Indications for Use
The Next Generation NVM5® System is a medical device that is intended for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during spinal surgery, neck dissections, thoracic surgeries, and upper and lower extremities. The device provides information directly to the surgeon, to help assess a patient's neurophysiologic status. NVM5 provides this information by electrically stimulating nerves via electrodes located on surgical accessories and monitoring electromyography (EMG), transcranial or lumbar motor evoked potential (MEP) or somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) responses of nerves. The System also integrates Bendini™ software used to locate spinal implant instrumentation for the placement of spinal rods. XLIF (Detection) — The XLIF (Detection) function allows the surgeon to locate and evaluate spinal nerves, and is used as a nerve avoidance tool. Basic & Dynamic Screw Test - The Screw Test functions allow the surgeon to locate and evaluate spinal nerves by providing proximity information before, during or after bone preparation and placement of bone screws. Free Run EMG - The Free Run EMG function identifies spontaneous EMG activity of spinal nerves by continually displaying a live stream waveform of any mechanically induced myotome contractions. Twitch Test (Train of Four) — The Twitch Test function allows the surgeon to assess moderate degrees of neuromuscular block in effect by evaluating muscle contraction following a train of four stimulation pulses. MEP - Transcranial or lumbar (i.e., conus in region of L1-L2) stimulation techniques for motor evoked potentials are used to assess for acute dysfunction in axonal conduction of the corticospinal tract and peripheral nerves. The MEP function provides an adjunctive method to allow the surgeon to monitor spinal cord and motor pathway integrity during procedures with a risk of surgically induced motor injury. SSEP - The SSEP function allows the surgeon to assess sensory spinal cord function in surgical procedures during which the spinal cord is at risk. Remote Access - The remote monitoring and local wireless control provides real-time capabilities to the NG-NVM5 System for additional physicians. Bendini - The Bendini Spinal Rod Bending function is used to locate spinal implant system instrumentation (screws, hooks) to determine their relative location to one another to generate bend instructions to shape a spinal rod. A surgeon is able to use those instructions and bend a rod using the Bendini Bender, a mechanical rod bender.
Device Story
NG-NVM5 System provides intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring; inputs include electrical nerve stimulation via surgical accessory electrodes and EMG, MEP, or SSEP signal monitoring. System processes signals to assess nerve proximity, neuromuscular block, and spinal cord/motor pathway integrity. Outputs include live EMG waveforms, proximity alerts, and rod-bending instructions. Used in OR by surgeons; supports remote monitoring and local wireless control by additional physicians. Bendini software uses IR tracking to locate spinal instrumentation and generate rod-bending instructions. Device aids surgeons in nerve avoidance and monitoring during procedures with risk of surgically induced injury; benefits include real-time assessment of neurophysiologic status and improved spinal rod shaping.
