About Your System
This neurostimulation system is designed to deliver
electrical stimulation to targets in the brain. The
neurostimulation system includes the following
primary components:

Implantable pulse generator (IPG)

Extensions

Leads
 Patient magnet
 Patient controller (a device provided by
Abbott Medical or a compatible personal Apple‡
iOS‡ device)
NOTE: For more information on compatible
devices, see "Appendix A: Downloading the
Patient Controller App" (page 84).
The IPG connects to the implanted extensions, which
connect to the leads implanted in the brain. The IPG
delivers electrical pulses through the extensions and
leads to electrodes at a selected target in the brain in
order to provide therapeutic stimulation. The patient
magnet can turn the IPG on and off if the physician
enabled this functionality. Physicians use the clinician
programmer to create and modify a program for a
patient. Patients use the patient controller to control
their prescribed program.
The following image shows how the major system
components are intended to interact.
