The Neuromodulation Society of Australia & New Zealand
There has been a sudden change in requirement that requires significantly increased level of clinical evidence for the approval of updated Neurosurgical implantable pulse generators and leads. This will result in significant delay (up to 3 years at least) in gaining access to updated technologies for patients which can adversely impact their outcome. We believe that this is unreasonable given the proven safety and efficacy of spinal cord stimulation devices and the benefits of such devices in improving the lives of patients suffering from chronic pain.
Attached is a letter (I will place in comments) addressed to the Chair of the Medical Devices and Human Tissue Advisory Committee whereby A/Prof Marc Russo has requested a meeting to further discuss these requirements.
