September 23, 2025 updated by: Medtronic

Product Surveillance Registry (PSR) - Nerve Integrity Monitoring (NIM) Vital Cohort

The purpose of this study is to confirm clinical safety and performance of Medtronic's NIM Vital™ System and accessories when used as intended in a real-world setting.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Ongoing clinical investigation for the purpose(s) of:

  • Providing continuing evaluation and periodic reporting of safety and effectiveness of Medtronic market-released products for their intended use
  • Obtaining real-world performance and safety information from a global network of hospitals, clinics, and clinicians intended to represent the range of clinical environments in which Medtronic products are used
  • Supporting post-market surveillance activities and post-approval studies that are initiated by Medtronic, regulated by local governments, or are conducted to fulfill government and/ or regulatory authority requests
  • Obtaining clinical evidence to guide the development and improvement of medical devices, therapies, device guidelines, and patient services/solutions
  • Providing clinical data to support health economics and clinical outcomes research

Enrollment for this study is ambispective, and subjects can be enrolled up to 60 days before or after the baseline procedure. There is no scheduled follow-up visit, however, if a reportable event occurs, patients will be followed until resolution or up to 6 months following the procedure. Total duration for study participants is anticipated to be 1 visit.
