•Small, portable, and silent, allowing for greater mobility and participation in social and educational activities.
•Shower, bathe, and participate in water therapy.
•Mechanical ventilation (MV) uses forced positive pressure (PPV) versus the Avery System which uses natural negative pressure (NPV) resulting in improved:
•Breathing and speech patterns.
•Eating, drinking, and sense of smell
•Circulatory function
•Pacing reduces hospital readmissions due to the lower risk of infections including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
•Fully implantable with no protruding wires which can result in chronic infection risk necessitating on-going wound management care.
•Diaphragm pacing may for itself in less than a month by permitting discharge to a less costly environment.
•Covered by Medicare and most government and private insurance.
•Saves over $20,000 per year in ventilator-related expenses.
•Does not require the purchase of any specialized instrumentation or capital equipment.
•Avery provides technical support at no additional cost.
•50+ year unsurpassed record of safety and reliability.
•A dual redundant system ensuring no single-point failure results in complete loss of life support.
•A dual alarm system of audio and visual alerts.
•Circuitry that prevents direct current from being delivered to the nerve, which eliminates the possibility of nerve damage.
•Electrodes made up of 99.99% pure platinum for nerve contacts, which is superior to stainless steel.

The Avery Diaphragm Pacemaker is the vent-free answer for high Spinal Cord Injury, Congenital or Acquired Central Sleep Apnea and Diaphragm Paralysis from various etiologies.
The Avery Diaphragm Pacing System is indicated for persons who require chronic ventilatory support because of upper motor neuron respiratory muscle paralysis (RMP) or because of central alveolar hypoventilation (CAH) and whose remaining phrenic nerve, lung and diaphragm functions is sufficient to accommodate electrical stimulation.
