NuVasive received FDA clearance for magnetic resonance imaging under certain conditions on patients treated with the MAGEC® growth modulation system.
Under the scan conditions defined, the system is expected to produce a maximum temperature rise of no more than 3.7 degrees Celsius after 15 minutes of continuous scanning.
MAGEC is the only magnetically-controlled growth modulation system cleared by FDA for the treatment of pediatric spinal deformity. In mid-3Q16, CMS granted a new technology add-on payment for magnetically-controlled growth rods.
