Nerve monitor passes Real-World safety test in 205 surgeries
NCT ID NCT06637995
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study tracked 205 patients to see how well Medtronic's NIM Vital nerve monitoring system works and how safe it is during various surgeries. The device helps surgeons locate and monitor nerves to avoid damage. The study collected real-world data on complications and how often the device successfully monitored nerves.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nerve Integrity Monitoring (NIM) Vital System (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this confirms the device is safe and works well in real surgeries, supporting its continued use.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the device improves outcomes. Results may not apply to all surgery types.
