†† As compared to Boston Scientific Vercise Genus R16 and Vercise Genus P16. MP92328632-05 REV-A. As compared to St Jude Medical Infinity 5/7 IPG. ARTEN600150429 - B.
‡‡ For implant depths of up to 2.0cm.
*Humanitarian device: The effectiveness of these devices for the treatment of dystonia has not been demonstrated.
Percept™ family with exclusive BrainSense™ technology
- Uses local field potentials (LFPs) as a signal of interest that can be tracked with responses to deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy and medications
- Offers data-driven insights into the patient’s condition enabling clinicians to adapt DBS to a patient’s needs
- Engineered for future software updates that allow patients to have access to additional features without a device exchange
BrainSense™ technology offers decision-making support to select and optimize programming configurations and maximize therapeutic results over time.
A vast majority of patients with Parkinson’s disease have a detectable signal (LFP).4
92%
have a detectable signal in an “off-medication” state4
87%
of brain hemispheres have a detectable signal in an “on-medication” state4
15+ years
of research has informed BrainSense™ technology
Your DBS patient may need an MRI
~10M
scans in the U.S. performed annually5
77%
MRI scans ordered globally are not brain-related.6

Full-body MRI access§§
- Medtronic offers greater freedom and scan access with 3T scans and best-in-class 1.5T MRI scan labeling8-10 for directional leads.
- Even when having an MRI, Medtronic DBS is the only DBS system that doesn't keep a patient from receiving the care they need.8-10
- No restrictions on prone position for breast scans with Medtronic DBS systems10
Quick links
Ω The sensing feature of the Percept™ PC system and Percept™ RC system is intended for use in patients receiving DBS where chronically recorded bioelectric data may provide useful, objective information regarding patient clinical status. The majority of patients with Parkinson’s disease have an identifiable signal. Signal may not be present or measurable in patients treated for essential tremor, dystonia*, epilepsy, or obsessive-compulsive disorder*.
*Humanitarian device: The effectiveness of these devices for the treatment of dystonia and obsessive-compulsive disorder has not been demonstrated.
