Microelectrode Recording (MER) system

Inomed ISIS MER – The most compact and intuitive MER system available

Deep brain recording and stimulation or extracellular recording in other regions of the brain is potentially a high-risk intervention requiring a precise and systematic approach. The ISIS MER system is a self-contained, microelectrode recording system that provides all of the hardware and software elements necessary for targeted measurement in MER and neuromodulation  techniques. The ISIS MER system can be configured for a wide range of applications and is designed to be easy and intuitive to use.

ISIS MER System: Modularity in neurosurgery

The portable ISIS MER system comprises all the equipment the neurosurgeon will need in one box: ISIS MER USB Headbox module for microelectrode recording and ISIS EMG USB Headbox module for electromyography. The system includes a high specification Notebook computer and medical grade power supply. The MER system carry case includes space for the high-precision inomed MicroDrive and sterilization box. The ISIS MER system also includes a small yet powerful and portable workstation for the OR.

Within the cart configuration, the system also includes a wide-screen monitor with an easy-to-clean surface and optional touchscreen operation. A high-performance speaker system and laser printer complete the cart configuration. The cart also benefits from additional space for accessories.

The intuitive interface of the ISIS MER Headbox ensures that both the surgeon and the operator of the MER system can see the electrode depth at all times throughout the procedure. This is critical to target localization during deep brain stimulation or when measuring local field potentials. Easy access to this information is also vital to ensuring accurate and safe procedures.

Hightech Systems combine to deliver the ultimate MER

The ISIS MER system has an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface. This means that the surgeon and the MER operator can focus on the procedure and patient during the critical recording and stimulation phases of the procedure.

System integration with the inomed MicroDrive and the micro-macro electrodes delivers seamless performance. The design is stunningly simple. This means that only one plug-in connection is required per electrode. Switching between recoding and stimulation for a given electrode/channel is very simple – internal computer-controlled switching means there is no need to swap cables from recording to stimulation. All raw signal information is recorded for each channel used and signal filtering is an online function of the software. This results in the complete signal spectrum being recorded and available for post-operative investigation and intra-operative display.

Description

Microelectrode Recording (MER) System

At Brain and Spine HealthCare Pvt. Ltd., we proudly present the Microelectrode Recording (MER) System, a cutting-edge tool designed for precision and reliability in functional neurosurgery. This advanced system enhances surgical outcomes by providing real-time neurophysiological feedback, enabling accurate targeting of deep brain structures during procedures like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

What is the MER System?

The Microelectrode Recording (MER) System is a specialized neurophysiological tool that captures electrical activity from individual neurons in the brain. By recording and analyzing neuronal signals, it helps neurosurgeons identify specific brain regions, ensuring precise electrode placement during complex procedures.

Key Features of the MER System

  1. High-Resolution Neural Signal Recording
    • Captures electrical activity at the single-neuron level.
    • Ensures accurate localization of target brain areas.
  2. Real-Time Feedback
    • Provides immediate neurophysiological data to guide surgical decisions.
    • Enhances precision in targeting motor and sensory pathways.
  3. Advanced Signal Processing
    • Filters and amplifies neuronal signals for clear and accurate analysis.
    • Supports multi-channel recordings for comprehensive mapping.
  4. Seamless Integration
    • Compatible with imaging modalities such as MRI and CT for precise guidance.
    • Works in conjunction with stereotactic systems and DBS frames.
  5. Ergonomic and User-Friendly Design
    • Compact system with intuitive controls for ease of use in the operating room.
    • Includes high-quality microelectrodes and accessories for various surgical needs.

Applications of the MER System

The MER system is essential in:

  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS):
    • Ensures precise placement of electrodes in the subthalamic nucleus, globus pallidus, or other target areas.
  • Functional Neurosurgery:
    • Identifies and maps brain regions responsible for motor, sensory, or cognitive functions.
  • Parkinson’s Disease Treatment:
    • Guides DBS placement to alleviate motor symptoms effectively.
  • Research and Diagnostics:
    • Provides valuable data for studying brain function and neurological disorders.

Benefits of the MER System

  • Exceptional Accuracy: Ensures optimal targeting of deep brain structures.
  • Enhanced Patient Safety: Reduces the risk of complications during neurosurgical procedures.
  • Improved Surgical Outcomes: Supports precise and effective treatments for neurological conditions.
  • Versatility: Applicable across a wide range of neurosurgical and research settings.

Our Commitment to Advancing Neurosurgery
