The 37651 charging system

The Medtronic 37651 DBS charging system guarantees patient comfort and
safety during the charging experience thanks to:

■ Temperature control during recharging

The system constantly monitors the temperature and the antenna connection.

If the temperature rises above a certain level:

- The system displays a warning message

- The charging power is reduced until
the antenna cools down

■ Temperature control function

- Monitors the antenna temperature every minute

- Automatically shuts o when the temperature rises above 38.3°C

- Charging restarts automatically when the temperature returns to a safe level.

■ Adhesive disc to improve the attachment of the antenna during charging (Ref.: 040618)

1 3 42

These double-sided adhesive discs provide better attachment of the antenna during charging,
keeping the head of the antenna from moving unintentionally and thus improving the charging

time. It is recommended not to place the adhesive directly on the skin.

■ Long-term battery performance

The proven

*

long-term performance of the battery used in Activa™ RC neurostimulators shows

that patients will experience a similar charging time and frequency over the entire service life of
the device.
