Hummingbird

Yes, Hummingbird EMG probes are universal and can be used on any EMG intraoperative nerve integrity monitoring system. The EMG probes deliver monopolar stimulation, use a standard DIN (42802) connector for easy set-up.

Hummingbird surgical kits include; a single-use monopolar EMG probe (with built-in lead wire with DIN connector) and a single white stim return needle electrode. Hummingbird probes are available in various styles to better suit the surgeon’s preference for a specific procedure. EMG Probes are universal in function and compatibility for nerve monitoring with evoked EMG .

No, all Hummingbird EMG probes are single-use, individually packaged and sterilized with the leadwire attached. Each EMG probe comes fully assembled and ready for immediate surgical use.

No, Hummingbird EMG probes are FDA-approved single-use devices. According to the FDA, a single-use device also referred to as a disposable device, is intended for use on one patient during a single procedure.

No, every Hummingbird EMG probe is individually packaged and sterilized. According to the FDA a single-use device, also referred to as a disposable device, is not intended to be reprocessed (i.e., cleaned and disinfected or sterilized). Do not use the stimulator probe if the original packaging is damaged.

Hummingbird EMG probes are commonly used in ENT procedures to identify the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and the facial nerve (CN VII), in tumor resections, cranial nerve stimulation, and tissue mapping to deliver evoked EMG. Hummingbird is an monopolar stimulator probe for IONM. The EMG probes are available in 3 tip designs with a 90 mm insulated shaft. Hummingbird EMG stimulation probes are a highly versatile, IONM device and can aid in identifying motor nerves at risk of injury during a surgical procedure.

Each Hummingbird EMG Probes is designed to accommodate the procedure and surgeon preference.

Tapered Tip Probe (TTP) is designed for precision and flexibility. The insulated shaft of TTP is engineered to pliable at the distal end, for improved positioning of the 0.5 mm tip.

Flush Tip Probe can be gently bent if needed but it should not be subjected to repeated flexing to avoid damaging the probe.

Direct Nerve and Ball Tip Probes are manufactured with a heavier gauge material and are not meant to be bent or flexed.
