Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to confirm cardiac-based seizure detection in Cyberonics Model 106 VNS Therapy System.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The VNS Therapy System is an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of epilepsy. VNS Therapy is available as a scheduled stimulation, this is cyclic stimulation between programmable On- and Off- times (e.g., a 30-second burst every 5 minutes). VNS Therapy is also available as on-demand stimulation, that is, when a magnet is introduced briefly over the implanted device (Magnet Mode). The AspireSR VNS Therapy System includes a new feature, Automatic Magnet Mode or AutoStim. In addition to Normal Mode and Magnet Mode, AspireSR uses a Seizure Detection Algorithm to identify a potential seizure onset based on associated heart rate increases known as ictal tachycardia. The purpose is to deliver stimulation at or near the onset of a seizure.
