SenTiva® and Next-Generation Programming System

SenTiva is an implantable and programmable pulse generator for treatment of refractory epilepsy. It provides responsive stimulation to rapid increases in heart rate that may be associated with seizures, allows day-night programming, scheduled programming and logging of low heart rate and prone position events.

New features for treatment customization and patient management
Wireless connectivity between programmer and wand
Intuitive workflow and programming interface
SenTiva™ detects and responds to rapid increases in heart rate that may be associated with a seizure

SenTiva™ and SenTivaDUO™ detect and respond 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

Normal Mode - Preventative

Normal Mode

Helps Prevent seizures

Stimulation is delivered at regular intervals all day, every day, to help prevent seizures1

Responsive* AutoStim Mode

AutoStim Mode

Responds to rapid increases in heart rate*

An extra dose of therapy is automatically delivered at the sign of a rapid increase in heart rate, which may be associated with seizures1,3,4

*Only available in models 106, 1000, and 1000-D

On-Demand Magnet Mode

Magnet Mode

Delivers On-Demand Treatment

Stimulation is manually delivered by swiping the included VNS Therapy™  magnet over the generator to help stop or shorten a seizure once it starts1

Responsive VNS Therapy* may provide additional seizure reduction

VNS Therapy™ with AutoStim can provide improvements in seizures control

Epilepsy (US)  – The VNS Therapy™ System is indicated for use as an adjunctive therapy in reducing the frequency of seizures in patients 4 years of age and older with partial onset seizures that are refractory to antiepileptic medications. Incidence of adverse events following stimulation (>5%) were voice alteration, increased coughing, hoarseness, shortness of breath, sore throat and nausea. Infection is the most common adverse side effect of the surgical procedure. See important safety information at VNSTherapy.com/safety
