Unprecedented Insights — Inside and Outside of the Clinic

Personalise DBS therapy for your patients using objective data combined with event capturing.

Configure patient events using the patient programmer. Track events over time and correlate events with brain signals using the clinician programmer.

BrainSense™ Technology

The Percept™ PC device features BrainSense™ technology designed to capture brain signals (local field potential, or LFP) using the implanted DBS lead. These signals can be recorded simultaneously while delivering therapeutic stimulation, inside and outside the clinic.†  BrainSense™ technology delivers personalised insights into patient's symptom fluctuations which could help maximize ON-time.1-4

You can correlate these brain signals with stimulation and events capturing medication, symptoms, or side effects — to deliver personalized, data-driven treatment and adjust as patients' needs evolve.

Empower Your Patients

Easy-to-Adjust Stimulation Options

The DBS patient programmer is enhanced so patients can more easily and conveniently engage with their therapy.

Assign custom names to therapy groups so that patients can easily adjust and customize their therapy to their desired activities.

Digital Diary

Configure up to four custom events — such as medication adherence, side effects, and experiencing on/off state — that your patients can track digitally using the intuitive patient programmer.

The only 1.5T and 3T MR Conditional DBS System

The Percept™ PC device adds full-body 3T MRI eligibility§ for DBS patients, so they may benefit from the cutting-edge medical imaging when they need it. Plus, using a bipolar therapy group allows therapy to be ON during an MRI scan.5

Now clinicians can use MRI Eligibility workflow on the clinician programmer to check MRI eligibility, generate an eligibility report, and place a patient’s device into the appropriate state for an MRI exam.

Patients can use MRI Mode on their patient programmer for a streamlined path to conditionally safe MRI scans, without needing to visit the clinician managing their DBS therapy.

Expanded Access to MRI

The expanded MRI eligibility of the Percept™ PC device supports the most prevalent and fastest-growing MRI modalities.6

Estimated Global MRI Systems Market:

Chart showing that 3.0T is estimated to grow to 30% by 2023.

Engineered for Patient Comfort

Modern and Ergonomic

Percept™ PC device is smaller and thinner than the previous generation Activa™ PC device, and features a modern, ergonomic design — offering enhanced comfort for patients.7

Medtronic's Activa™ PC+S device received CE Mark on January 17, 2013, but was not commercially distributed.

Signals may not be present or measurable in all patients.

Clinical benefits of brain sensing have not been established.

§

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. Before having an MRI, always talk with the doctor who manages your DBS Therapy to determine your eligibility and discuss potential benefits and risks of MRI. For further information, please call Medtronic at +44 (0) 1923 205101.
