Intended Use

The NVM5® System is a medical device that is intended for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during spinal surgery. 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 Reader - The Remote Reader function provides real time remote access to the NVM5 System for a monitoring physician outside of the operating room. Guidance - The Guidance function is intended as an aid for use in either open or percutaneous pedicle cannulation procedures in the lumbar and sacral spine (L1-S1) of adult patients, and when used in conjunction with radiographic imaging and EMG, allows the surgeon to assess the angulation of system accessories relative to patient spinal anatomy for the creation of a cannulation trajectory for bone screw placement. 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

NVM5 System provides intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during spinal surgery. Inputs include electrical nerve stimulation via surgical accessory electrodes and EMG/MEP/SSEP signals. System processes these signals to monitor nerve proximity, neuromuscular block, and spinal cord/motor pathway integrity. Integrated Guidance function uses radiographic imaging and EMG to assist pedicle cannulation; Bendini software uses optical tracking to locate spinal instrumentation and generate rod-bending instructions. Used in OR by surgeons; Remote Reader allows monitoring physician access outside OR. Output displayed on GUI for real-time clinical decision-making regarding nerve avoidance and surgical trajectory. Benefits include reduced risk of surgically induced nerve/motor injury.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and cadaveric testing only. Verification and validation testing performed per software requirements. Bench studies verified pulse width, amplitude, current polarity, stimulation rates, and response detection. Cadaveric testing validated point acquisition, user-defined inputs, and rod-bending instruction accuracy.

Technological Characteristics

System includes Patient Module, computer, and disposable conductive probes/electrodes. Features 32 channels; frequency response 3 Hz to 4.8 kHz; full scale view range ±0.5µV to ±8mV. Guidance uses optical (IR) tracking. Software includes EMG, MEP, SSEP, Remote Reader, Guidance, and Bendini rod-bending. Compliant with IEC 60601-1.

Indications for Use

Indicated for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during spinal surgery in adult patients. Used for nerve avoidance, pedicle cannulation trajectory assessment (L1-S1), and spinal rod shaping.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

### D. Device Description

The NVM5 System is a medical device that is intended for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during spinal surgery. 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), motor evoked potential (MEP) or somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) responses of nerves. Moreover, a Twitch Test function is utilized to test the ability of the nerve to respond, or contract, following four stimulation pulses to determine the presence of neuromuscular block.

Additionally, the NVM5 System includes an integrated stereotactic guidance system (NVM5 Guidance) to support the delivery of pedicle screws during EMG monitoring. The System also integrates Bendini software used to locate spinal implant instrumentation for the placement of spinal rods. Lastly, the system also offers an optional screen sharing application to allow a secondary physician to remotely view the events represented on the NVM5 user interface. In summary, the NVM5 System includes the following six (6) software functionalities / modalities:
