Nevro or Nuvectra

[anonymous]

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM; Every SCS company has a problem with long term implanted success rates. Every successful trial is not a long-term successful implant. Nevro has demonstrated superiority, but 20%+ of patients in the Nevro arm of the Senza RCT at 2 years were at less than 50% pain relief. Compare that to 50%+ failure rate (Kumar, North, Boston arm of Senza, SUNBURST) for predicate devices. I have yet to see any prospective, independly audited/controlled studies showing better than a 50% failure rate for non-HF10 therapies.

The brilliant strategy is simple: support every case and do your job to promote good patient selection. Manage expectations.

Correction- Boston Scientific has long term success rate, there SCS therapy is a long term therapy

I clicked through the last 20 of these maude events - all I see are infection related or procedural related events. Not one related to the device or its efficacy.

Nice try, Nuvectra troll.

Keep trying.

nuvectra trolls should spend some time on maude looking at their own products

Why are there so many infections? That is a troubling list, don't care what the reason. Seems like they have a serious longer term problem.

He must be citing the Senza RCT - the only long-term, prospective study involving Boston Scientific with more than 13 patients reported at 12 months. 49% of their patients were doing well at 24 months which, if you're a BSX Marketer, magically becomes 100% once you discount the 51% of patients that weren't doing well by forgetting to include them in a BSX controlled analysis conducted by BSX scientists with BSX owned data and no independent oversight. Basically, magic. You know?

Does anyone know when Algovita is filing for M.R.I. approval? After they file, is it 180 days for FDA? Is it full body MRI they are going for?. Thanks in advance.

Whatever it is, it will be conditional approval. Conditional for Algovita means, the whole system can't be by the magnet lol. Seriously, is anyone using this thing?

MRI outcomes can be tricky. The test is whether or not the patient is getting >50% pain relief when they're laying in the MRI. If they can't sit still due to pain, the MRI outcome will be bad.

Thanks- it's refreshing to get a straight answer here

I keep looking but all I see are NVRO -kindly show me where Algovitas are being explanted. Thanks in advance. Also, does NVRO tell you not to return explanted devices? Why is that?

How is Nuvectra's VP of Sales? Is he moving the needle or just running up an expense account and having fun?

Imo Scott Drees and the sales force are first rate and the product is really distinguishing itself. It's only in 50 territories and is starting to take real share in some of them as Docs. are liking the product.

Really? Where is it? Haven't they been selling now for almost two years? Just not seeing their reps or product in any of my accounts. Their reps are asking about available jobs with us so I assumed they are not making any money
