Inspire
The sensing lead incorporates a differential pressure sensor that detects respiratory cycles. The connector end of the lead is connected to the IPG. The sensor is implanted in between the intercostal muscle layers. The device senses relative pressure variations that correspond to the respiration cycle. The pressure waveform is monitored by the IPG and triggers stimulation therapy synchronous with inspiration
Details
Device typeAntiseizure/psychiatric-therapy vagus nerve implantable electrical stimulation system: An assembly of battery-powered devices intended to apply periodic electrical stimuli to the vagus nerve to help control seizures and/or to help treat psychiatric disorder symptoms (e.g., depression). The vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is provided through an implantable pulse generator, typically placed in the anterior chest wall, and leads that run subcutaneously to where their electrodes are implanted around the left vagus nerve. The system may be programmed externally following implantation.
