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™ and SenTivaDUO™ detect and respond to rapid increases in heart rate, which may be associated with a seizure
In clinical trials, over 60% of seizures treated ended during automatic stimulation.
The closer the stimulation to seizure onset, the shorter the seizure duration.
VNS Therapy™ controls seizures in 3 ways
Normal Mode
Helps Prevent seizures
Stimulation is delivered at regular intervals all day, every day, to help prevent seizures
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 seizures
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 starts
