Seizure Notification
On the Hub screen, a dialog shows the time and date of the potential seizure detection. The screen shows if the detection was due to motion or a heart rate change,as well asthe current sensitivity setting(Figure 16 and Figure 17).
8.1. Confirmingor Denying a Seizure Notification
On the touch screen, press either YESor NO.
If YES is selected, the seizure will be added to the seizure log. The software opens the seizure
log and displays all confirmed seizure events from the past monthof system use (refer to Using the Hub Software section).
If NO is selected, the software returns to the previously displayed screen.
Note: The timestamp of the seizure that gets logged in the Seizure Log is the time of your
confirmation, not the initial notification time.
Seizure monitoringwill resume as soon as either YESor NOis selected. If a response is not provided after 10 minutes, the System resumes monitoring and the notification remains on the Hub screen (until a new seizure notification occurs). Seizures can be manually added or deleted from the log at any time (see “Adding Seizures to the Log” or “Removing Seizures from the Log” for more details).
8.2. Adjusting Seizure Notification Sensitivity
If the System is providing too many or too few notifications, the system sensitivity can be changed for heart rate and/or motion(see “Seizure Detection Settings” for more details).

11.2. Sensor
This button is used to temporarily pause or discontinue (stop) seizure monitoring.See “Pausing or Stopping Monitoring” for more details.
11.3. SeizureLog
The system detects and notifies you of potential seizure activity based on changesin heart rate ormovement.
Once confirmed, these seizures are maintained in an electronic log, which you can review at any time(Figure 26). The log is intended to help you track the frequency and trendsin seizure activity. Also, it can be shared with your healthcare provider (see “Generating and Exporting Reports” for more details).
Figure 26: Sample Seizure Log
The log contains confirmed and manually entered seizures. See “Acknowledging Seizure Notifications” for more details.
Each seizurein the log contains the following information:
The time and date of the seizure
CONTROLLED COPY CREATED: 3/21/2014 4:59:41 PM

An icon in the Status column that indicates whether the seizure was detected by the System
andConfirmed ( ) or manually entered( ).
For System detected seizures, an icon in the Attribute column indicates whether the detection
was due to a heart rate change ( ) or motion ( ). If the seizure was manually entered by the user, N/A will appear.
11.3.1. Navigating the Seizure Log
Seizures are grouped by date. To scroll through the log, touch the screen and drag the page up or down. Pressing the Time header changes the sorting to show the most recent seizure at either the top or bottom of the list.
11.3.2. Adding Seizures to the Log
The ProGuardian System is capable of detecting many, but not all seizures. For example, if a seizure is not associated with a heart rate change or a detectable change in motion, it will not automatically be detected by the ProGuardian System. An additional feature is the ability to expand the use of the ProGuardianseizure log bymanually recording seizures experienced outside of active monitoring. In
these cases, you can manually add seizures to the log by selecting the plus icon ( ) at the upper right corner of the Seizure Log screen. This opens the Add New Seizure dialog where youcan supply the date and time of the event(Figure 27).

Figure 35: Settings Menu
11.6.1. Seizure Detection Settings
It is recommended that you configure the seizure detection settings to give the best results for the sensor wearer. The System identifies changes in heart rate or motion as potential seizures events.
Note:Changes can only be made during system use while the Sensor is actively monitoring.
Note: The default for both sensitivity settings is 4 (range 1-7).
CONTROLLED COPY CREATED: 3/21/2014 4:59:41 PM
33
Getting the Best Results for the Sensor Wearer:
1. Use the device with default seizure detection settings at 4 until you are comfortable evaluating
if the System is giving you too few or too many seizure notifications.
2. If you are getting too few or too many seizure notifications, adjust the seizure detection
settings.
Adjusting the seizure detection settings:
1. Select “Seizure Detection” on the Settings menu.
2. Choose a number to increase or decrease the sensitivity for motion or heart rate.
Higher numbers (5, 6, or 7) make the system more sensitive, and increase the chance of a
seizure notification.
Lower numbers (1, 2, or 3) make the system less sensitive, and decrease the chance of a
seizure notification.
Note: To help you determine the best setting, both sensitivity controls display the number
of associated “Denied” detections since the last sensitivity setting change (Figure 36).
3. Press Save.
Figure 36: Configuring Seizure Detection Settings
What if I feel seizures are being under-reported?
1. Increase the sensitivity settings for both the heart rate and motion controls by selecting a
higher number.
2. Press Save and the Hub will program the Sensor.
3. Use the ProGuardian System for a few nights and then repeat these steps as needed. Once
the System begins detecting seizures, it can be determined which signals (motion and/or heart rate change) are associated with the sensor wearer’s type of seizure.
CONTROLLED COPY CREATED: 3/21/2014 4:59:41 PM
34
Note: While increasing sensitivity may improve the chance of detecting seizure activity, it may
also give morefalse notifications. Only you can decide what is best for your individual situation.
What if I feel seizures are being over-reported?
1. Decrease either the “Heartbeat Sensitivity” or “Motion Sensitivity” setting by selecting a lower
number. To determine which setting to change, you may select the setting with the greater number of “Denied” potential seizure detections (Figure 36).
2. Press Save and the Hub will program the Sensor.
3. Use the ProGuardian System for a few nights and then repeat these steps as needed.
Note:Cyberonics recommends trying the new setting until additional seizures or notifications not
associated to a seizureoccur, and then repeating the process as needed.
Note:Changes can only be made during system use while the Sensor is in range of the Hub.
