Authorizing the Programmer
Aer you establish communicaon with a new IPG, an X icon appears on the Operaonal Display screen. This
icon means that the programmer is unauthorized with the IPG.
Figure 10.
X icon on the Operaonal Display screen
NOTE: An X in place of the program number may also indicate that another programmer made a change to
the program that is in the IPG.
The paent programmer has several authorizaon modes to ensure paent safety and programmer usability.
The authorizaon modes are as follows:
▪ Unauthorized. The programmer has never been assigned to an IPG implant (or has been reinialized).▪
▪
Not authorized. The IPG serial number does not match the serial number stored in the programmer.
▪
▪ Parally authorized. The programmer serial number does not match the programmer serial number▪
stored in the IPG.
▪
Fully authorized. Both the programmer and the IPG match the respecve serial numbers for
▪
authorizaon.
Before you can use a programmer with an IPG to create and save a program, you must authorize the
programmer to work with that parcular IPG. To use a programmer with an IPG for the rst me, see
“Authorizing the Programmer With an IPG” (page 10). To use the programmer with a dierent IPG, see
“Reauthorizing a Programmer With a Dierent IPG” (page 11).
Authorizing the Programmer With an IPG
You can use any Model 3855 or 3856
Prodigy™ paent programmer to modify the program that is stored in a
Prodigy™ IPG or Protégé™ IPG, and you can use any Model 3856 programmer to modify the program that is
stored in a
Prodigy MRI
™ IPG or
Protégé MRI
™ IPG. However, before allowing the programmer to save a
program or download other saved programs to the IPG, the programmer and IPG must be fully authorized.
To authorize the paent programmer to an IPG:
1. Establish communicaon with the IPG. See “Communicang With the IPG” (page 7). The Operaonal1.
Display screen appears.
