ACTIVA™ RC DEVICE

15 Years of Continuous DBS Therapy with Activa™ RC

The Activa™ RC is a dual-channel, rechargeable neurostimulator for patients with high energy need and has a 15-year longevity.

The device is implanted in the chest or abdomen, connected to extensions and leads, which are implanted in the brain. The device delivers a controlled electrical pulse to precisely targeted areas of the brain.

The Activa™ RC system provides the ability to control the stimulation field with interleaved pulses and patient-specific therapy groups.

Indications:

  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Essential tremor
  • Dystonia

Meet the Refreshed Recharger Experience

Help your patients take charge with a wireless recharger that’s faster, easier to use, and provides more flexibility and customization than ever.

FASTER. SMARTER.  MORE FLEXIBLE.

The Activa™ RC recharger system is the next step in your patient’s smarter journey.

Activa™ RC Product Details

Proven Battery Performance

In 2009, when we launched the first rechargeable technology in the DBS market, we felt confident that our devices would provide predictable performance for up to nine years. This confidence was based largely on accelerated lab-testing.

Today, as part of our commitment to the Medtronic mission and to DBS therapy, we have invested in post-market analysis and continuous device testing to validate our predictive models, and confidently extend device service life from 9 to 15 years.

Programming Options

Establish programming groups that may allow patients to reach optimized settings sooner.

Achieve finer control over the stimulation field by delivering multiple programs per lead.

MR Conditional*

The Activa™ RC DBS system is ready for today’s imaging needs: Eligible patients with an Activa™ RC neurostimulator may have an MRI scan anywhere on the body under certain conditions.

Refer to the MRI Guidelines for Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation Systems and DBS MRI Eligibility Sheet for a complete list of conditions and instructions for use. 

ACTIVA™ SC DEVICE

ACTIVA™ SC INDICATIONS

The Activa™ SC  is a single-channel, non-rechargeable primary cell neurostimulator  for patients with moderate energy needs.

The device is implanted in the chest or abdomen, connected to an extension and lead, which are implanted in the brain. The device delivers a controlled electrical pulse to precisely targeted areas of the brain.

The Activa™ SC provides the ability to control the stimulation field with interleaved pulses and patient-specific therapy groups.

Indications:

  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Essential tremor
  • Dystonia

CLINICIAN AND PATIENT PROGRAMMERS

Clinician Programmer

For decades, we’ve taken DBS therapy further than anyone. And in support of our mission to improve patient lives, we’ve joined with clinicians to develop a programmer with the power to significantly enhance your DBS programmer interactions, to streamline your programming session with streamlined workflows, actionable insights, and patient-focused programming — so you and your DBS patients can experience an altogether smarter therapeutic journey.

INSIGHTFUL. INTUITIVE. STREAMLINED.

Secure, patient-focused programming, streamlined workflows, and actionable insights are more accessible than ever. 

Clinician Programmer

Activa™ Patient Programmer

The familiar interface of the DBS Activa™ patient programmer helps build confidence while enabling patients to manage their DBS therapy on a device that looks like a smartphone. They’ll appreciate the ease of use, and you’ll appreciate how simple the programmer is for patients to learn and use.

SIMPLE.  PERSONAL. SMART.

Optimize your patients' DBS therapy experience with the DBS patient programmer.

Medtronic DBS systems are MR Conditional and safe in the MR environment as long as certain conditions are met. If the conditions are not met, a significant risk is tissue lesions from component heating, especially at the lead electrodes, resulting in serious and permanent injury including coma, paralysis, or death. Refer to the MRI Guidelines for Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation Systems for a complete list of conditions.

Patients who had long charge times with 37651 Medtronic Implantable Neurostimulator Recharger (due to tilt, implant depth, and other challenges) have the opportunity to experience improvement with the wireless recharger.
