Intended Use
The Neurosign 800 is intended to monitor and to stimulate cranial motor nerves. The motor nerves are monitored by detecting EMG activity in the muscles they innervate.
Device Story
Neurosign 800; EMG machine and nerve stimulator. Inputs: EMG signals via intramuscular or surface electrodes; electrical current via stimulating probe. Operation: Central control unit processes EMG activity from innervated muscles; stimulator pod delivers current to nerve tissue. Output: Visual/auditory EMG monitoring; nerve stimulation. Usage: Clinical setting; operated by surgeons/clinicians. Benefit: Facilitates nerve identification and preservation during surgery.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness established via history of similar predicate devices and internal company clinical evaluations.
Technological Characteristics
EMG machine and nerve stimulator; central control unit with pre-amplifier pod and stimulator pod. Uses intramuscular or surface electrodes for EMG recording and stimulating probes for nerve tissue. Materials and manufacturing methods identical to Neurosign 100.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring and stimulation of cranial motor nerves in patients undergoing surgical procedures where nerve identification and preservation are required.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
