Indications for Use
The Cadwell Disposable Probe Handle is a component of the Cadwell Kilowin System that is used to perform localized stimulation of neural tissue and to locate, identify and monitor cranial motor nerves, peripheral nerves and spinal nerve roots during surgery. The Cadwell Disposable Probe Handle is a sterile, disposable, single patient use device.
Device Story
Handheld, sterile, single-patient-use probe handle; accessory to Cadwell Kilowin surgical monitoring instrument. User inserts detachable, disposable monopolar stimulator probes into handle tip; electrical contact established via internal connector. Device delivers electrical stimulation to neural tissue; enables surgeon to locate, identify, and monitor cranial motor nerves, peripheral nerves, and spinal nerve roots during surgery. Used in surgical environment by clinical staff. Output consists of electrical stimulation pulses; surgeon observes physiological response (e.g., EMG) via the connected monitoring system to guide surgical navigation and avoid nerve damage.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including software verification and validation, sterility protocol development and validation, and electromagnetic compatibility testing.
Technological Characteristics
Medical grade polycarbonate handle; stainless steel stimulator probe with insulated shaft. Electrical stimulation: 0-100 mA, monophasic/biphasic waveforms, max 400V. Features touch-proof handle connector per IEC 60601-1. Sterile, single-use, disposable. Connects to Cadwell Kilowin system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in surgical settings to perform localized stimulation of neural tissue and to locate, identify, and monitor cranial motor nerves, peripheral nerves, and spinal nerve roots. Intended for use as a component of the Cadwell Kilowin System.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

| Cadwell Disposable Probe<br>Handle | The Cadwell Disposable Probe Handle is used to perform precise localized<br>stimulation of neural tissue and to locate, identify and monitor cranial motor<br>nerves, peripheral nerves and spinal nerve roots during surgery. The Cadwell<br>Disposable Probe Handle is a sterile, disposable, single patient use device. |
| Medtronic/Xomed NIM<br>Incrementing Probe | This device is intended for use in surgical procedures for patient-connected<br>intraoperative nerve monitoring, i.e. assisting the surgeon in locating and<br>mapping motor nerves through the use of electromyographic (EMG) signals<br>and electrical stimulus of nerves. This device is indicated for locating and<br>identifying cranial and peripheral motor nerves during surgery, including spinal<br>nerve roots. |
| NuVasive Neurovision Probe<br>Handle | The NeuroVision JJB System is used for intraoperative monitoring and<br>neurological status assessment by the administration of brief electrical stimulus<br>pulses to neural tissues and the EMG monitoring of the associated muscle<br>groups. The System is used in conjunction with other NuVasive devices to<br>assist in gaining controlled access to, and visualization of, the spine. |
