DUBLIN, April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Inceptiv™ closed-loop rechargeable spinal cord stimulator (SCS) for the treatment of chronic pain. Inceptiv is the first Medtronic SCS device to offer a closed-loop feature that senses biological signals along the spinal cord and automatically adjusts stimulation in real time, keeping therapy in harmony with the motions of daily life.

Key Points: 
  • Inceptiv is the first Medtronic SCS device to offer a closed-loop feature that senses biological signals along the spinal cord and automatically adjusts stimulation in real time, keeping therapy in harmony with the motions of daily life.
  • Traditional fixed-output SCS devices deliver constant, mild electrical impulses that disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain.
  • Specialized circuitry and a proprietary algorithm detect ECAPs (Evoked Compound Action Potentials), signals generated by the spinal cord in response to electrical stimuli.
  • ECAPs are a direct measure of how much nerve tissue is activated in the spinal cord and can be used to inform real-time adjustments to stimulation.

ARTARMON, Australia, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Saluda Medical Pty Limited ("Saluda Medical"), a global medical device company revolutionizing the field of neuromodulation, announced the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has granted approval for a transitional pass-through (TPT) payment for the Evoke® SmartSCS™ System, under the Medicare hospital outpatient prospective payment system. "The Evoke® SCS System represents a substantial clinical improvement over existing technologies based on the data received from commenters", according to CY2023 OPPS/ASC Final Rule. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)-approved document also states, "We believe this RCT (EVOKE Study) comparison served to demonstrate substantial clinical improvement provided by the closed-loop system, differentiating it from open-loop systems typically described by existing device categories, thus supporting the creation of a new device category". The TPT payment, which will be effective for three years beginning January 1, 2023, is a mechanism created by CMS to increase patient access to new and innovative technology while allowing hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) to receive additional payment for the use of new technology.

Key Points: 
  • "The Evoke SCS System represents a substantial clinical improvement over existing technologies based on the data received from commenters", according to CY2023 OPPS/ASC Final Rule.
  • The TPT payment for the Evoke System will provide incremental Medicare reimbursement to providers beyond the established payment for the implantation of spinal cord stimulation devices.
  • CMS determined that the Evoke System met the TPT criteria based on the published EVOKE Study, the only double-blinded randomized control trial (RCT) in the spinal cord stimulation space.
  • The Evoke System received FDA approval earlier this year based on the landmark EVOKE Study which showed closed loop superiority over open-loop SCS in treating overall back and leg pain.
