More on Nevro’s HFX iQ and Its Features
HFX iQ is the first and only SCS system with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. It combines high-frequency (10 kHz) therapy built on landmark evidence, using ongoing cloud data insights to provide personalized pain relief. HFX iQ has several key advantages, including an indication-specific HFX Algorithm for back and leg pain, non-surgical refractory back pain, painful diabetic neuropathy, and chronic upper limb and neck pain.
Also, HFX iQ combines clinical inputs, such as pain relief and pain score, with Quality of Life (QoL) inputs, such as pain medication and activity level changes, to provide an individualized program setting for each patient on its HFX App. HFX iQ can program both low-frequency and 10 kHz therapy. Nevro’s 10 kHz therapy has CE-marked labeling for all major SCS indications and outcomes beyond pain relief.
Additionally, HFX iQ received Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval in 2022.
