[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2768836"]From someone who is not involved in either side of the coin of spine hardware and implants, and works for one of the largest Neuro-monitoring companies in the country, I can tell you right now that Nuvasive is the laughing stock of the field. It is really unfortunate that they are putting completely inexperienced people behind a machine that is providing patient care. They blind the surgeons with $$$$ from professional interpretation billing fees, and make scrub techs or PAs place the horrible sticky pads that ARE NOT the industry standard. I can guarantee you when there is a bad outcome from a false negative the Nuvasive rep will be the first one to point fingers at the surgeon (since its a SURGEON DIRECTED system) and/or the person who they coheresed and slid them $50 to put on the sticky pads. I have seen Nuvasive "techs" in action and I have unfortunately seen what they bill for their "MEP Kits", and I can understand why Hospitals and Insurance companies rape the accounts the way they do. I have also had the opportunity to discuss Neuromonitoring with someone who was a Nuvasive "tech", the lack of BASIC neuromonitoring principles, anatomy, and electronics was frightening. I truly feel horrible for any patient who has a surgeon relying on Nuvasive for quality monitoring. I have no information nor do I care about their implants, or any other companies implants. When you are a neuromonitoring tech/clinician, that is what you are, you shouldn't be selling hardware/implants/or concerned with anything else other than patient care and the data streaming to your machine. The surgeon's will catch on and unfortunately, it will probably be through a stream of false negatives coming through their clinic for radiculopathy, or when the patient awakes in PACU with a deficit...god help the patient and their families.[/QUOTE]
