Description
The Medtronic TH91DBS Percept™ Patient Programmer is an advanced device that gives you, the patient, more control over your Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy. Designed with user experience in mind, this next-generation system brings together convenience, safety, and smart technology in a way that empowers individuals managing neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor.
This patient programmer includes two essential components: the programmer handset and a wireless communicator. The programmer itself resembles a smartphone, complete with a large, responsive touchscreen and easy-to-recognize icons that make navigation intuitive even for those who aren’t tech-savvy. It allows you to safely adjust therapy settings within the ranges determined by your healthcare provider, offering personalized, at-home therapy management.
The communicator is a separate piece of hardware that communicates wirelessly with the neurostimulator implanted in your body. When therapy adjustments are needed—whether it’s turning the system on or off, modifying settings, or checking battery levels—you simply hold the communicator over the implant site. The device securely syncs with your neurostimulator and transmits data to the handheld programmer, allowing changes to be made in real time.
One of the standout features is the integrated Digital Diary. This feature lets you log personal therapy events such as when you took medication, experienced symptoms, or changed settings. By storing this information digitally, you eliminate the hassle of keeping a paper journal, and your healthcare provider gains valuable insights during follow-up appointments.
Battery management is also made simple with Smart Battery Technology. You can instantly view how much charge remains in your neurostimulator, helping avoid surprises and plan ahead for battery replacement appointments with your physician.
The device also enhances convenience and safety during medical imaging with Expanded Access to MRI. The programmer can verify whether your implanted device is MRI-compatible and help place it into MRI mode. In many cases, you may not even have to turn off stimulation during the scan, depending on your settings and MRI protocol. This functionality gives patients and providers alike added flexibility and confidence when imaging is required.
In summary, the Medtronic TH91DBS Percept™ Patient Programmer blends familiar mobile technology with advanced DBS control, offering freedom, insight, and convenience to patients managing complex neurological conditions. With a user-friendly interface, data tracking, real-time therapy customization, and safety features, it supports a better quality of life while helping patients stay actively involved in their therapy journey.
