Gastric Electrical Stimulation
The EnterraTM 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.
Enterra II has new programming software with clear, streamlined steps. For programming demonstrations and training, contact your Medtronic representative.
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.1 Tables for estimating and monitoring battery longevity are in the Enterra II Neurostimulator Model 37800 Implant Manual.
New design features make Enterra II more compatible than Enterra model 3116 with electromagnetic interference.
Information about electromagnetic interference is in the Medtronic Enterra Therapy Information for Prescribers.
