AspireSR™ detects and responds to rapid increases in heart rate, which may be associated with a seizure1
In clinical trials, over 60% of seizures treated ended during automatic stimulation.
The closer the stimulation to seizure onset, the shorter the seizure duration2
VNS Therapy™ controls seizures in 3 ways
Preventative
Normal Mode
Helps prevent seizures by delivering treatment at regular intervals all day, every day1
Responsive*
AutoStim Mode
Helps stop or shorten a seizure by responding to a rapid increase in heart rate, a potential seizure biomarker1,3,4
*Only available in models 106, 1000, and 1000-D
On-Demand
Magnet Mode
Helps stop or shorten a seizure once it starts by passing the included VNS Therapy® Magnet over the generator1
Responsive VNS Therapy™ (AutoStim Mode) provides improvements in seizures control
Mean follow-up 13 months
p<0.001
59% reported ≥ 50% reduction in seizures
41% reported ≥ 80% reduction in seizures
Responsive VNS Therapy™ devices include Normal Mode, Magnet Mode, and AutoStim Mode. Conventional VNS Therapy devices include Normal Mode and Magnet Mode.
AspireSR™ is shown to improve quality of life2
Clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in overall QOL were seen at 3 months and continued to improve over time.
AspireSR™ - Advancing the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy
Provides the proven efficacy and safety of VNS Therapy
Detects and responds to ictal tachycardia in an effort to stop seizures spreading in the brain
May terminate seizures by delivering automatic stimulation when a seizure occurs
May reduce seizure duration and seizure severity and improve post-ictal recovery
Improves quality of life
