LivaNova PLC launched SenTiva DUO™, an implantable pulse generator (IPG) with a dual-pin header to provide VNS Therapy™ for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy. The dual-pin header distinguishes this latest IPG from the original SenTiva™, which is only available in a single-pin format. Now, with SenTiva DUO, patients considered “the pioneers of VNS Therapy” who were originally implanted with a dual-pin lead and IPG can receive the benefits of the latest VNS Therapy technology.

SenTiva DUO offers the same therapeutic benefits as SenTiva. Both provide stimulation in response to rapid heart rate increases, which may be associated with seizures; allow Day-Night Programming; offer Scheduled Programming; and log low heart rate and prone position events. SenTiva DUO received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is currently available in the United States.
