Introduction

PHYSICIAN NOTE: The physician must convey the indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions given in this document to the patient.

Device description

The NIM-Eclipse™ System is an eight-channel EMG and evoked potential monitor for intraoperative use during surgeries in which a motor nerve is at risk due to unintentional manipulation. The NIM-Eclipse™ System records electromyographic (EMG) activity from muscles innervated by the affected nerve. The monitor will assist early nerve identification by providing the surgeon with a tool to help locate and identify the particular nerve at risk within the surgical field. It will continuously monitor EMG activity from the muscles innervated by the nerve at risk to minimize trauma by alerting the surgeon when a particular nerve has been activated.

Indications for use

The NIM-Eclipse™ System is intended for use to record, monitor and stimulate/record biopotential signals including electromyograph (EMG), evoked response and nerve/muscle potentials, and for the intraoperative diagnosis of acute dysfunction in corticospinal axonal conduction. The system provides feedback to the surgeon and operating room team to assist in the localization and assessment of spinal nerves and verification of placement of spinal instrumentation to avoid injury to at risk nerve roots.

Target patient population

The NIM-Eclipse™ System is used during minimally invasive and open operative surgical procedures in various locations of the body with peripheral and/or central nervous system involvement in adult patients where intraoperative neuromonitoring is appropriate. It is designed to be used by neurophysiology clinicians, technicians or surgeons.

Intended use

The NIM-Eclipse™ System is intended for locating and identifying cranial and peripheral motor and mixed motor-sensory nerves during surgery, including spinal cord and spinal nerve roots. Indicated surgical procedures include intracranial, extracranial, intratemporal, extratemporal, neck dissections, thoracic surgeries, and upper and lower extremities.

Contraindications

The use of paralyzing anesthetic agents will significantly reduce, if not completely eliminate, EMG responses to direct or passive nerve stimulation. Whenever nerve paralysis is suspected, consult an anesthesiologist. Comprehensive relative contraindications for transcranial electrical motor evoked potentials (MEP) include epilepsy, cortical lesions, convexity skull defects, raised intracranial pressure, cardiac disease, proconvulsant medications or anesthetics, intracranial electrodes, vascular clips or shunts, and cardiac pacemakers or other implanted biomedical devices. Otherwise, unexplained intraoperative seizures and possibly arrhythmias are indications to abort MEP.

Warnings and Precautions

It is important that the NIM-Eclipse™ System operator be familiar with this manual, device warnings and precautions, procedures and safety issues.

Warnings W1 W2

W3

The NIM-Eclipse™ System does not prevent the surgical severing of nerves. If monitoring is compromised, the surgical practitioner must rely on alternate methods or surgical skills, experience, and anatomical knowledge to prevent damage to nerves. To avoid alternate site patient burns or lesions: • Do not activate the electrosurgical instrument (ESU) while the stimulator is in contact with tissue. • Do not leave dissection instruments, stimulating electrodes or probes in surgical field. • Do not store dissection instruments, stimulating electrodes or probes in electrosurgical instrument holder. • Do not allow a second surgeon to use electrosurgical instrument while stimulator is in use. • Do not activate electrosurgical instrument for prolonged periods while ESU is not in contact with tissue. • Do not activate electrosurgical instrument near the recording or stimulating electrodes. • Do not allow Stimulators, Digital Preamplifiers, or recording/stimulating electrodes sites to be flooded with saline. • Do not allow excessive stray AC or DC leakage currents from patient-connected equipment; avoid creating an unintended grounding path through applied electrodes. • Verify that the ESU return electrode is properly applied and making good contact with the patient. • Do not use the ESU return electrode as the patient ground connection for the NIM-Eclipse™ System. • Do not place the ESU return electrode above or near the NIM-Eclipse™ System recording or stimulating electrodes. • Do not connect the patient or patient ground electrode to grounded metal objects or to earth ground, either directly or indirectly. • Avoid using non-approved external patient connected devices, which may create pathways from the patient to earth ground. • Practitioner is responsible for proper use, periodic safety certification of patient connected equipment, and AC power grounding in accordance to appropriate IEC 60601-1 and/or IEC60601-1-1 medical safety standard. Safe stimulus levels are dependent on various conditions including but not limited to: type of excitable tissue, charge per pulse, and charge per unit area. Waveform morphology, repetition rate, and stimulator effective surface area must be considered. Special operator (Neurophysiologist) attention is required for stimulus levels which exceed default settings or conditions. Levels higher than 2 mA RMS/ cm2 may result in neural tissue damage or injury to exposed tissue. Do not exceed an energy level of 50 mJ per pulse (measured into a 1 kilo-ohm load).

