  • Publication number: 20230329626
    Abstract: The invention provides an advanced, modular, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) system, referred to as a “NeuroNet-VII” System, which is the first IONM system designed with a USB hub architecture comprising serially-connected functional “pods which provides multi-modality simultaneous data acquisition which supports all data types useful in operating rooms, diagnostic laboratories, intensive care units, and epilepsy monitoring units. The unique pod architecture makes the IONM system highly modular compared to current systems which typically place components in a limited number of centralized enclosures.

  • Publication number: 20230255560
    Abstract: Electrodes providing excellent recording and physical stability. Electrodes are disclosed that may include a plurality of small teeth that possess a novel design shape and orientation. The shallow and relatively long teeth run parallel to the rim of the electrode that presses against the patient’s skin. When the electrode is twisted onto skin, the tiny teeth penetrate the stratum corneum and move nearly horizontally under the stratum corneum, thus anchoring the electrode securely to the skin. The electrodes cause minimal discomfort to the patient since the small teeth do not extend to the pain fibers which are located in deeper layers of the skin. The electrodes may be fabricated in a variety of geometries including cylindrical, disk, and blunt bullet or top shapes. In some instances, the electrodes may be connected to detachable leads having magnetic properties.
