GET A SENSE
OF WHAT’S POSSIBLE SEE DBS FROM 
A NEW PERSPECTIVE

Introducing the Percept™ PC DBS
neurostimulator with BrainSense™ technology for
Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia,
obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and epilepsy.
Stay Updated
Prof Andrea Kuhn

Percept PC with BrainSense technology is a game changer. With this technology, doctors could tailor therapy more precisely to the individual needs of each patient based on data from neuronal activity.

The idea of aDBS is to modulate delivery of DBS according to feedback - making it possible to reduce the side effects seen in continuous stimulation, and give better symptom control and energy savings.

Unprecedented Insights – Inside and Outside the Clinic

Deliver personalised, data-driven neurostimulation treatment with the only commercially available sensing technology in DBS.*

How It Works

  • Capture a patient’s brain signals while delivering stimulation using the implanted DBS lead
  • Correlate with stimulation and events capturing medication, symptoms, or side effects
  • Deliver personalised, data-driven treatment and adjust as patient needs evolve.

Expanded MRI Features:

  • Creates access to 70% of MRI scanners globally
  • Expands eligibility for current Medtronic DBS patients to include 3T MRI
  • Allows DBS therapy to be ON during an MRI scan using a bipolar therapy group

Adds full-body MRI eligibility for lead-only DBS systems

* Medtronic DBS systems are MR Conditional, which means they are safe for MRI scans only under certain conditions. If the conditions are not met, the MRI could cause tissue heating, especially at the implanted lead(s) in the brain, which may result in serious and permanent injury or death. Refer to the MRI Guidelines for Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation Systems for a complete list of conditions: http://professional.medtronic.com/mri
