Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) - The
delivery of electrical pulses to a targeted
area or areas of the brain.
Discharged battery status (rechargeable
battery only) - The rechargeable battery is
depleted and should be charged as soon
as possible. When the battery is in a
discharged state, therapy is not available.
Electrode - A metal piece near the tip of the
lead. Electrodes deliver electrical pulses to
a targeted area or areas of the brain.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) - A
strong field of energy near electrical or
magnetic devices that could prevent the
neurostimulator from functioning properly.
EOS (End of Service) - A notification that the
neurostimulator has reached its end of
service. At EOS, the neurostimulator no
longer delivers the electrical pulses that
provide therapy.
