Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
These devices are stimulator, nerve electrodes designed to monitor nerve function during surgical procedures. They deliver electrical stimulation to assess nerve integrity and response, aiding in procedures such as facial nerve monitoring, particularly in ear, nose, and throat surgeries. The probes facilitate real-time feedback to surgeons, helping prevent nerve damage and ensuring precise anatomical navigation.
The Nerve Monitor Electrodes/Stimulator Probes are single-use, non-sterile devices intended for use in controlled clinical environments. They are classified under FDA regulation 874.1820 and hold a 510(k) clearance (K945242) for substantial equivalence. Supplied as reusable or disposable probes (depending on model), they require proper handling and storage per manufacturer instructions. Compatibility with MRI environments is not specified, and sizes vary by model reference.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What are the Micromed Nerve Monitor Electrodes/Stimulator Probes used for?
These electrodes are designed to monitor nerve function during surgical procedures, particularly in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries. They deliver controlled electrical stimulation to assess nerve integrity and response in real time, helping surgeons prevent nerve damage and ensure precise anatomical navigation.
Are the Nerve Monitor Electrodes/Stimulator Probes single-use or reusable?
The devices are classified as single-use, non-sterile probes intended for use in controlled clinical environments. However, they are supplied as either reusable or disposable probes depending on the specific model reference. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper handling and use.
Do these electrodes require special storage or handling?
Yes, the electrodes must be stored and handled according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain their functionality. Since they are single-use in some models, ensure they are kept in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures until use.
Are there different sizes or models available for these nerve stimulator probes?
Yes, the Nerve Monitor Electrodes/Stimulator Probes come in multiple sizes and models, each referenced by a unique identifier. The specific model determines compatibility with surgical procedures and electrode placement. Check the manufacturer’s documentation for details on selecting the appropriate size for your application.
What regulatory clearance do these nerve stimulator probes hold?
These devices hold FDA 510(k) clearance (K945242) under the classification of nerve stimulators, with substantial equivalence determined for use in nerve monitoring during ENT procedures. The clearance is specific to the intended use as described in the manufacturer’s submission.
