Impulse Dynamics OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D Patient Manual page 8

The OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG is powered by a
rechargeable battery to extend its service life. A charger
specifically designed to recharge the battery of the OPTIMIZER
Integra CCM-D IPG will be provided to you after your implant
surgery.
The OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG also contains a non-
rechargeable battery that provides the extra power needed to
deliver defibrillation shocks to your heart if it detects a life-
threatening heart rhythm.
The expected life of the OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG is limited
by the expected service life of its batteries.
With weekly charging of your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG,
the rechargeable battery inside the OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D
IPG should provide you with at least 20 years of service.
The non-rechargeable battery inside the OPTIMIZER Integra
CCM-D IPG should provide you with at least 20 years of service if
the following conditions are met:
•
your device delivers a limited number of shocks per year
•
your device is not required to deliver pacing therapy for an
extended period of time
•
the rechargeable battery in your OPTIMIZER Integra
CCM-D IPG is fully recharged on a weekly basis
Your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG will need to be replaced
when the battery voltage of its non-rechargeable battery drops
below a certain level. Your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG
monitors this voltage and will provide advance warning to your
healthcare provider regarding the state of its non-rechargeable
battery whenever your device is interrogated during a follow up
visit.
Your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG will need to be replaced
when its rechargeable battery, after being fully recharged, can no
longer maintain enough charge to deliver CCM therapy for an
entire week without becoming severely depleted.
When being evaluated for elective replacement, you will be
instructed to fully charge your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG 7
days before your scheduled routine checkup. During your
checkup, your doctor may evaluate the charge capacities of both
batteries in your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG.
