END OF SERVICE
Device longevity is dependent on stimulation parameters, impedance,
duration of implant, and battery voltage. Higher stimulation parameters as
well as higher duty cycles affect the longevity of the device, making the
projection shorter. Additional information can be found in the VNS Therapy
Physician’s Manual.
FUNCTIONS OF THE MAGNET
On-demand Stimulation
• Programming is typically 0.25 mA more than Normal Mode output current.
• Apply or pass the magnet (with label-side of magnet facing chest) over
device for no more than 2 sec.
Inhibition
• Secure the magnet in place for > 65 secs with label-side of magnet facing
chest. When removed, stimulation will resume after one full off cycle
has elapsed.
Resetting
• The magnet is necessary to perform a reset with a programming wand if
necessary. See the VNS Therapy Physician’s Manual.
• It is recommended, except in cases of a medical emergency, that the
physician consult a LivaNova technical representative before a reset is
performed.
Daily Assessment of Generator Function
• Patients are instructed to swipe the magnet over the generator daily to
ensure that the device is working, particularly if they do not feel it or have no
voice change. The higher output current for the daily test enables the patient
to more readily detect the sensation caused by the stimulation.
Evaluating Magnet Mode Stimulation
• The Magnet Mode Diagnostics can be used to assess deliverability of the
magnet mode output current and the success of the initiation.
• The device retains detailed information on only the 50 most recent
activations but keeps count of all successful activations.
How to Replace the LivaNova Magnets
To order a new magnet, patients should contact their doctor. Doctors can
contact LivaNova at 1.866.332.1375 to order additional magnets for patients.
