• Log File Manager: This selection allows special settings of OMNI Smart
Programmer. It is to be used by Impulse Dynamics technical staff only and
is not needed for regular clinical use.
• Shutdown: Selecting the red Shutdown button on the Selection screen
turns OFF the OMNI Smart Programmer.
11.2 Basic Operation of the OMNI Smart Programmer Application
After the 2-Lead Clinical Mode button has been selected from the OMNI Smart box on
the Selector screen, the OMNI Smart Programmer software is started, which offers
various commands for communicating, interrogating, and programming the OPTIMIZER
Smart IPG.
11.2.1 Communication with the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG
The physician can obtain data from the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG by means of the
Programmer Wand, which must be placed over the patient’s implant site.
Caution: The Programmer Wand must be thoroughly cleaned between uses, and
draped when necessary, to prevent patient skin irritation or
contamination.
11.2.2 Interrogation and Programming
The OPTIMIZER Smart IPG has a set of parameters that control its operation.
The values of these parameters are referred to as the device (parameter) values.
The OMNI Smart Programmer software can read the device values by means of
the Interrogate command. This must be the first action carried out by the
physician in order to access information from the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG. If the
interrogation process is successful, the device values are loaded and displayed on
the screen of the OMNI Smart Programmer. The values displayed on the screen of
the OMNI Smart Programmer are referred to as the parameter values.
The physician can also view some of these values in a graphical representation.
The physician can review and modify the parameter values using the OMNI
Smart Programmer software. The modified parameter values can then be
transmitted to the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG by means of the Program command.
Note that the modified parameter values displayed on the programmer screen are
NOT transferred to the IPG until the Program command is performed.
If the new parameter values do not yield the desired clinical effect, they can be
cancelled using the Undo command. This command resets the device parameters
to those previously programmed.
The Urgent command programs the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG with standard safe
parameter values (CCM OFF). The Urgent command may be initiated by clicking
the Urgent button in the Tool Bar or pressing the Emergency button on the
Programmer Wand.
Useful parameter combinations can be stored as standard files (these are also,
sometimes, called “user presets”). The file extension for a standard file is “.tip”.
After the creation of a particular standard, the standard can be loaded for patients
who require a similar set of programmed values.
