An official Health Canada notice concerns Percept pc brainsense deep brain stimulation implantable neurostimulator. Medtronic has determined that Cardioversion may damage the electronics in the Percept PC INS device, making the INS unresponsive and non-functional, meaning that the INS cannot be turned back on. To restore stimulation therapy, surgical replacement of the INS will be required. Cessation of therapy will likely cause a return of disease symptoms. In some cases, symptoms may return with an intensity greater than was experienced prior to implant (rebound effect). In rare cases, this can constitute a medical emergency. Recall date: 2021-10-14 Published 2021-10-29.
