EonC™ Primary Cell IPG System

This device is approved for use in the United States and select international markets.

EonC Primary Cell IPG System

The EonC IPG is St. Jude Medical’s first extended-life primary cell implantable pulse generator.1 It offers the greatest capacity of any non-rechargeable IPG2-4 and a wide range of pulse widths, frequencies and amplitudes to treat complex pain patterns. The EonC IPG is the ideal choice for patients with low to medium power requirements and those who prefer the simplicity of a non-rechargeable IPG.

The longevity of a primary cell IPG depends on the energy requirements of the patient. At certain settings, small primary cell IPGs will last more than 5 years and high-capacity primary cell IPGs can last 10 years or longer.5

Primary cell IPGs are available in 8- and 16-contact configurations.

Capacity. Capability. Control.

The EonC IPG combines constant current delivery with market-leading battery capacity, NeuroDynamix™ capabilities, and enhanced therapy control in an easy-to-use system. The EonC IPG offers:

  • More Capacity – Features the greatest battery capacity of any primary cell IPG, with 40% more capacity than the Medtronic Restore PrimeADVANCED IPG.2-4
  • Configurability – Compatible with a comprehensive line of neuromodulation leads and extensions, including the A127™ extension for easy replacement of depleted competitive IPGs.6
  • Programming Ease – The only 16-contact constant current, primary cell IPG that automatically adjusts power output to maintain prescribed stimulation as impedance levels change.2,3,5

Benefits for Patients

  • Primary cell battery does not require recharging, making it less complex and easier to maintain.
  • Constant current automatically adjusts power output to changes in impedance that can occur over time.
  • Patients can control up to 8 pain areas simultaneously and independently.
