Wireless sensors for nerve integrity monitoring systems

A sensor comprising:

• a base having,
• a plurality of electrodes each including a surface configured to (i) attach to an exterior surface of a patient and be removed from the exterior surface of the patient, and (ii) receive a first electromyographic signal regarding integrity of a nerve to a selected muscle based on a stimulation of the nerve within the patient;
• and
• a housing separate from the base having,
• a control module connected to the plurality of electrodes, wherein the control module is configured to (i) detect the first electromyographic signal and (ii) generate a first voltage signal based on the detected first electromyographic signal;
• and
• a physical layer module configured to:
• receive a synchronization request signal from a console interface module or a nerve integrity monitoring device,
• receive a payload request from the console interface module or the nerve integrity monitoring device, wherein the console interface module or the nerve integrity monitoring device is separate from the control module, and
• based on the payload request (i) upconvert the first voltage signal to a first radio frequency signal and (ii) wirelessly transmit the first radio frequency signal from the sensor to the console interface module or the nerve integrity monitoring device,
• wherein the housing is configured to house at least the physical layer module and the control module;
• wherein the base is configured to removably attach the plurality of electrodes to the patient;
• wherein the base is configured to removably attach to and carry the housing with connectors;
• and
• wherein the housing is reusable and the base is not reusable.
