The NIM Vital™ nerve monitoring system stimulates nerves (propagates an action potential) through a variety of stimulation probes that causes the muscle associated with the nerve to contract. The system then picks up these electric signals from the muscles through a variety of electrodes and converts this information into meaningful graphs and sounds that the system displays on the monitor.

The NIM Vital™ system also continuously monitors EMG activity from the muscles innervated by the nerve at risk.

The NIM Vital™ system may be used for EMG monitoring in support of surgical procedures, including intracranial, extracranial, intratemporal, extratemporal, and surgeries associated with the neck, spine, thorax, and upper and lower extremities.¹
