Introduction
The Boston Scientic 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 Scientic DBS System includes a rechargeable stimulator
that will require periodic recharging.
The Charging System allows you to recharge the Stimulator battery as needed. The Charging System for the Stimulator
consists of the Charger, a Base Station, and a Power Supply. The Base Station is designed to remain connected to a
power outlet at all times. When it is not being used, keep the Charger on the Base Station so that it is always ready to
deliver a charge.
This manual provides you with instructions for charging your stimulator. We encourage you to read this and your other
Boston Scientic manuals entirely. If you have any questions, or need clarication on anything contained in this manual,
please contact Boston Scientic.

Using the Charging System
The Boston Scientic Stimulator is rechargeable. You should expect a daily recharging time of 15 to 30 minutes or a
periodic recharging time of 3 to 4 hours every 1 to 2 weeks. Your recharge routine may vary depending on your stimulation
parameters. High power users will require more frequent charging. Boston Scientic recommends any recharge routine
that ts your schedule and lifestyle while maintaining sufcient charge to maintain stimulation.
Developing a recharge routine involves nding the right balance between four factors:
●How much power is required to experience effective therapy.
●How often you want to recharge.
●How long you want to recharge.
●How you would like to manage your personal schedule.
The Boston Scientic DBS System’s programming software gives your healthcare provider a conservative
recommendation for how often to charge. This estimate assumes stimulation is on 24 hours per day, 7 days a week at the
programmed energy output level. While you may want to follow these recommendations, you and your physician can also
develop an appropriate charge routine that best ts your schedule.
The Remote Control provides an easy-view Stimulator battery meter on the Home screen as well as messages to inform
you of the battery’s condition. When the Remote Control indicates a low battery the Stimulator should be recharged as
soon as possible. Failure to recharge may lead to loss of stimulation. After stimulation stops, communication with the
Stimulator will also cease until a sufcient level of charge has been attained. Refer either to your Vercise DBS Patient
Manual or your Remote Control Handbook for more information.

The life of the Stimulator battery is dependent on the stimulation settings and conditions. Over time and with repeated
charging, the battery in the 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.

Charging the Charger
The Charger contains a rechargeable battery that is used
to recharge your Stimulator’s battery.
Cautions:
●Keep the Charging System dry. It should not be
exposed to moisture.
●Do not connect the charger to any other device
except to the Base Station provided with it.
●Keep the Charging System away from pets, pests
and children to avoid damage to the device.
To charge the Charger:
1. Find a convenient electrical outlet that meets the
following criteria:
- will not expose the Charging System
to water or direct heat
- next to a at, clear surface for the Base Station.
2. Plug the Power Supply into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. Connect the Power Supply to the Base Station.

The Charger is ready to fully charge your Stimulator when the indicator light is green. If the light is yellow, the Charger can
only partially charge the Stimulator. It may be used, but it may not be able to return your Stimulator to a full charge (and
you may need to charge sooner than usual).
Indicator Light Description
Green The Charger is fully charged and ready to charge the Stimulator.
Yellow The Charger is partially charged. The Charger may still be used, but it may not be able to fully
charge the Stimulator. To fully charge the Charger, place it in the Base Station.
Off The Charger is off –or– the Charger battery is empty. If pressing the Power Button does not
turn on the Charger, place the Charger in the Base Station to charge.
Charger Battery Service Life: The Charger battery has a typical service life of 500 charging cycles.
