Nuvectra

Does anyone have any insight into where he will be based? Plano or Broomfield?

 

I heard Plano. He needs to break up the cult of personality Norbert built in Denver. Not necessarily staffing changes just bring a practical focus and some sensible direction. His top down, one way leadership style has been horroble for the company. They have lost so many great people because of one man its unbelievable.

 

While he may have been most directly responsible, those that kept him in power (indeed elevating him to CTO) are also culpable.

 

does the new CTO or head of R&D know what's needed for MRI approvals?

 

There is not a problem with the implant. Period. The implant is orders of magnitude more reliable than the PPC and charging paddle.

 

my dude, this fake news is older than drees's loafers. P130028 S022 was approved on 20SEP2018. "Approval for modifying the design of the Algovita Model 4200 Programmer Charger cable, and the Model 4230 Charging Paddle cable to improve the mechanical reliability (flex reliability) of the cables." Problem has been solved! Just like the holes in the tips of the leads. SOLVED!

 

Evidently so! P130028 S018 Head only approved 28NOV2018. Nice work Ben Tranchina!

 

Flexible paddles have always been a big problem. They were when ANS sold the old Renew line and continued on when the Eon IPG series had a flexible charging paddle. Not sure why Nuvectra didn't learn the lesson there given the number of ANS people that eventually made there way to that company.

 

How visible was Ben Tranchina at NANS? Seems quiet.

 

Definitely not as front and center as Joe Montana!!! He and wireless owned the NANS conference this year. Join the amazing SW wireless revolution, the leaders in all types of waveform stimulation.

 

what's old is new again...

 

Who?

 

Stenchwave you Dweeb

 

Ride the Wave with Hooters girls and physician speakers that have had their license suspended multiple times. Stimwave is where it is at.

 

Reading comprehension isn't your strength. All it says is the charging paddle's cable is more tolerant to flex IE being more resistant and having a longer life. It doesn't say the paddle is flexible.

 

Only the leadership team and folks in Plano at Nuvectra came from ANS. The engineering functions out of Cleveland, Broomfield, and Blaine was free of ANS people. Initial externals design was probably contracted out (which is typical) but doesn't explain why it took so long to get a new cable design. Maybe they are relatively cheap to replace so it wasn't a priority.

 

did stimwave hand out those adorably little video players again? pro-tip. You can change the video files through usb

 

What happened to Scott?
