NuVasive NVM5 Manual De Instrucciones página 3

ENGLISH
INTRODUCTION
The NVM5 System provides surgeon-driven neurophysiologic electromyography (EMG),
®
Motor Evoked Potential (MEP), and Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) monitoring
to nerve roots and the spinal cord during spinal procedures.
Bendini is the NVM5 Rod Bending System used to bend rods for spinal surgery
®
applications. The system is comprised of a camera and digitizer to register implant
locations, NVM5 software to calculate bend angles between each implant and generate
bend instructions, and a mechanical bender to manually bend the rod to implant specific
contours.
NVM5 Guidance incorporates accelerometers attached to both the C-Arm and to the
NuVasive I-PAS™ needle (accelerometers are microdevices that can measure trajectory)
®
as well as lasers and a Reticle that together assist in aligning the I-PAS needle into the
trajectory corresponding with the owl's eye view for pedicle cannulation.
The purpose of this manual is to provide safety, maintenance, and technical guidance for
the NuVasive NVM5 System.
Before use of the System, please refer to the detailed on-screen Instructions for Use
