CARDIOFIT™ SYSTEM
BioControl Medical develops implantable devices that apply electrical stimulation technology. The CardioFit system consists of an electro-stimulator device with a nerve cuff electrode and an intra-cardiac electrogram (EGM) sensor. By continuously monitoring the EGM signal, stimulation is adjusted to the patient’s optimal heart rate. The vagus nerve is stimulated through a propriety tri-polar cuff electrode that provides accurate control over specific nerve fibers, thus avoiding cross activation of undesired fibers. The device is implanted in a short, procedure in which the electrode is positioned around the vagus nerve in the neck and the device is placed in a subcutaneous pocket in the chest.
