The NeuroVision JJB System is intended to provide intraoperative electromyographic (EMGQG) surveillance to assist in the location of nerves during percutaneous surgery of the spine, by administration of brief electrical stimulus pulses to tissues and nerves at the operative site, and EMG monitoring of muscle groups associated with those nerves. The NeuroVision JJB Systcm is designed for use in conjunction with the NuVasive guided spinal arthroscopy system to assist in gaining controlled percutaneous access to the spinal nerve root, foramina, intervertebral disc, and surrounding tissues of the spine via uniportal or biportal posterior or posterolateral approach, where anatomical restrictions safely permit.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
