19.2 Emergency Programming When the Programmer is ON
The Urgent Programming command can be used to program the OPTIMIZER Smart
IPG with a safe parameter set [Standby (OOO) mode, CCM OFF].
To program the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG with a safe parameter set:
• Place (or replace, if necessary) the Programmer Wand over the OPTIMIZER
Smart IPG implant site.
• Perform one of the following actions:
o Pressing the Emergency Programming button on the Programmer Wand, or
o Selecting the Urgent button on the Tool Bar, or
o Pressing the F4 button on the keyboard of the tablet PC,
If the Urgent Programming operation is successful, the Programmer reports “Urgent
Programming OK”.
However if the Programmer Wand is not well positioned over the implant site, the
Urgent Programming operation may fail. If a failure in communication occurs, the
Programmer will display the message “Urgent Programming Error” along with 3 short
warning beeps and the options Retry and Cancel.
Retry can be performed by repositioning the Programmer Wand and selecting the Retry
button or by pressing the Emergency Programming button located on the Programmer
Wand.
After a successful Urgent Programming operation, the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG is
placed in Standby (OOO) mode, CCM OFF.
20. MAGNET MODE
Placing a pacemaker magnet over the implant site of the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG and
maintaining it in close proximity to the device for at least two cardiac cycles (2–3 seconds), sets
the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG into a Permanent Off state. This Permanent Off state is
maintained even after the magnet is removed from the implant site.
In this state, the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG does not deliver CCM signals, although it senses and
classifies cardiac events. This Permanent Off state can be changed only by reprogramming the
OPTIMIZER Smart IPG using the OMNI Smart Programmer software under physician
supervision.
Note: This feature is useful for turning off CCM signal delivery when an OMNI Smart
Programmer is not available (for example, when a STAT ECG needs to be performed on a
patient in an Emergency Room not equipped with an OMNI Smart Programmer).
