How does AspireSR work?

82% of patients with epilepsy experience rapid heart rate with a seizure.

Eighty-two percent (82%) of patients with epilepsy experience rapid heart rate increase associated with a seizure.2

How AspireSR works:

  • Detects rapid heart rate rise

  • Delivers automatic stimulation

  • Has customizable parameters to meet patients' needs

  • Works in conjuction with Normal and Magnet Mode

Learn how AspireSR® works in drug‐resistant epilepsy patients.

In AspireSR clinical trials, over 60% of seizures treated (n=46) ended during auto stimulation.3 For seizures that ended during stimulation (n=28), the closer stimulation was to seizure onset, the shorter the seizure duration.3
