Unlike a mechanical ventilator, the NeuRx DPS™ provides a gentle, rhythmic, electrical stimulation to your diaphragm causing it to contract. A simple, minimally invasive outpatient procedure is used to implant the device’s four electrodes.

The result is:

• Decreased reliance on a ventilator
• Reduced risk of respiratory infections
• Increased day-to-day independence

In the NeuRx DPS™ clinical trial of 50 high-level SCI patients:

• 100% success rate in achieving tidal volumes in patients with intact phrenic nerve.
• 25 patients achieved full-time diaphragm pacing and eliminated the use of their ventilator.
• 33 patients now pace more than 12 hours per day and significantly reduce the time spent on their ventilator.

NeuRx DPS™ has enabled SCI patients to regain their sense of smell and taste, easily eat and speak and expand their mobility and transportation options.

A special, non-evasive, radiology study can be conducted to determine if your diaphragm is functioning well enough for you to benefit from the NeuRx DPS™.