Introduction

W4 W5 W6

While Muting is activated, auditory and visual monitoring are disabled. High stimulator current and/or transcranial motor stimulation may cause involuntary patient movement resulting in patient injury. High stimulator current and/or transcranial motor stimulation activating of the fifth cranial nerve or Mastication muscles may cause tongue lacerations. W7 Do not use this instrument for either direct stimulation to, or direct recording from, the heart. Do not use for trans-thoracic stimulation; maintain anode and cathode stimulating sites in close proximity. W8 Direct stimulator contact may disrupt the operation of active implanted devices. Do not stimulate a patient with an implanted cardiac pacemaker or similar implanted device without the approval of a licensed medical practitioner. W9 Do not use high level electrical or MEP stimulation to directly stimulate an exposed nerve. W10 High level electrical stimulators can produce outputs of 400V @ 100mA. Use electrodes with appropriate surface area to ensure safe current densities. Do not use a needle electrode for patient ground. W11 Avoid prolonged use of high sound pressure levels or light intensity stimulation which may cause permanent hearing or visual impairment. W12 LED goggles for flash stimulation should be used with closed eyes only. W13 False negative responses (failure to locate nerve) may result from: • Shorted EMG electrode or cabling (conductive parts of applied needle electrodes or cables contacting each other). • Inadequate stimulus current (too low or set to 0 mA). • Inadequate current for stimulation of nerve through hardware, such as pedicle screws or stimulus dissection instruments, may vary based on the physical size, shape characteristics, and design of the hardware and proximity to the nerve. • Neuromuscular fatigue from prolonged or repeated exposure to electrical stimuli. • Inadvertent simultaneous current delivery from both Stimulator probe outputs. This may result in current shunting, division between the stimulator probes (this is referring to monopolar probes only). • Flatline on the EMG channel caused by shorted internal amplifier (characterized by baseline activity of < 3 µV p-p). • Electrodes not positioned properly in the target muscles • Non-flush contact between the stimulating electrode or probe and the nerve, inadequate stimulator probe electrical contact surface area, or high impedance. • Stimulator return electrode is not connected, or other incomplete electrical connection between the NIM-Eclipse™ System, monitoring electrode and stimulator probe. • Defective stimulating electrode or probe. W14 Do not power-on the NIM-Eclipse™ System when the stimulator is in the surgical field. W15 To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, do not use the NIM-Eclipse™ System in the presence of flammable anesthetics and/or oxygen-rich environments. W16 To avoid electrical shock, do not attach unapproved components or accessories to the NIM-Eclipse™ System. W17 Proper handling, insertion, and placement of electrodes and probes is critical for safe and accurate monitoring. W18 Improperly placed or bent needles increase the risk of needles breaking off in the patient. W19 Do not attempt to straighten bent needles because this may cause stress and weaken device, causing needles to break off in patient. W20 Extreme care must be taken when handling instruments with sharp points or edges. W21 The surgical practitioner must choose the appropriate size and locations of electrodes and probes based on the procedure to be performed and the stimulating current necessary for the application. W22 Reuse of single use electrodes and probes increases the risk of infection and may cause degraded or ineffective monitoring. W23 After each procedure, properly clean and disinfect all reusable system components. W24 Disconnect power to the NIM-Eclipse™ System or connected printer before cleaning the unit to avoid electrical macro shock. W25 To avoid the risk of electric shock, connect the NIM-Eclipse™ System to hospital grade receptacles only. Achieve electrical grounding reliability with proper connections. W26 This medical device complies with IEC/EN60601-1-2 safety standard for electromagnetic compatibility, requirements and test. However, if this equipment is operated in the presence of high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or highly sensitive equipment, interference may be encountered and the user should take whatever steps are necessary to eliminate or reduce the source of the interference. Diminished performance may lengthen operating time for anesthetized patient. W27 All service must be performed by Medtronic qualified service personnel only. Repair and/or modification to the NIM-Eclipse™ System or any accessory by anyone other than Medtronic qualified service personnel may significantly compromise the unit’s ability to monitor nerve activity or expose hazardous voltages. W28 Use of any accessories, cables and disposables other than those specified or provided by Medtronic could result in compromised operation such as but not limited to decreased accuracy, increased electromagnetic emissions, or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment. W29 Electrode integrity should be checked after electrode insertion and before electrode removal to give additional assurance that electrode continuity was maintained throughout the entire procedure. If the system indicates improper electrode impedance, consult the Troubleshooting topic for impedance value troubleshooting.

