Nevro Announces U.S. Full Market Launch of Revolutionary HFX iQ Spinal Cord Stimulation System to Personalize Treatment of Chronic Pain

Nevro Corp. a global medical device company that is delivering comprehensive, life-changing solutions for the treatment of chronic pain, announced that it has now initiated the U.S. full market launch of its HFX iQ spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system, following the completion of a successful limited market release.

“This is an exciting time in spinal cord stimulation — better waveforms, more conditions we can treat, and a massive treasure trove of patient data,” said Dr. Usman Latif, MD, MBA, a Harvard-trained interventional pain specialist who practices at the University of Kansas Medical Center. “The way forward in this field is precision medicine powered by big data and artificial intelligence. Our limitations are human in nature. What if we could take all the programming experience and clinical outcomes of tens of thousands of patients across the country, including what programs worked and what didn’t, and bring the power of all that knowledge into the palm of our patient’s hand — with them 24/7, monitoring them, and offering them the best program for their exact situation with a tap on the screen. HFX iQ is the future of medicine, where expanded data holds the promise of new capabilities and improved care.”

HFX iQ starts patients on the program most likely to provide pain relief, based on the HFX Algorithm, which was built from more than 20 million datapoints and 80,000 implanted patients.¹ HFX iQ combines clinical inputs, such as pain relief and pain score, along with Quality of Life inputs, such as pain medication and activity level changes, to provide an individualized program setting for each patient.² It offers both low frequency and the company’s proprietary high-frequency 10 kHz Therapy, which represents the widest range of frequencies of any SCS system on the market. The superior Senza® high-frequency 10 kHz Therapy has been validated in both clinical and real-world outcomes and offers unique AI-driven iQ modes specifically for treating painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) and chronic back and leg pain, including non-surgical back pain (NSBP).

“We are continuing to lead the way with the first big data-backed, AI-powered SCS system that gets smarter over time, learning from patient responses to deliver personalized relief to patients,” said D. Keith Grossman, Chairman, CEO and President of Nevro. “With over 10 years of innovation and now over 100,000 patients served, Nevro brings the next big advancement to SCS therapy with HFX iQ, a system that will apply the big data we have collected over the last decade to help patients find pain relief faster, and maintain that relief over time. We believe that what we’re doing with HFX iQ is the future of SCS therapy, and keeps Nevro firmly at the forefront of innovation, as we continue to work with our clinicians to bring new technology, new data and new indications to their patients.”
