Abstract

The invention provides an advanced, modular, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) system, referred to as a “NeuroNet-VII” System, which is the first IONM system designed with a USB hub architecture comprising serially-connected functional modules which provide multi-modality simultaneous data acquisition which support all data types useful in operating rooms, diagnostic laboratories, intensive care units, and epilepsy monitoring units. The unique module architecture makes the IONM system highly modular compared to current systems which typically place components in a limited number of centralized enclosures. The modular architecture of the invention also provides for real-time collection of data so that information may be communicated with a remotely-located physician; a user needs only to purchase modules that are needed; repair of a single module may easily be replaced without disabling the entire system; and advances in hardware designs may be implemented for a specific module without requiring replacement of the entire system.

Abstract

The present invention provides an advanced, modular, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring system, referred to as the "NeuroNet-VII" system, which is the first IONM system designed with a USB hub architecture comprising serially connected functional components, referred to as "pods," to provide multi-modality simultaneous data acquisition which supports all data types useful in operating rooms, diagnostic laboratories, intensive care units, and epilepsy monitoring units. The configuration of the pod architecture makes the system highly modular compared to current systems which typically place all components in a limited number of centralized enclosures. The modular architecture of the NeuroNet-VII system also provides that a user needs only to buy pods that are needed, a pod in need of repair does not disable the entire system but may easily be individually replaced; and advances in hardware designs may be implemented for a specific pod without requiring replacement of the entire system.
