One illuminated bar indicates degraded QoS which may
require a longer charging time. Zero illuminated bars on
the Coupling Level icon accompanied by an audible
beeping tone indicates poor placement of the charging
wand. If the charging wand is not repositioned onto the
implant site within 20 seconds, the Vesta Charger will
emit 3 long beeping tones, display the Charging IPG
Coupling Error screen, and then shut off.
Besides charging the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini, the Vesta
Charger also serves as a way of messaging the patient
about alerts and other conditions. The Vesta Charger is
configured to communicate with the OPTIMIZER Smart
Mini IPG at least once a day. This communication occurs
whenever the IPG is within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the Vesta
Charger for a few minutes.
If the Vesta Charger and the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG
do not communicate within a programmable time period,
the patient may see the "Long Time Without Downloading
Data From IPG" alert screen displayed by the Vesta
Charger:
In this case, instruct the patient to attempt to charge their
OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG with their Vesta Charger. If
the patient is able to charge their implanted device
successfully, then the alert screen should no longer be
displayed by the Vesta Charger. If the attempt to charge
the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG with the Vesta Charger is
unsuccessful, the Impulse Dynamics representative
should be contacted.
