OBERLIN, Ohio, Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Synapse Biomedical (www.synapsebiomedical.com ) has been awarded a GSA Schedule 65IIA contract and is now certified to provide goods & services to the Federal government. Federal officials appreciate GSA Schedules as a means of procurement, knowing that companies on GSA Schedules have been qualified by the General Services Administration (GSA). Synapse Biomedical will place their novel NeuRx Diaphragm Pacing Systems (DPS) for use in both ALS and spinal cord injury (SCI)  on GSA Advantage!®, the government's electronic ordering system  www.gsaadvantage.gov .

"This schedule opens doors for our company to continue to help veterans and service VA hospitals," stated Anthony Ignagni, CEO Synapse Biomedical, "Our unique device, the NeuRx DPS, will allow many veterans with spinal cord injury to replace or reduce their need for mechanical ventilation and its use in ALS has been shown to provide a survival benefit."

The NeuRx DPS is an FDA approved device, under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) for use in patients with high spinal cord injury (SCI) as well as ALS patients with chronic hypo-ventilation. The device has implanted in over 1800 patients to-date and is offered in 27 countries.Dr. Onders, Interim-Chairman of Surgery & Remen Chair in Surgical Innovation at University Hospitals  of Cleveland and Professor of Surgery at Case Western Reserve University, stated, "DPS has consistently been shown to be safe and a preferred mode of breathing for SCI patients. Newer data shows the benefit of DPS in other respiratory compromised populations including Lou Gerhrig's disease (ALS)."
