for you to use. To select one, choose the body area that you are going to be working with and it will show you a list of scripts that are applicable to that body area.
Chapter 4 EMG-STIM on your MYOTRAC INFINITI™ Encoder EMG-Stim Sessions EMG-Stim sessions are conducted in a Script format only. A script session is a session where the type, number and duration of steps within the session are pre-defined. A simple example would be a work/rest script that may contain five interspaced work and rest steps each ten seconds in length.
Page 38
SEMG triggered Stim sessions are conducted in a Script format. A Script takes the form of a number of work and rest steps. During a work step, the MyoTrac Infiniti will guide the client to activate the muscle being monitored. In addition to the signal displayed on the graph we can also see the trigger threshold defined at setup time.
Page 39
Alternating EMG-Stim sessions are conducted in a Script format. A Script takes the form of a number of work and rest steps. During a work step, the MyoTrac Infiniti will deliver an electrical impulse to the muscle being monitored. This stimulation will cause the muscle to contract. During the rest step, the patient will volitionally contract their muscle in a manner similar to what was felt when the electrical impulse was delivered during the previous work step.
Page 40
Start the EMG Triggered Stim session: Start the Script driven session by tapping the record button. To stop the session tap this button again, or, during the Stim delivery, press the stop button. Note: EMG triggered STIM is not available for incontinence application. ™ MyoTrac Infiniti User Guide...
Data Management on your MYOTRAC INFINITI™ Encoder This chapter explains how to manipulate the data that you have recorded to the MyoTrac Infiniti for a number of clients and how to interface this data with the BioGraph Infiniti on the host PC.
MyoTrac Infiniti Review Data can also be reviewed on the MyoTrac Infiniti as a stand alone piece of equipment. It is possible to view the summary statistics or replay the session in either of two display types. To access the data tap the Database button on the main menu. This will present you with the saved sessions listed in order of date.
Chapter 6 Display Options on your MYOTRAC INFINITI™ Encoder In this chapter we will take a closer look at each of the three major display types with which to view SEMG data. Displays When recording an SEMG session, there are three types of data display available: Line Graph, Bar Graph, and Digital Display.
