Introduction
The Boston Scientific Vercise™ Neural Navigator software is used to program the Vercise™ PC and Vercise Gevia™ Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Systems.
A programming session may include the following activities:
1. Starting Vercise Neural Navigator
2. Connecting to the Stimulator
3. Configuring the Stimulator and Leads
4. Testing different Stimulation Settings
This manual will provide instructions on how to accomplish these steps and perform additional functions, such as exporting reports and backing up data.
If you have any issues, contact Boston Scientific Technical Support.
Note: Screens depicted in this manual may differ slightly from the screens on your Vercise Neural Navigator.
Intended Use
Vercise Neural Navigator is a software program that is used to set and adjust stimulation parameters for the Vercise PC and Vercise Gevia DBS Systems.
Connecting the Programming Wand to the Clinician Programmer
The Clinician Programmer (CP) communicates with the Stimulator via a Programming Wand (Figure 1). The Programming Wand uses a radiofrequency (RF) link to
communicate with the Stimulator.
CAUTION: Use only Vercise PC or Vercise Gevia DBS System components with Vercise Neural Navigator. Failure to do so may result in the inability to program
the Stimulator.
CAUTION: The CP is not equipment for the patient environment as defined by IEC 60601‑1. The CP and the person using the CP should not be in contact with
the patient while programming.
Connecting the Programming Wand to the CP:
1. Plug the CP into a power source.
2. Power ON the CP.
3. Log in as ClinicUser. If this is the first login, use "bsn" as a temporary password. You will be prompted to setup a new ClinicUser password when logging into
the CP for the first time. The new ClinicUser password must be 10 or more characters in length.
Note: In regions where software is installed by a third party, follow region‑specific guidance for initial the ClinicUser password.
4. Connect the Programming Wand to the CP using the USB cable provided with the Programming Wand.
(a). Plug the Mini USB end of the USB Cable into the USB Port on the side of the Programming Wand.
(b). Plug the Standard USB end of the USB Cable into the USB Port on the CP.
5. Wait for the Wand to perform a self‑test. At the end of the self‑test, the Wand will beep.
6. If the Power Light on the Wand is green, place the Wand over the Stimulator.
(a). If the Power Light on the Wand remains red, contact Technical Support.
