Introducing the MECTA ΣigmaTM

​

​

Maximum Treatment Flexibility in One Device

MECTA Σigma provides a smooth transition from the spECTrum® 5000Q, 5000M, or other ECT models—all in one simple to use device. The practitioner can easily switch from One Knob Mode (automatically and optimally alters stimulus intensity) to Four Knob Mode (adjusts individual parameter values). The MECTA Σigma has the widest range of stimulus parameters of any ECT device: pulse width from 0.15 to 1 ms; current from 500 to 900 mA; pulse frequency from 10 to 120 Hz; and train duration from 0.029 to 8 seconds.

 

Enhanced Performance and Superior Ease-of-Use

With simple pop-up menus, users easily choose options from the main Home screen – no buried menus.

• Select among seven physiological monitoring channels (6 EEG/1 ECG), including the new electromyography (EMG) and Optical Motion Sensor (OMS)

• See all seven traces on the ultra-sharp 7” LCD screen, or select four channels to print on the new, high-resolution

Chart Recorder

• Power on and internal tests are faster so you can begin treatments in half the time

 

Unparalleled Monitoring and Safety

With continuous monitoring of static impedance and automatic shutdown, you never have to worry when it is safe to treat. And you won’t lose valuable trace data again due to excessive artifact or lead malfunction, as monitoring lead conductivity is readily available in the Lead Impedance Test Screen. Printed reports like the new Biomedical Report and Error Logs Report help ensure the device operational status is optimal.

New Lightweight, Portable Design

The MECTA Σigma is a new ECT device that meets the needs of hospitals concerned about portability and space. At 25.5 lbs. and measuring 8 X 17.5 X 19.5 inches, the sleek design of the MECTA Σigma allows easy storage in a cupboard or on MECTA’s versatile, new hospital cart. Add a MECTA Hand-Held Electrode Assembly and approved MECTA treatment accessories for an efficient ECT delivery system.
