Mission driven. Patient focused.

With the complete Activa™ RC neurostimulator and SenSight™ directional lead system your patients benefit from:

  • 15-year battery service life and warranty†
  • 1.5 T full body MRI access‡
  • Support around the world in over 70 countries
  • The only directional lead optimized for sensing

Wireless recharger experience

Help your patients take charge with a wireless recharger that’s fast and easy to use, and providing more flexibility and customization than the legacy recharger system. The Activa™ RC neurostimulator and SenSight™ directional lead system  keeps therapy on with an altogether smarter experience that includes:

  • Wireless mobility while charging
  • Proprietary recharge algorithm to maintain safe temperatures
  • Exclusive companion recharge application

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.

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.
  • The 1-3-3-1 electrode configuration enables you to more precisely direct the stimulation.

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 Report for a complete list of conditions and instructions for use.
