AESCULAP, INC. MA057R AESCULAP

The sleep remote is an external device that is about the size of a cell phone and is used by the patient to activate the Inspire system before they go to sleep. The patient places the remote over the implanted IPG site, and uses push buttons on top of the programmer to: a.) turn the therapy ON or OFF, b.) temporarily suspend therapy, or c.) make adjustments to the stimulation strength (within limits set by the physician). The patient’s sleep remote also allows patients to check the status of the IPG battery. There are both visual and audio indicators that provide information on the IPG status (therapy ON/OFF, therapy paused, stimulation level and battery status). The Inspire sleep remote will only communicate with the Inspire IPG.
