Medtronic DBS Patient programmer Manuel D'utilisation page 15

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - A
type of medical procedure that scans your
body using magnetic fields to provide
detailed pictures of your anatomy.
Neurostimulation system - Components
that deliver, control, and maintain electrical
pulses to provide therapy to the brain.
Neurostimulator - The neurostimulator is the
implanted device that generates and
controls your DBS therapy.
Overdischarge (rechargeable battery only)
- The rechargeable battery cannot be
recharged when it is overdischarged. Once
the battery is in a discharged state, if it is
not recharged it continues to lose charge.
Eventually, the battery loses enough
charge to permanently affect the
neurostimulator. If this occurs, the battery
is overdischarged.
Parameter - One of three therapy settings
that adjust the electrical pulse: amplitude,
pulse width, and rate of the electrical
stimulation.
