Description
Medtronic 37800 Enterra II Programmable Neurostimulator for Gastric Electrical Stimulation
Part # 37800 Exp 2/19
The Medtronic 37800 Enterra II gastric neurostimulator is a programmable device that generates mild electrical pulses for gastric electrical stimulation to treat chronic, intractable nausea and vomiting due to gastroparesis.
This small, battery-powered gastric neurostimulator is implanted beneath the skin in the lower abdominal region. The neurostimulator generates controlled electrical pulses delivered by leads to the antrum portion of the stomach muscle wall. After implant, the clinician optimizes therapy for the patient with a clinician programmer.
The Medtronic Enterra Therapy System for gastric electrical stimulation (GES) is indicated for use in the treatment of chronic, intractable (drug refractory) nausea and vomiting secondary to gastroparesis of diabetic or idiopathic etiology in patients aged 18 to 70 years.
Medtronic 37800 Enterra II gastric Neurostimulator FEATURES
- The updated software for clinician programming of the device has clear, easily followed steps.
- Enterra II has no magnetic activation switch, reducing the possibility that electromagnetic interference unintentionally turns off therapy.
- An indicator alerts the clinician that the battery will soon need to be replaced for continued therapy.
- For the implant procedure, a new torque wrench ensures a secure connection between the device and leads.
CLEAR PROGRAMMING STEPS
Enterra II has new programming software with clear, streamlined steps.
PREDICTABLE BATTERY LIFE
Enterra II contains an accurate End-of-Service battery capacity indicator that allows use as long as possible without risking loss of therapy from unanticipated battery depletion. The indicator also allows the clinician and patient to know when it is time to schedule device replacement for continued therapy.
Estimated battery life is 5 to 10 years depending on how strong the stimulation must be to manage the patient’s condition.
In Perfect sealed condition but but past expiration date. Not for human use in the US.
Expiration dates have mostly to do with sterilization and not the integrity of the product. The manufacturers sterilize the products after they are packaged and it lasts so many years. The only products we caution customers about are ones that are absorbable or drug coated.
There is a $125 minimum order due to the cost of shipping. You can add items from different specialties it just needs to be $125 or more in order to complete the transaction.
