Are there particularly short needle electrodes for children?

Yes, 532720 (6 mm) and 532722 (12 mm) are particularly suitable for children due to their particularly short needle lengths of 6 and 12 mm.

As a user, do I have to create my own measurement scenario or measurement protocol?

No. Each system has already more than 40 standard scenarios preinstalled for different application fields.

Can the C2 Xplore be integrated into the hospital network?

Yes, the C2 Xplore can be integrated into the hospital network via various wireless (Wi-Fi) and wired options for data exchange, for example via an HL7 interface.

Can the inomed Xpress be equipped with a video module (e.g. microscope video)?

Yes, it is possible to equip the Xpress with a video interface (item no.: 540013).

Can the position of the ISIS Xpert plus screen be changed?

Yes, the screen height can be adjusted hydraulically to suit the user. The screen can also be rotated approximately 180 degrees in both directions.

Does the C2 Xplore have a touchscreen display?

Yes, the C2 Xplore has a modern touchscreen display that also supports different gestures, such as screenshots or the drag & drop function.

Does the C2 Xplore have an integrated database?

Yes, the C2 Xplore has an integrated database. All IONM data and patient information is stored securely and can be accessed at any time.

How do I activate the active stimulation artifact suppression?

Open the setup window in the MEP window and activate the active stimulation artifact suppression under Stimulator Settings.

Is functional neurosurgery internationally recognized?

Yes, functional neurosurgery is internationally recognized and supported by leading professional associations worldwide, such as the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (WSSFN) and national professional associations. Clinical studies and the prove of efficacy for specific indications have contributed to its widespread acceptance.

Is it possible to choose different mounting positions?

Depending on the stereotactic ring used, up to six different mounting positions are possible. This allows the surgeons to select the appropriate approach that is as gentle as possible on the patients and offers flexibility in trajectory planning.

Is it possible to connect an external monitor to the C2 Xplore?

The C2 Xplore can be connected to an external monitor via a VGA interface on the back.

Is it possible to display the image of the surgical microscope on inomed Xpert and inomed Xpert plus?

Yes, the video module can be used to connect surgical microscopes to the Xpert and Xpert plus. The connection is realized via an SDI cable. The microscope image can then be displayed in the NeuroExplorer software.

Is it possible to mirror the screen on a tablet?

Yes, the inoView V2 app can be used to connect a tablet to the device and mirror the screen. The app can be used for comments, for example. The tablet can be packaged with a sterile cover and be used in the sterile field of the surgery.

Is it possible to record electromyography signals in parallel?

Yes, the ISIS MER systems can easily be equipped with up to two additional ISIS Headbox EMG modules for electromyo­graphy. This expands the option for parallel recording of up to 16 EMG or EEG signals.

Is the Laryngeal Electrode Select available in different sizes?

Yes. The electrode is available for tubes with an inner diameter of 6–7 mm (530855) and for tubes with an inner diameter of 7–9 mm (530856).

Is the ZD stereotactic system compatible with the inomed target point simulator?

The ZD stereotactic system is compatible with the inomed target point simulator. The combination with the inomed target point simulator increases safety in use. All patient-specific settings can be checked exactly before the intervention is started on the patients.

Is the inomed Xpress suitable for traveling?

The Xpress is stored in a handy trolley case the size of hand luggage, making it easy to transport when traveling by plane, train, bus or car.

What are the differences between inomed Xpert and inomed Xpert plus?

The differences are the equipment and the software packages included in the standard versions.

What is the maximum number of channels that can be recorded with the inomed Xpress?

The Xpress is available in 16 CH and 32 CH versions as standard. However, the system can be upgraded to 48 channels with an additional 16 CH module.

What role does stereotaxy play in functional neurosurgery?

Stereotaxy is a key technique in functional neurosurgery that enables precise interventions in the brain. The target region is precisely localized in three-dimensional space using modern imaging techniques such as MRI or CT and transferred to a stereotactic coordinate system. The intervention is then performed using a stereotactic system that ensures precise placement of the instruments.

Which cables do I need to connect reusable monopolar stimulation probes to the ISIS IOM systems?

Stimulation cable, cable length 4 m (520027),
stimulation adapter cable, cable length 0.7 m (520077) and

SDN electrode BK 15/1000, stainless steel (533627).

Which diseases are treated in functional neurosurgery?

Functional neurosurgery treats a variety of diseases that can be treated by targeted interventions in the nervous system. The most common indications include movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia, treatment-resistant epilepsy, chronic pain and, in exceptional cases, psychiatric illnesses such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Which electrode can be used for D-wave recording?

Electrode 530684 with two contacts or 530685 with three contacts.

Which head ring units can the target point simulator be combined with?

The inomed target point simulator (phantom) can be combined with all inomed head ring units, whether titanium ring or ceramic ring.

Which monitoring device is best suited for which application in neurosurgery?

For complex neurosurgical interventions, e.g. supra- and intraoperative tumor resections, neurovascular surgery, spinal cord tumors and spinal stabilization, a multimodal device from the IOM family is best suited. Depending on the working position and equipment, the inomed Xpert or inomed Xpert plus may be the best solution. As a portable version, the inomed Xpress is the first choice for flexible working at different locations.

For motor mapping and awake surgery with speech mapping, the C2 Xplore Cortical is the obvious choice as a compact device with a high level of user-friendliness.

Which stereotactic systems is the target point simulator compatible with?

The target point simulator is compatible with all inomed stereotactic systems, including SUSy and the RM stereotactic system (both not available in the US), as well as the ZD stereotactic system (available in the US).
