Timeline
Interventions
The Vercise™ DBS System includes a Stimulator with DBS Leads for unilateral or bilateral stimulation. There are also DBS Extensions that allow the DBS Leads mounted in the skull to be extended to reach the Stimulator implanted near the clavicle. The rechargeable Vercise DBS System utilizes current steering across eight contacts per DBS Lead to provide precise positioning of stimulation. The Stimulator is controlled by a handheld Remote Control, and can be interfaced with a Clinician's Programmer using the Bionic Navigator™ Software. Periodically, the Stimulator battery must be replenished with an RF (radiofrequency) charging device provided in the Patient DBS Charging Kit.
