for Image-Guided Balloon Sinus Surgery
This website provides excerpts from our user manuals. It is important to consult the full system manuals for the most updated information.
The NuVent™ EM Sinus Dilation System is intended for use in sinus procedures when surgical navigation or image-guided surgery may be necessary to locate and move tissue, bone, or cartilaginous tissue surrounding the drainage pathways of the frontal, maxillary, and sphenoid sinuses.
The EM Sinus Dilation System is used in conjunction with the Medtronic computer-assisted surgery system.
The Medtronic computer-assisted surgery system and its associated applications are intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. Their use is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, can be identified relative to a CT- or MR-based model, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy.
The system and its associated applications should be used only as an adjunct for surgical guidance. They do not replace the surgeon's knowledge, expertise, or judgment.
