The remedē™ System is designed to stimulate the phrenic nerve to help restore a more natural breathing pattern at night which may allow for better oxygenation, less activation of the sympathetic nervous system, and improved sleep.

  • The remedēTM System Components

    The remedē System is an implantable medical device that is being investigated in a clinical research study for the treatment of Central Sleep Apnea in patients with Heart Failure.

    It consists of three implantable components:

    • remedē Pulse Generator comprised of electronic circuitry components and a battery, which are hermetically sealed in a titanium case
    • remedē Stimulation Lead that is implanted in a vein close to one of the phrenic nerves
    • And a sensing lead to detect respiration


    The remedē System also includes an external programmer used to change the pulse generator settings or to review diagnostic data via telemetry.

  • How Does the remedēTM System Work?

    The remedē pulse generator delivers electrical pulses via a transvenous stimulation lead positioned within a vein close to one of the phrenic nerves. The phrenic nerve stimulation results in restoration of breathing to a more natural pattern. A more natural pattern of breathing may allow for better oxygenation, less activation of the sympathetic nervous system, and improved sleep.

    The remedē System is designed to deliver electrical pulses at night during sleep to restore natural breathing.
