Page 5: Introduction
Introduction Introduction The Boston Scientific DBS System is used for deep brain stimulation (DBS), a reversible therapy where structures in the brain are stimulated with small electrical pulses. The Boston Scientific DBS System includes a rechargeable stimulator that will require periodic recharging. -
Page 6: Using The Charging System
Failure to recharge may lead to loss of stimulation. After stimulation stops, communication with the Stimulator will also cease until a sufficient level of charge has been attained. Refer either to your Vercise DBS Patient Manual or your Remote Control Handbook for more information. - Page 7 Stimulator will lose its ability to recover its full capacity. As a result, over time, the Stimulator may require shorter intervals between charges. The Stimulator will need replacement when stimulation can no longer be maintained with routine charging.

Page 12: Charging Your Stimulator
Vercise DBS Charging Handbook Charging Your Stimulator When charging, you must use the Charger with either the Charging Collar or an Adhesive Patch to hold the Charger over the Stimulator. The Adhesive Patches are made of non-reactive and natural Latex-free material suitable for most sensitive skin types. - Page 13 Charging Collar using the straps. Occasionally checking that the Charger is aligned over the Stimulator during your charging session is recommended. Note: The Charging Collar can be placed under or over clothing. You should not wear tight fitting or heavy clothing over the Charger while charging to allow air flow around the Charger. Note: Do not use the Charging Collar when it is wet or damp.
