THYMATRON
ECT
In 1938 the first patient ever to receive ECT made a full recovery. Now, nearly 90 years later, ECT remains an established treatment for severe depression. The Thymatron device is an FDA-cleared medical device intended to treat catatonia or a severe major depressive episode associated with major depressive or bipolar disorder in patients age 13 years and older who are treatment-resistant or who require a rapid treatment response (Device class II).
SAFETY AND EFFICACY
The guiding principle of the Thymatron's design – from its overall architecture to the specific choice of each component – is patient safety. You can be confident that the Thymatron, with its redundant levels of protection and continuous output monitoring, will operate safely and accurately throughout its lifespan. Feel free to reach out to Somatics for more details about the safety profile of the device's design.
Several proprietary algorithmic methods in the Thymatron instrument automatically provide optimal stimulus delivery, seizure quality analysis, and seizure endpoint determination.
BENEFITS OF THE THYMATRON
For the ECT practitioner, the Thymatron offers unmatched efficiency and reliability.
Streamlined operation coupled with highly effective built-in programs – including brief and ultra-brief pulse widths – makes treatment as simple as: Set Dose, Test Impedance, Treat
Somatics provides two software suites for use with the Thymatron at no additional charge. These provide real-time trace monitoring, patient and treatment organization, PDF generation, and an interface to medical records systems, including Epic, Cerner, Rhapsody, Mirth, Corepoint, and others.
