Nerve location/function operative test pulse generator
Definition
An electrically-powered unit intended to produce electrical signals for preoperative and/or intraoperative application of electrical stimulation, via a connected hand-held probe with distal electrodes (not included), to a neural tissue site to: 1) locate nerves during surgery to prevent unintentional injury; 2) diagnose or assess nerve function; and/or 3) help determine an optimal electrical stimulation site prior to implantation of an active implant [e.g., cochlear implant (CI), auditory brainstem implant (ABI)]. It does not display electromyography (EMG) readings. This is a reusable device.
