Vercise Gevia™ Deep Brain Stimulation System
Rechargeable IPG Battery Information
For information about charging your IPG, refer to the Charging Handbook. For information about checking the status of your IPG
battery and battery messages, refer to the Remote Control Handbook.
IPG Battery
The rechargeable IPG battery should provide at least 5 years of service. In many cases, the IPG battery should provide at least
25 years of service. Battery life is dependent on the stimulation settings and conditions.
Charging Estimate
Boston Scientific recommends any charging schedule that fits your schedule and lifestyle while maintaining sufficient charge
to maintain stimulation. Expect a daily charging time of 5 to 30 minutes, or a periodic charging time of 30 minutes to 4 hours
every 1 to 2 weeks. Your charging routine may vary depending on your stimulation settings. High power users will require more
frequent charging. Creating a charging routine involves finding the right balance among the following:
• How much power is needed for effective therapy
• How often you want to charge
• How long you want to charge
• How you would like to manage your personal schedule
