Executive Summary
Performs first human implants in two patients of its Kinetra neurostimulator as part of a three-month safety and performance study, the firm says Aug 13. The study aims to support CE mark approval of the device and will involve 15-20 centers in Europe, Canada, and Australia. The Kinetra connects to two leads in the brain, eliminating the need to implant two separate neurostimulators in essential tremor or Parkinson's disease patients with bilateral symptoms, Medtronic claims
