Intended Use
The SeaSpine Monopolar Probe System is indicated for tissue dilation and nervous tissue stimulation by means of electrical current to assess location and identification of motor nerves (including spinal nerve roots) for nervous tissue avoidance during a routine surgical approach to the spine.
Device Story
System consists of insulated monopolar probes used for intraoperative nerve stimulation; stainless steel conductive wire core; PEEK insulation; distal tip contacts tissue; proximal end connects to external standard intraoperative neuromonitoring stimulator. Used by surgeons during spinal procedures to deliver electrical current to tissue; triggered EMG response recorded by external system; allows identification of motor nerves; facilitates nervous tissue avoidance; improves surgical safety.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility assessed per ISO 10993; adhesive tested per USP Class VI. Electrical safety conforms to IEC 60601-1:1988/A1:1991/A2:1995.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Stainless steel (conductive core), PEEK (insulation). Design: Monopolar probe with insulated shaft, exposed distal tip, proximal connector. Energy: Electrical stimulation (external source). Connectivity: Connects to standard intraoperative neuromonitoring stimulators. Sterilization: Steam sterilizable. Standards: IEC 60601-1:1988/A1:1991/A2:1995, ISO 10993, USP Class VI.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing spinal surgery requiring motor nerve (including spinal nerve roots) location and identification to avoid nervous tissue injury during surgical approach.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A surgical nerve stimulator/locator is a device that is intended to provide electrical stimulation to the body to locate and identify nerves and to test their excitability.

The biocompatibility of the subject device was assessed per ISO 10993. The biocompatibility of the adhesive used internally was assessed per USP Class VI testing. The probes are manufactured from stainless steel and PEEK with a long track record of use in the medical device industry and in instruments that directly contact tissue. The tissue contact duration of the SeaSpine Monopolar Probe System is brief (<1 hour), and this level of testing far exceeds the requirements for similar instruments and contact duration per ISO 10993-1. Electrical Safety of the SeaSpine Monopolar Probe System conforms to IEC 60601-1:1988 /A1:1991 /A2:1995 Clause 56.3(c) per 21 CFR 898.12.
Engineering analysis, specifications, and labeling have established that the SeaSpine Monopolar Probe System is similar or identical to legally marketed predicates in terms of indications for use, materials, design, and functionality. Therefore, we have demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate devices.