Precautions P1

To avoid loud, extraneous monitoring noise during electrosurgical unit activation, ensure the ESU detection software is enabled or the Muting Probe is properly attached to the active electrosurgical lead. P2 To avoid false positive EMG events (stimulus artifacts): • Ensure the recording electrodes and the stimulator (+) or (-) cabling are routed separately and not tangled. • When possible, ensure the EMG ground is physically placed between the stimulator return electrode and the EMG channel input electrodes. P3 Proper placement and setup of the electrosurgical unit away from the NIM-Eclipse™ System will reduce or minimize unnecessary muting and interference. P4 Cables should be secured to the floor with tape or other non-trip device. P5 To avoid excessive muting: • Avoid high-power electrosurgical unit monopolar settings. Note that muting caused by electrode charging may last several seconds after electrosurgical Instrument use. • Avoid accidental contact between connected but unapplied electrodes and other conductive parts. P6 Contaminated single use electrodes and probes must be disposed of in an appropriate sharps biohazard container in accordance with hospital or other user facilities policy. P7 This equipment is not liquid or splash proof. Erratic operation or permanent damage can result if water or liquids enter any of the electronic portions of this equipment. P8 Do not modify, change, alter or delete the software in this equipment. Third party software may interfere with proper operation of this medical device. Do not install any off-the-shelf software without first consulting Medtronic. Installing unapproved software may void the warranty. P9 Automatic updates of Windows™* and Anti-Virus software have been disabled to prevent updating during a monitored procedure. However the user will continue to be notified when software updates are available to be downloaded. Always install new updates as soon as is practically possible to ensure your system is current. P10 Non-medical equipment approved to an appropriate standard (like IEC 60950) may be connected to the System I/O and auxiliary mains output provided that the total leakage current meets the requirements of IEC 60601-1. If not, an IEC 60601-1 approved isolation transformer with appropriate ratings must be used. Consult Medtronic for additional details. P11

To avoid system damage, do not connect any device other than NIM-Eclipse™ System accessories into the inputs on the rear panel of the NIM-Eclipse™ System controller. P12 Reasonable care should be made in making electrical connections and handling electrically powered devices. Do not use damaged electrical equipment or frayed electrical cords. P13 The NIM-Eclipse™ System operates from power sources of 50 to 60 Hz at 100/240 VAC. Use only hospital-grade power cords and the connectors supplied with the NIM-Eclipse™ System. Be sure power cords and connectors are in good condition. Never apply a voltage to the equipment that is outside the range specified for its connectors.

