FDA has Approved Respiratory Stimulation System

NeuRx DPS RA/4 Respiratory Stimulation System is a new implanted medical device on the market and a good example of how medical device can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions. This system was used by Christopher Reeves to breath without use of his respirator. The FDA approved the device under a Humanitarian Device Exemption, for conditions that affect fewer than 4,000 people a year. FDA announcement
