THE Intellis™ Platform Spinal Cord Stimulation

This section of the website is aimed at members of the medical community (doctors, nursing professions, hospital administration, health insurance companies, etc.), if you’re a patient, please visit here.

INTRODUCING INTELLIS™

The Intellis™ Platform is designed to optimise your procedure as well as provide the opportunity to deliver meaningful patient outcomes.

OVERVIEW

The lntellis™ implantable neurostimulator is powered by proprietary Overdrive™ battery technology. It is designed to overcome limitations with current SCS systems and is optimised for the increased energy demands of High Dose (HD) therapy. The lntellis™ Platform uses a tablet with wireless programming and a neurostimulator that can record patient activity around the clock. Snapshot™ reporting allows physicians to objectively monitor a patient’s progress. Additional Medtronic exclusive features – AdaptiveStim™ and SureScan™ full-body MRI technologies – are also part of the Intellis™ Platform.

The EvolveSM Workflow gives standardized guidance on how to use HD and LD for patients with chronic back and leg pain. The FocusSM Workflow gives guidance on how to apply Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) for patients with chronic back pain. Click on the links to the right to learn more.

OBJECTIVE OUTCOMES

Why are they important?

“Subjective outcomes, such as VAS and ODI are helpful - but not enough. We need more objective data to help us see what is truly happening and changing in the life of a patient who is receiving Spinal Cord Stimulation. It can then help us see them getting better, and help us show them that they are getting better”.

Prof. Maarten Moens, Belgium

MEDTRONIC EXCLUSIVES

  • World’s smallest implantable SCS neurostimulator.
  • Overdrive battery technology optimized for the increased energy demands of HD therapies. 1 hour recharge from empty to full.
  • SnapShot reporting transforms patient conversations from subjective to objective.
  • The EvolveSM Workflow - standardised guidance to simplify the trial and implant experience and optimize patient therapy.
  • AdaptiveStim™ technology adjusts stimulation dose automatically. It delivers the right dose to the right location, as the pain target shifts with different body positions.
  • SureScanSM MRI technology gives SCS patients the broadest access to MRI* because it allows MRI scans anywhere on the body, under certain conditions.