Introduction

P15 Avoid accidental contact between connected but unapplied parts (devices which can be connected to the patient) and other conductive parts including those connected to protective earth. P16 To avoid electrical and fire hazard, use only recommended fuses. Fuses must match by type, voltage rating, and current rating. P17 To prevent overheating, keep ventilation holes free from obstruction. P18 Do not connect USB devices to the system while a test is running. P19 At the end of their life cycle, all NIM-Eclipse™ System electronic components must be sent to a WEEE recycling center or disposed of according to local regulations. P20 The NIM-Eclipse™ System is not defibrillator-proof. Remove all applied parts from the patient before applying the defibrillator. P21 Do not exceed the power rating of the NIM-Eclipse™ System Controller CPU Power Output (200VA). P22 Check the polarity and function before inserting peripheral connectors. Digital Preamplifier Module and Stimulator connectors will mate easily if alignment arrows line up. Damage will occur if excessive insertion force is used. P23 Medical electrical equipment including the NIM-Eclipse™ System may be affected by RF sources, such as radio or TV stations and portable or mobile cellphones or communications devices. Consider RF sources when installing this equipment. P24 The NIM-Eclipse™ System should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the NIM-Eclipse™ System should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used. P25 Once the user bends the probe, DO NOT attempt to straighten the probe again as damage will occur to the insulation.

The PIM contains the recording electrode amplifier and electrical stimulator to connect to probes, MEP and TOF electrodes. The Patient Interface Module has inputs for one or two (left and right) pulse oximeters. The PIM accepts recording electrodes from subdermal needle and surface electrodes. The PIM connects to the NIM-Eclipse™ System Controller via a two-connector, 20ft cable. Note: The use of the Pulse Oximeter sensors with the NIM-Eclipse™ E4 System is not approved in Brazil or Canada.

PIM recording electrode inputs Eight numbered and color-coded recording channels are provided grouped in two sets (left and right) of four channels. Electrode inputs of channels 1-4 are marked with a black outline to indicate left side electrode placement. Channels five through eight are marked with white outline to indicate right side electrode placement. Color-coded electrode leads connect to their respective color-coded channels. Two electrodes per channel are required. Certain tests may require fewer than eight channels.

PIM stimulation panel The NIM-Eclipse™ System provides stimulation suitable for peripheral, direct nerve and transcranial electrical motor evoked potentials (MEP). The stimulators are electrically isolated from the patient and the outputs are protected by both hardware and software fault detectors to ensure patient safety. Patient current is displayed for both constant current and constant voltage stimulation modes. The PIM stimulation panel contains the connections for probes and for transcranial motor evoked potentials (MEP) and train of four (TOF) electrodes.

Probe outputs These outputs connect to the Surgeon-Controlled Probe and electrified instruments. In both cases, a return electrode must be connected from the Stim Return connector to the patient. The Stim Control and Instrument output polarity is negative (-) and the Stim Return reference polarity is positive (+). The single use Surgeon-Controlled Probe with detachable tips allows remote adjustment of the stimulation current and control of the test through the user interface. The probe has two buttons for control, a multi-color LED indicator that provides test and status information and a buzzer for button press audio feedback. Note: Surgeon-Controlled Probe stimulation is automatically halted when ESU is detected by the ESU Mute Probe.

MEP Output The MEP output is used to deliver high current, biphasic, transcranial electrical stimulation to elicit motor evoked potentials at selected muscle sites. MEP parameters are defined in the Modality Settings Panel & the Stimulus Settings Panel. The MEP output connectors are specially keyed to accept only the MEP electrode. Open the online Setup Help feature to aid in the placement of electrodes.

TOF Output TOF (Train of Four) output is used for peripheral nerve stimulation to evoke a compound motor action potentials (CMAPs) at the innervated muscle. The TOF test is used as a measure of muscle relaxation to non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockade agents. TOF outputs are polarized. Position the (-) negative surface electrode distal (closer to the innervated muscle) and the (+) positive surface electrode approximately 1-2 centimeters proximal to the (-) negative surface electrode.

