Device Description
The Boston Scientific Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) System provides a reversible therapy
where structures in the brain are stimulated with small electrical pulses. A Boston Scientific DBS
System utilizes current steering (also known as multiple independent current control or MICC)
across 8 Contacts per DBS Lead to provide precise positioning of stimulation. The implantable
components of the Boston Scientific DBS System include the following:
•
An Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) that is either rechargeable or non‑rechargeable.
The IPG is also referred to as a Stimulator.
-
•
Leads that deliver electrical pulses to the brain.
•
Lead Extensions that connect the Leads to the IPG.
•
A Lead Boot to protect the proximal end of the Lead between surgeries.
•
Sutures Sleeves to protect the Lead and/or to anchor the Leads and Lead Extensions.
•
Port Plugs for unused IPG or Lead Extension ports.
•
The Boston Scientific SureTek
The non‑implantable components of the Boston Scientific DBS System include the following:
•
An External Trial Stimulator (ETS), an ETS Adapter, and O.R. Cables that may be used
for intraoperative testing.
•
A Clinician Programmer (CP) that is used to set and adjust stimulation parameters.
A Pairing Magnet is used to facilitate first‑time pairing between a Vercise Genus
-
IPG and CP and/or Remote Control.
A Programming Wand is used to connect the CP to Vercise Gevia and
-
Vercise PC IPGs.
•
A Tunneling Tool that is used to create a subcutaneous tunnel for the Leads and
Lead Extensions.
•
External patient devices, such as the Remote Control that is used to communicate with
the IPG, and a Charging System to recharge the battery of rechargeable IPGs.
The Charging System is only applicable for rechargeable IPGs.
-
Note: The DBS System components were not made with natural latex.
Burr Hole Cover that may be used to anchor the Leads.
