About Diaphragm Pacing Systems
An Avery Diaphragm Pacing System is a surgically implanted phrenic nerve, or diaphragm, stimulator. It provides a far lower cost of care and a much higher quality of life for ventilator dependent patients with quadriplegia, central sleep apnea and diaphragm paralysis.
Avery Diaphragm Pacing Systems are the only diaphragm pacing system to have full premarket approval by the US FDA for adult and pediatric use. By using implanted radio-frequency receivers and external antennas, Avery Diaphragm Pacing Systems do not have percutaneous connectors which can result in chronic infections and ongoing wound management issues for caregivers.