Pulse Oximeter The PIM will accept inputs from up to two (left and right) disposable pulse oximeter finger or toe sensors. The SD OPM accepts two Pulse Oximeter inputs. Each DPM only accepts a single Pulse Oximeter. When the pulse oximeters are used, oxygen saturation information is automatically measured and displayed. Oxygen saturation can be helpful to monitor for low blood flow in extremities due to effects of patient positioning. Note: The use of the Pulse Oximeter sensor with the NIM-Eclipse™ E4 System is not approved in Brazil or Canada.

Electro-Surgery Unit mute probe The MDP201/945MDP201 Electro-Surgery Unit (ESU) mute probe senses ESU activity and will stop stimulation and automatically mute the EMG speaker audio, preventing unwanted interference. Note: When the ESU mute probe is used and electrocautery is detected, stimulus triggered traces will not be collected. Clamp the ESU around only one output wire of the electrocautery and as close as possible to the interference generating device’s case. In some cases it may be necessary to loop the ESU wire around the probe twice. This technique will improve artifact detection. Connect the MDP201/945MDP201 cable connector to the controller rear panel connector labeled ESU Probe. When both monopolar and bipolar electrosurgery units are used, and are located near each other, the mute probe can be connected to both as follows: Separate the bipolar ESU leads sufficiently and clamp the mute probe around one lead only close to the ESU enclosure. Open the mute probe clamp and place the monopolar ESU lead as described above. Internal ESU detection sofware is available for use when you do not have access to the ESU mute probe. To access the internal ESU detection, open the speaker settings within any of the protocols to toggle the ESU detection. Note: ESU detection is not a default setting and must be enabled prior to the start of cautery.

Setting up Hardware

Connecting the system components The NIM-Eclipse™ System is a highly sensitive instrument capable of detecting microvolt level physiological activity. Every precaution is taken in the instrument design to reduce extraneous and unwanted interference due to electrical noise (motors, fluorescent lights, etc.) which may compromise data acquisition. This interference is characterized by an excessive line frequency signal present in the Live or Current Sweep display modes. Selection of a suitable installation site will minimize or eliminate this effect. The back panel of the Main Console has a power ON/OFF switch. This switch may be kept in the ON position, and the entire system activated from the Power Controller Unit On/Off switch. Note: Power must be applied to the System controller prior to applying power to the computer. If power to the controller is interrupted, be sure to sequence power on as described. Note: In the event the computer does not respond to keystrokes or mouse movements, press and hold the power button for 10 to 20 seconds to restart the system.

Connection guide The NIM-Eclipse™ System has connectors on the rear panel to interface to the PIM, ESU mute probe, and other devices. Connect the patient related peripherals as required for your application as shown in the diagram below. An optional mouse may be connected to the NIM-Eclipse™ System via the computer USB ports. To connect an optional printer to a laptop NIM-Eclipse™ System, a wireless connection such as Bluetooth™* or WiFi™* must be used. If a desktop system is used, the optional printer may be connected via USB. If a desktop computer is used instead of a notebook computer as shown, plug the Power Controller Unit into the Hospital Grade Receptacle, then plug the NIM-Eclipse™ System components; including printer, monitor, and other similar connected accessories; into the Power Controller Unit. Only the Power Controller Unit should be connected to a Hospital Grade Receptacle as it provides electrical isolation to the equipment. Do not bypass the Power Controller Unit by plugging these accessories directly into a wall outlet.

Patient Interface Module connection The PIM is connected to the Controller via a twenty-foot dual cable, enabling you to place the Controller at some distance from the patient. Connect the PIM interface cable connectors to the Preamplifier “A” and Stimulator connectors of the NIM-Eclipse™ System Controller.
