AMI LIFE: a neuromuscular electrostimulation device for treating dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). Price includes: 1x Somnus sleep aid device, 2x ear clips, 1x cable, 1x USB charging cable
Ami Life is a modern medical device for the treatment and rehabilitation of dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). Developed as part of the Globus product family, it is a CE-certified medical device.
The Ami Life device is compact (160×99×35.4 mm) and lightweight (404 g). It features four independent channels for electrostimulation, operating at 0–20 mA. The stimulation waveform is rectangular, biphasic, symmetric, and compensated, with a frequency range of 1–80 Hz and pulse widths of 80–260 µs.
Ami Life is primarily designed for patients with swallowing difficulties. It is recommended for complications of neurological and muscular disorders, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, respiratory diseases, iatrogenic conditions, and fibrosis/stenosis caused by radiotherapy. It is particularly effective post-stroke, for dysphagia following intubation, and after head or neck injuries.
For therapists, Ami Life offers precise, well-documented treatments with adjustable and trackable stimulation parameters. Built-in programs include sensory (120 µs, 80 Hz), sensorimotor (200 µs, 80 Hz), and motor (260 µs, 80 Hz) protocols optimized for various therapeutic goals. The device stores data from the last ten treatments for easy monitoring.
Ami Life provides comfortable and safe therapy. Battery-powered and portable, it can be used at home under medical supervision. Treatments are non-invasive and cause minimal discomfort when parameters are set correctly, helping restore swallowing function, improve quality of life, and reduce dysphagia-related risks.
During therapy, electrodes are placed on the front of the neck and face to stimulate muscles and nerves involved in swallowing.
Proper electrode placement is critical. The user manual provides detailed guidance and illustrations for correct positioning relative to the jawline, hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage, and cricoid cartilage. Symmetry must be maintained both laterally and along the midline.
Before use, clean the skin thoroughly. Apply electrodes only to intact, clean, dry skin. Ensure adequate electrode adhesion before starting. Gradually increase stimulation intensity while monitoring patient response. Treatment duration and frequency depend on patient condition and therapeutic goals.
Ami Life enables documentation and tracking of treatments. It stores data from the last ten sessions and allows saving custom programs, aiding therapy evaluation and protocol refinement.
Ami Life plays a vital role in modern rehabilitation, providing effective therapy for patients less responsive to traditional methods. It is especially valuable when restoring swallowing function is crucial to quality of life.
Clinical studies support the device’s efficacy, particularly in post-stroke dysphagia. Properly applied electrostimulation significantly improves swallowing function and reduces dysphagia complications.
Ami Life is under continuous development, with ongoing optimizations and new features based on user feedback. Future enhancements may include refined treatment protocols and new therapeutic applications.
Ami Life is a complex, versatile medical device offering significant support for dysphagia therapy. With correct use and adherence to safety guidelines, it is an effective tool for professionals and patients in rehabilitation.
