Finding The Right Epilepsy Monitor
The Epilepsy Monitors Te Wana Ltd supply do not actually detect Epilepsy. They detect sudden physiological and vital signs changes, associated with seizure activity. To identify the right Epilepsy Monitor for you, you need to be able to describe how a seizure presents itself for you or the person you care about.
Each person’s seizures tend to be unique to them and you/they may well go through stages or phases in the seizures presentation. Here are some of the signs of a seizure that can be identified and alerted through Te Wana Ltd’s Epilepsy Monitors.
- Shaking – associated with a Tonic-Clonic seizure
- Raised heart rates during a seizure
- Enuresis resulting from a seizure
- Coming soon – Shouting out (audible sounds during the early phases of a seizure)
- Coming soon – Vomiting resulting from a seizure
- Coming soon – Changes in breathing – alerts generated if briefing stops briefly during a seizure
It is critical that you call Te Wana Ltd on 021 418 067 or email info@TeWanaLtd.co.nz and talk through how the seizure presents itself so that they can help you find the right Epilepsy Monitor. There is a degree of trialling, tweaking and adjusting, which is why Te Wana offer full support to set up the Epilepsy Monitor. Sometimes it is a challenge to find the right monitor no matter how much you tweak and refine the monitor you have, which is why Te Wana Ltd offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee.
