The system, used to treat patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, includes the SenTiva implantable generator and a small tablet device used to program the device based on the patient’s treatment needs.
Sentiva can detect and treat seizures before they start, or stop seizures that have already begun by sending electrical impulses to the vagus nerve. The system also collects events commonly associated with seizures, such as heart rate variations or a patient’s body position.
