AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes standard neurophysiological monitoring techniques (EMG, MEP, SSEP) and a guidance system based on electrical stimulation and radiographic imaging. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning algorithms used for data analysis, interpretation, or decision-making. The "Bendini" software appears to be a tool for calculating rod bends based on instrumentation location, not an AI/ML application.

Therapeutic

No.
Explanation: The device is intended for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring to provide information to the surgeon, rather than directly treating a condition or disease.

Diagnostic

Yes

The device is intended for "intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during spinal surgery" and "provides information directly to the surgeon, to help assess a patient's neurophysiologic status." This involves monitoring various evoked potentials and electromyography responses to provide real-time assessment of nerve function, which are core functions of a diagnostic device.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description explicitly states that the NVM5 System hardware consists of a Patient Module (PM) and computer, as well as accompanying accessory components which consist of an assortment of disposable conductive probes, electrodes, and electrode leads. This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
NVM5 System Function: The NVM5 System operates by directly stimulating nerves within the patient's body and monitoring the resulting electrical responses (EMG, MEP, SSEP). It also uses radiographic imaging and provides guidance for surgical procedures.
No Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any specimens taken from the patient's body. Its function is based on real-time physiological responses and imaging data acquired during surgery.

Therefore, the NVM5 System falls under the category of a medical device used for intraoperative monitoring and surgical guidance, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Overview

Intended Use / Indications for 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 somatosensoty 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 ofLI-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 (LI-SI) 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 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:

Electromyography (EMG)
Motor Evoked Potential (MEP)
Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP)
Remote Reader
Guidance
Bendini

The NVM5 System hardware consists of a Patient Module (PM) and computer, as well as accompanying accessory components which consist of an assortment of disposable conductive probes, electrodes, and electrode leads.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Nonclinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the subject NVM5 System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices and to verify that the NVM5 System meets design specifications and performance characteristics, based upon the intended use. The NVM5 System was subjected to Verification and Validation Testing according to the Software Requirements Specifications defined for the system, to include the modifications made as part of the subject device. Laboratory bench top testing was performed to verify accuracy of angle and offset measurement and validate that the graphical user interface (GUI) and system components function as intended.
The results of these studies showed that the subject NVM5® System meets or exceeds the performance of the predicate device, and the device was therefore found to be substantially equivalent.
