PROTECTING PATIENTS'
NERVES
AND SENSES IS
MORE THAN
VITAL
Your patients trust you to protect all that is vital to them during head and neck procedures. That means preserving laryngeal and facial nerve function and reducing the possibility of nerve palsy so quality of life is not compromised.1
NIM Vital™ is the next generation of nerve monitoring technology that gives you a strategic advantage* and greater confidence when monitoring nerve function.2** It advances nerve monitoring to inform your surgical strategy8 so patients can continue living fully and feeling deeply.

EXPERIENCE A QUIETER PROCEDURE
- Intelligent noise suppression reduces interference from electrical equipment‡
- Clinically relevant audible cues signal nerve functional status4
- Proprietary technology enables monitoring nerve condition through Medtronic Advanced Energy Device use5
A WIRELESS DESIGN REDUCES CONSTRAINTS
- Wireless patient interface and muting streamline the number of wires, reducing risk of tripping in the OR and simplifying setup/tear down
- Wireless console projection onto LCD screens means you can place NIM Vital™ anywhere in the OR
CREATING AN EFFICIENT WORKFLOW
- Touchscreen and streamlined user interface provides a more intuitive workflow6
- Smart troubleshooting pop-ups alert staff to systems issues and offer resolution protocols
- Enhanced remote content of critical settings from the surgical field
FUTURE FEATURES UNLOCKED WITH EASE
The NIM Vital™ product platform allows easy expansion to unlock additional future functionally, enabling use of nerve monitoring to help protect nerve condition and patients’ quality of life.1-3
FULLY MOBILE AND ERGONOMIC
NIM cart enhancements include industrial rolling wheels that move smoothly over cords and mats. An ergonomic handle makes it easy to transport the system.
MORE CONFIDENCE BETTER RESULTS
- Increased operative efficiency and precision7
- Reduces risk of intraoperative nerve damage3
