Proprietary hardware and software algorithms enable best-in-class performance, while simple setup and reliable operation offer an unrivaled user experience.
Adult and pediatric electrodes can be rapidly placed on either the hand or foot.
Electromyography (EMG) based measurements require no motion and can be utilized on tucked arms.
One button startup and AutoPTC enables continuous monitoring across all levels of neuromuscular blockade (TOF Ratio, TOF Count, Post-Tetanic Count).
Integration with electronic medical records (EMRs) eliminates manual charting.

Beyond usability, TwitchView is the ONLY quantitative neuromuscular monitor clinically validated as accurate and interchangeable with gold-standard mechanomyography (MMG). When clinical decisions are based on monitor data—accuracy matters. TwitchView has been validated in multiple independent studies and proven accurate from deep blockade to recovery.
"The TOF ratio measured with TwitchView, resembled gold-standard mechanomyography (MMG)4"
"Electromyography (EMG) with TwitchView and mechanomyography (MMG) most closely correlated with the palpated count3"
"Reversal with Sugammadex was deemed unnecessary in all cases managed clinically with the TwitchView Train of Four monitor.1"
"Using TwitchView, we eliminated the occurrence of residual neuromuscular blockade and utilized Sugammadex in less than 50% of patients2"
Attending Anesthesiologist, Philadelphia Academic Institution
In addition to real-time measurements, TwitchView displays the patient's level of blockade and recovery on a trend plot.The trend plot enables clinicians to visualize how neuromuscular blocking agents affect each patient differently, often leading to less overall drug use and more reversal options. Most importantly, adequacy of reversal is confirmed by a TOF ratio > 90% prior to extubation, which eliminates the possibility of residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) and supports conservative reversal choices.
"The maximum potential cost savings for Temple University Hospital derived from eliminating post operative pulmonary complications associated with residual neuromuscular blockade would be roughly $7 million dollars annually. This compares very favorably with an annual cost of implementing universal [TwitchView] quantitative train of four monitoring of $162,000."1
