Instructions for Use
What's in the Box?
Your tVNS® R device comes with a starter pack that includes everything you need to start using your tVNS® device. We also offer special electrodes for sham stimulation or fMRI use for sale. Please contact us to order specialized accessories.
Research and Patient App
Your tVNS® R device gives you access to two apps: the tVNS® Research and tVNS® Patient app.
All technical parameters can easily be reprogrammed and wirelessly transmitted with the tVNS® Research app, allowing the researcher to try completely new stimulation protocols. In addition, you can collect and store technical and patient data.
The tVNS® Patient app automatically stores all technical data (stimulation parameters, time and duration of the stimulation etc.) and offers a questionnaire for patient feedback.
Support for Clinical Trials
We offer an individual adaptation of all parts for certain studies, e.g by changing the questionnaire in order to allow better feedback from the patient, or through the implementation of special stimulation parameters or technical ideas.
The tVNS® R device is defined as a device for investigational use. We can provide a CB report that proves the safety according to all medical device standards, in order to assist you with ethics approvals. So far, it has been accepted by all ethics committees.
In addition, we offer an international expert network and can direct any questions to experienced people around the world.
Triggered tVNS®
We offer a separate PC-based tVNS® manager software. This software enables reaction to outside trigger signals (e.g. ECG R-wave trigger generated by an external ECG system, transferred to a PC).
Thus, closed loop tVNS® or triggered tVNS® can be realized in a scientific setup.
Legacy and Hook Electrode
We offer two different types of electrode designs with our tVNS® devices:
The Hook Electrode (left) comes standard with all new tVNS® devices. It offers better fixation and usability during daily activities.
The Legacy Electrode (right) can be used if the patient has small ears or a special ear shape. The integrated slider allows for better adaption to the ear.
