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 “pods which provides multi-modality simultaneous data acquisition which supports all data types useful in operating rooms, diagnostic laboratories, intensive care units, and epilepsy monitoring units. The unique pod 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 pods that are needed; repair of a single pod may easily be replaced without disabling the entire system; and advances in hardware designs may be implemented for a specific pod without requiring replacement of the entire system.
