The CPT code for this placement is 64590 (Insertion or replacement of peripheral or gastric neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver, direct or inductive coupling). It is noteworthy that this is also the code which is used for replacement of the IPG when the battery has expired.

What stimulator means?

: one that stimulates or provides a stimulus an electronic nerve stimulator immune system stimulators interdental stimulators.

What is the ICD 10 code for presence of spinal cord stimulator?

Z96.8282.

What are the different types of spinal cord stimulators?

Spinal cord stimulators come in 3 main types:Conventional implantable pulse generator, or IPG. A battery is placed in the spine during an operation. ... Rechargeable implantable pulse generator. A battery is placed in the spine during an operation. ... Radiofrequency stimulator. This type of stimulator is an older design.

02/14/2003 - Provide limited coverage for unilateral or bilateral thalamic ventralis intermedius nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment of essential tremor and/or Parkinsonian tremor and unilateral or bilateral subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus interna DBS for treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

Where is DBS implanted?

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) delivers electrical pulses to the brain via electrodes surgically implanted in the internal globus pallidus interna (GPi), subthalamic nucleus (STN) or ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) of the thalamus. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but the goal of DBS is to interrupt the pathways responsible for the abnormal movements associated with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. The exact location of electrodes depends on the type of movement disorder. Unlike standard surgical ablation, which causes permanent destruction of the targeted area, DBS is reversible and adjustable. The DBS device consists of an implantable pulse generator (IPG) or neurostimulator, an implantable lead with electrodes and a connecting wire. The neurostimulator is approximately the size of a stop watch and is similar to a cardiac pacemaker. Subcutaneous extension wires connect the lead(s) to the neurostimulator which is implanted near the clavicle or, in the case of younger primary dystonia patients, in the abdomen.

When was Activa approved?

The FDA approved the Activa® Tremor Control System (Medtronic) on July 31, 1997. The device is indicated for unilateral thalamic stimulation for the suppression of tremor in the upper extremity in patients who are diagnosed with essential tremor or Parkinsonian tremor not adequately controlled by medications and where the tremor constitutes a significant functional disability. Available at:

Is deep brain stimulation FDA approved?

Deep brain stimulation is a procedure and, therefore, not subject to FDA regulation. However, any medical devices, drugs, and/or tests used as part of this procedure may require FDA regulation.

Is activa a humanitarian device?

On March 28, 2005, the Activa® Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy System was designated as a Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) for the treatment of chronic, treatment-resistant obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in a subset of patients. However, the FDA does not list a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) approval for authorization to market the device.

Is Medtronic DBS approved by the FDA?

The Medtronic DBS therapy for refractory epilepsy (also known as the Intercept™ Epilepsy Control System) is under review by the FDA. On March 12, 2010, the FDA Neurological Devices Panel voted seven to five to recommend approval with conditions for the Medtronic DBS System for Epilepsy, and a final decision from FDA is pending. Medtronic submitted a premarket approval application (PMA) supplement in July 2009 for the Medtronic DBS System for Epilepsy as adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures in adults with medically refractory (i.e., treatment-resistant) epilepsy. Results from the Stimulation of the Anterior Nucleus of the Thalamus for Epilepsy (SANTE) trial supported Medtronic’s PMA. With the exception of the Intercept Patient Programmer, all components of the Medtronic system currently have U.S. marketing approval for other DBS indications as part of the Medtronic Activa PC Neurostimulation System for Tremor Control and Parkinson’s disease. The panel recommended the following conditions of approval for epilepsy:

Does deep brain stimulation help with epilepsy?

Deep brain stimulation has also been investigated for treatment of epilepsy. Fisher et al. (2010) reported on a multicenter, double-blind, randomized trial of bilateral stimulation of the anterior nuclei of the thalamus using the Medtronic DBS System for Epilepsy. One hundred ten participants with epilepsy were included in the study referred to as the SANTE trial. Half received stimulation and half no stimulation (control group) during a 3-month blinded phase; then all received unblinded stimulation. In the last month of the blinded phase the stimulated group had a 29% greater reduction in seizures compared with the control group. Unadjusted median declines at the end of the blinded phase were 14.5% in the control group and 40.4% in the stimulated group. By 2 years, there was a 56% median percent reduction in seizure frequency; 54% of patients had a seizure reduction of at least 50%, and 14 patients were seizure-free for at least 6 months. Thirty-six percent (40 of 110) of patients experienced serious adverse events, including 6 deaths, 10 cases of suicidality (2 events occurred in patients who discontinued the trial during the baseline phase), 4 intracranial hemorrhages, 6 device-related infections requiring device removal, and 5 cases of status epilepticus. The FDA panel reviewing the SANTE results expressed particular concern about an increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts in some trial patients. One patient who was not receiving active stimulation due to battery depletion committed suicide while awaiting further surgery to replace the neurostimulator. Two more patients either attempted suicide or intentionally injured themselves. Five other patients reported having suicidal thoughts. Thus, the company added the following warning to proposed device labeling: “Depression monitoring - During treatment, patients should be monitored closely for new or changing symptoms of depression.”
