St. Jude Medical announced CE Mark approval for the St. Jude Medical Infinity Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) System and directional DBS lead. The Infinity DBS system, which will be available in two sizes, is the only upgradeable DBS system available to patients battling movement disorders.

The system uses Bluetooth wireless technology to communicate between the St. Jude Medical Infinity DBS platform and Apple digital devices used as patient and physician controllers. Combined, the features of the system provide an improved, more intuitive experience for patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease, tremor and dystonia, a disorder which causes involuntary muscle contractions.
