We present evidence-based approaches to mitigate hardware complications, of which infection represents the most important factor.
Here we provide an overview of key hardware and software specifications of commercially available IPG systems such as rechargeability, MRI compatibility, electrode configuration, pulse delivery, IPG case architecture, and local field potential sensing.
Despite their miniaturization and increasing sophistication, DBS systems share a common set of components of which the implantable pulse generator (IPG) is the core power supply and programmable element. 12KITE, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canadaĭeep brain stimulation (DBS) represents an important treatment modality for movement disorders and other circuitopathies.Safra Program in Parkinson’s Disease Morton and Gloria Shulman Movement Disorders Clinic, Toronto Western Hospital, and Division of Neurology, Toronto Western Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada 10CRANIA Center for Advancing Neurotechnological Innovation to Application, University of Toronto, ON, Canada.
