Abstract

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems frequently rely on radiofrequency (RF) transmission for patient programming. The potential exists for other devices to interfere with communication between the internal pulse generator (IPG) and the programming device. In this paper, we are reporting a case of programming interference between the IPG and the WaveID device.
