Spanish term or phrase: reobase

As in this example taken from the Internet:

Reobase

Es la menor intensidad (en miliamperios) necesaria para conseguir una respuesta mínima con pulsos cuadrangulares de 1000 ms. (Respuesta motora o sensitiva, aunque habitualmente se hace referencia a la motora).

I am proofreading a document that has left reobase as it is, and I'm not convinced that is correct.

Thanks very much
