Arms Assigned Interventions
Implanted Device: Experimental Device: rechargeable TANTALUS II
Subjects will undergo an approximately two week baseline screening process. Eligible subjects will undergo device implantation. This will be followed by therapy initiation approximately one week after implantation. The device will then be activated to automatically deliver gastric contractility modulating (GCM) for 12 weeks of therapy. Stimulation will continue in for a safety monitoring period of 18 months following the therapy period.

Detailed Description:

This is a prospective multi center, non-randomized, treatment only clinical trial with up to thirty (30) obese with type 2 diabetes subjects. The study is designed to demonstrate that use of the rechargeable TANTALUS II IPG is safe and that it functions as designed. Subjects will undergo an approximately two week baseline screening process. Eligible subjects will undergo device implantation. This will be followed by therapy initiation approximately one week after implantation. The device will then be activated to automatically deliver gastric contractility modulating (GCM) for 12 weeks of therapy.

Stimulation will continue in for a safety monitoring period of 18 months following the therapy period.
