Programming of Implantable Pulse Generators:
The implantable pulse generator (IPG) represents a key part of DBS systems and is the only component that requires programming, recharging, and potential replacement over time. The IPG is the active component of current DBS systems. It contains a battery and a power module, a CPU and program memory, as well as a microprocessor managing all the device’s functions, including activation, deactivation, pulsing parameters, internal diagnostics, and communication with external devices. After DBS and SCS, all patients are provided with patient programmers. Dr Ammar Anwer specializes in programming of IPGs and currently, the facility of Programming of following IPGs is available;
- Medtronic Activa™ RC & SC systems
- Medtronic Percept™ PC systems
- PINS Medical G102 DBS system
- St. Jude Medical Infinity™ DBS system
- Medtronic Prime Advance™ SCS system
- Medtronic Vanta™ SCS system
