Discover what Percept™ PC Neurostimulator with BrainSense™ Technology has to offer

Based on decades of commitment to deep brain stimulation (DBS), Medtronic is redefining what’s possible with the Percept™ PC device. It enables you to personalize therapy based on objective data and brings forth several leading-edge innovations in a modern, ergonomic, easy-to-use solution that you and your patients want.

Percept™ PC neurostimulator is the only commercially available DBS system with sensing technology1 and ushers in a new era of DBS therapy for Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia,  and epilepsy.

 

BrainsenseTM
Technology

UNPRECENDENTED INSIGHT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CLINIC

Featuring 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.2

Event
Tracker

Complementing BrainSense™ technology with daily life data capture opportunities

Patients can track up to 4 pre-defined PD events (such as medication adherence, side effects, falls) on their patient programmer, that can be correlated with BrainSense™ technology data by the physician.

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. As of October 29, 2020 Medtronic is the only 1.5T and 3T MR conditional DBS system in Canada.
