23. MARKER EVENTS
The OMNI Smart Programmer can be used to set the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG into Marker
Mode. Markers are flags that represent the various states of the device and events detected
during its operation. In this mode, all events detected and generated by the OPTIMIZER Smart
IPG are displayed in the ECG window synchronized with the patient’s ECG signal. The markers
are useful for analyzing the behavior of the IPG with different programmed parameters.
23.1 Turning Markers On
To set the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG in Marker Mode:
• Place (or replace, if necessary) the Programmer Wand over the OPTIMIZER
Smart IPG implant site.
• Select the Marker button on the Tool Bar.
If the programming is successful, the Programmer reports “Start marker mode”. In the
ECG Window of the OMNI Smart Programmer Software, a bar will appear and Marker
Events will be displayed as they occur.
However if the Programmer Wand is not well positioned over the implant site, setting the
OPTIMIZER Smart IPG in Marker mode will fail, and the Programmer will display the
message “Marker mode error” along with the options Retry and Cancel
Retry can be performed by repositioning the Programmer Wand and selecting the Retry
button.
23.2 Turning Markers Off
To turn off Marker Mode:
• Select the Marker button the Tool Bar, or
• Remove the Programmer Wand from the implant zone. If the Programmer Wand
cannot communicate with the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG, the Marker Mode is
automatically terminated.
In all cases, the Programmer reports “Marker mode end OK”.
Whenever a communication command between the OPTIMIZER Smart IPG and the
OMNI Smart Programmer takes place (programming, reading statistics, measuring
impedances, etc.), the Marker Mode automatically ends and is re-established when the
communication has finished.
23.3 Sensed Events
Sensed events are represented by colored line markers below the baseline, which use the
following color conventions:
• Magenta: Atrial sensed event
• Green: Ventricular sensed event
• Black: Local Sense event
