DEVICE: Nerveana® (B006NVTKITMD52)

A hand-held surgical instrument intended to function as an electrical conductor to locate a nerve during open surgery, and for diagnostic purposes [electromyography (EMG), cortical mapping], by delivering controlled electrical impulses to a specific body site for the measurement of a neural response. It may be in the form of a needle probe or surgical forceps which is attached to an electrical pulse generator. This is a single-use device.

An electrical conductor designed to be attached to the skin surface of a patient outside of the hair line (i.e., non-scalp) to conduct electrical signals to/from a parent device for electrophysiological recording/monitoring [e.g., electromyography (EMG), evoked potentials (EP), nerve conduction study (NCS), bioelectrical impedance]; it is not primarily intended for diagnostic electrocardiography (ECG) or electroencephalography (EEG). It typically consists of a small rectangular tab or cup/disk with a conductive surface, which may include a lead wire. This is a single-patient device that may be reapplied to the patient over a short term (single-use) before being discarded.

A sterile electrical conducting device designed to be inserted percutaneously into muscle or nerve tissue to detect bioelectrical signal activity. It is a needle-like device (a needle electrode with an electrical connector at the proximal end) that is connected to an electromyograph (EMG) with a dedicated cable/lead. The EMG records the electrical signals and converts them into a readable graph format; it is not primarily intended for nerve stimulation. This is a single-use device.

A sterile electrical-conducting strip intended to be attached to an endotracheal tube to conduct the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the laryngeal and vocal cord musculature while the tube is in situ. It is used to assess the status of the nerves supplying the laryngeal musculature during surgery. It is intended to be connected to an appropriate EMG measuring/recording device, and may be supplied with a ground electrode. This is a single-use device.
