7.10 Resetting the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG The OPTIMIZER Smart IPG has protective mechanisms that maintain the internal consistency of the system. These mechanisms detect when an internal discrepancy (for instance, clocks not oscillating at the expected frequency) occurs. If in the unlikely event a malfunction of this type occurs, the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG will place itself into a safe state referred to as “DOWN”...

Figure 112: Set system time Window 7.18 OPTIMIZER Smart IPG Alarms Reported to the OPTIMIZER Mini Charger 7.18.1 Minimum Target Percentage for CCM Delivery The OPTIMIZER Smart IPG keeps a record of the events and conditions that occurred during the last Active Period of the CCM scheduled delivery. This record can be used to calculate the percentage of CCM therapy delivered compared to the number of right ventricular events sensed during the period.

7.18.2 Maximum Lead Displacement Possible damage or displacement of a ventricular lead could be identified by a change in the lead impedance compared to previous measured values. Measurement of V and LS lead impedances by either the Optimizer Smart Programmer application or OPTIMIZER Mini Charger are stored in the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG.

Figure 113: LS Scan Screen When running an LS Scan, the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG is set to a special mode in which LS signals are sampled every 2 ms throughout a 200 ms interval centered at the right-ventricular event. These signals are sent to the Intelio Programmer to be displayed in the Local Sense Scan window as histograms.
