The Importance Of Your Implanted Medical Device Identification Card - Impulse Dynamics OPTIMIZER Smart Mini Patient Manual

Caution: Your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG should not be directly
exposed to therapeutic ultrasound or therapeutic radiation. This
type of exposure may damage the device that may not be
immediately detectable.
Caution: Store anti-theft systems and airport security screening
systems normally will not harm your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG.
However, do not linger around the equipment. Before going
through airport security screening, it is recommended that you
show your Implanted Medical Device Identification Card to
security personnel for review.
5.5 The Importance of Your Implanted Medical
Device Identification Card
Following your implantation surgery, your doctor will provide you
with an Implanted Medical Device Identification Card indicating
that you are implanted with an OPTIMIZER Smart Mini
Implantable Pulse Generator.
It is important that you carry your Implanted Medical Device
Identification Card and a current list of your medications with you
at all times. In a medical emergency, the Implanted Medical
Device Identification Card contains information of great
importance to an attending physician and will assist in expediting
any emergency medical care you may require.
In addition, it is important to notify all your health care providers
that you have had an OPTIMIZER Smart Mini device implanted.
As such, the next time you visit your doctor or dentist, show them
your Implanted Medical Device Identification Card so that a copy
of it may be made for their records.
