Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder has been granted special Humanitarian Device Exemption status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. There are a limited number of centers in the U.S. where the therapy is offered as each center must seek approval for the procedure. The physicians at approved centers are not employed or compensated by Medtronic, and Medtronic does not provide any assurances or guarantees with respect to their service. We provide this information for your convenience, but it is, of course, your responsibility to select a physician appropriate to your needs. Your present physician and a county or state medical society are also sources you may wish to consider for physician referral information.
Humanitarian Device: The effectiveness of this device for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder has not been demonstrated.
