Vercise PC and Vercise Gevia DBS Systems
The Vercise PC and Vercise Gevia DBS Systems have a short range inductively coupled telemetry
system. A Remote Control (or Wand) has to be linked with a Stimulator to allow communication.
The Stimulator will not respond to any unlinked device. There are additional mechanisms that
ensure the integrity of the communicated data.
Vercise Genus DBS System
The Vercise Genus DBS System utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy for communication. The Vercise
Genus DBS System supported devices implement the following Bluetooth Low Energy security
features:
• LE Privacy
• LE Secure Connections
Additionally, the Vercise Genus DBS System implements proprietary authentication and encryption
that supports:
• Authenticated pairing sequences that are initiated by the healthcare provider.
• Establishing a bonded connection only after successfully completing the authentication
sequence.
• Creating a validated and encrypted communication link during each connection with a
previously paired device.
The additional application level authentication and encryption ensures that communication with the
Stimulator is only accomplished by authorized Boston Scientic devices.
