  1. Maria P. Gonzalez Puente Wentworth Institute of Technology ‘14 General Engineering (BSEN) Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Medical Devices

  2. Gastroparesis • Stomatch Disorder • Caused as a consequence of diabetes type 1 • It happens when the thevagus nerve stops working. • Causes Bacterial Overgrowth due to fermentation of remains. • Can be treated with Enterra a Neurostimulator by Medtronic. • Stimulates de Nerve with electrical impulses. • It’s a treatment not a solution for gastroparesis.

  3. Enterraby Medtronics • The neurostimulatorsends mild electrical pulses through the leads to stimulate the nerves and smooth muscles of the lower stomach • After the device is implanted, the doctor uses a handheld, external programmer to adjust the neurostimulator and customize the stimulation for each patient

  4. Product Features · Model 3116 · Size: 55 mm x 60 mm x 10 mm · Weight: 1.5 oz. (42 g) · Manufacture by: MEDTRONIC.

  5. Epilepsy • Epilepsy is caused by abnormalities in brain electrical activity. • The brain in unable to stop or inhibit electrical impulses between neurons. • When the electrical discarded happens the epileptic attack happens. • Treatment for this disorder is VNS Pulse Therapy by Cybertronics.

  6. VNS Pulse Therapy • VNS therapy can improve the sense of control in patients with epilepsy to live more normal lives. • The therapy includes a pacemaker-like device. • Placed on the chest and neck just under the skin. • The device works continually by sending small electrical impulses to the vagus nerve in the neck.

  7. Model: • 103 Generator • (For new patients) • Weight: 16 grams • Longevity: 6+ years • Manufactured by : • Cybertronics
