THE VESTA CHARGER SYSTEM Description The Vesta Charger is designed to charge the battery of the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG with only minimal patient intervention while ensuring patient safety and maintaining proper operation of the IPG during the charging process.
Charging Method The charging method utilized by the Vesta Charger to charge the battery of the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG is called inductive energy transfer. Since magnetic fields can penetrate human tissues with nearly no attenuation, inductive energy transfer is the only practical transcutaneous recharging method.
Buzzer: An internal buzzer that produces beeping tones to inform the patient of a • condition that requires action Charging Wand: Wand containing a coil and circuitry used by the Vesta Charger for • charging as well as short-range communications with the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG Radio Transceiver: Device used by the Vesta Charger for long-range communications •...

1.6.4.6 Snooze Buzzer Alert Screen This screen instructs the patient to press the button on the Vesta Charger to silence the beeping tone associated with the activated alert. It is the screen that is displayed after the alert screen of a newly activated alert.
2. Place a pairing magnet (or a standard pacemaker magnet) to the left of the Power Button on the Vesta Charger. See Figure 29. Note: A Vesta Charger being used for the first time does not require the use of a magnet during the pairing process.
AC Adapter and the AC Adapter plugged into the wall outlet. This keeps the battery of the Vesta Charger fully charged and ready to be used the next time they need to charge their implanted OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG.
Warning: Failure to recharge the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG as required may cause it to shut down when the battery is depleted, suspending CCM therapy delivery. Note: The Vesta Charger cannot be used to charge the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG until the AC Adapter is disconnected from the Vesta Charger.

(at least daily) until their implanted device is fully charged. 8. When the battery of the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG is fully charged, the Vesta Charger will emit three short beeping tones and display the IPG Charging Successfully Completed screen (see Figure 37).
Alternatively, the patient can remove the charging wand of the Vesta Charger from the implant site, which will cause the Vesta Charger to time out and shut off automatically. Note: During the charging process, the Vesta Charger monitors the temperature of the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG.
If the Vesta Charger is not used to perform a charging session on the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG within the time period set by the Optimizer Smart Mini Programmer application, the patient may see the Long Time Without Charging IPG alert screen (see Figure 41) displayed by the Vesta Charger.
Impulse Dynamics representative. 1.14 Call Doctor Alert Codes In addition to charging the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG, the Vesta Charger is also able to notify the patient of an alert condition in the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG that requires action.
When Alert Code 23 is displayed, it means that the battery voltage level in the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG is less than 3.6 V. If the Vesta Charger displays this Alert Code, please charge the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG battery as soon as possible to prevent CCM therapy from becoming suspended.
Note: FCE Chargers are for clinical use only and are not to be assigned to patients. To obtain an FCE Charger, please contact your Impulse Dynamics representative. The FCE Charger is intended to be used in a clinical setting to charge a patient’s implanted...

20 seconds, the Vesta Charger will emit 3 long beeping tones, display the Charging IPG Coupling Error screen, and then shut off. If this occurs, press the Power Button again to initiate a new charging session.
8. When the battery of the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG is fully charged, the Vesta Charger will emit three short beeping tones and display the IPG Charging Successfully Completed screen (see Figure 48). The Vesta Charger will then shut off automatically.
Warning: DO NOT attempt to clean the electrical connector of your Vesta Charger. Warning: DO NOT submerge any part of the Vesta Charger in water. Damage to the unit may result. The Vesta Charger has limited protection against the ingress of water or humidity (ingress protection rating IP22).
Warning: No modification of this equipment is allowed. The battery inside the Vesta Charger is expected to have a service life of at least 5 years. If the Vesta Charger cannot fully charge an OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG after the charger battery has been fully charged, please contact your Impulse Dynamics representative to obtain a replacement charger.
If essential performance is lost due to electromagnetic disturbances, the Vesta Charger shall not be able to charge any IPG. The Vesta Charger, part of the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini System, is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment as specified below. The customer or user of the Vesta Charger must ensure that it is used within the specified environment.
