摘要：
A system or device for stimulating nasal tissue of a subject, comprising: a stimulator comprising a stimulator probe comprising a nasal insertion prong； and a handheld stimulator body comprising a rechargeable power source and a control subsystem to control a stimulus to be delivered to the subject via the nasal insertion prong； and a base station to recharge the rechargeable power source, comprising one or more electrical contacts configured to connect to the stimulator body, wherein the stimulator probe is releasably connected to the stimulator body, and wherein the stimulator comprises a disabling mechanism that prevents stimulus delivery to the subject after at least one of a predetermined time from attachment of the stimulator probe, a predetermined number of treatment sessions, a predetermined duration of stimulus delivery, or reconnection of the stimulator probe to the stimulator body after being disconnected from the stimulator body. The disabling configuration prevents re-use of probes that may be unsanitary.
