Vercise™ PC Information for Prescribers
For additional information on estimating the longevity of the non-rechargeable battery, refer to the
appropriate programming manual as listed on your DBS Reference Guide.

Elective Replacement

When the implanted non-rechargeable Stimulator is nearing end of its battery life, the Stimulator
will enter the Elective Replacement mode. The Elective Replacement Indicator (ERI) will appear on
the Remote Control and Clinician Programmer. Changes made to the stimulation will not be saved,
and stimulation will not be available soon. Patients should be advised to contact their physician
to report this message screen. The Stimulator must be replaced to continue receiving stimulation.
Batteries that have lasted 12 months or more without entering ERI mode will have a minimum of 4
weeks between entering ERI mode and reaching End of Battery Life. Surgery is required to replace
the implanted Non-Rechargeable Stimulator, although leads may stay in place while the Stimulator
is exchanged.

End of Service

End of Battery Life
When the Stimulator battery is fully depleted, the End of Service (EOS) indicator will be displayed
on the Remote Control and Clinician Programmer. Stimulation will not be available. Surgery is
required to replace the implanted non-rechargeable stimulator to continue providing stimulation.
End of Programmed Service
The Vercise PC Stimulator software has been programmed to end service after a defined period.
When the Stimulator is within approximately 180 days of the end of its programmed period, the
Remote Control and Clinician Programmer will display a message indicating the number of service
days available.
Refer to the programming Manual and the Remote Control DFU listed on your DBS Reference
Guide for description of the End of Service messages displayed.
