7.10 Frequency of Charging Sessions
The optimal performance of the rechargeable battery in your
OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG can only be ensured if the
battery is fully recharged every week. It is not important which day
or what time you choose to charge your OPTIMIZER Integra
CCM-D IPG, but it is recommended that you do not let more than
seven days pass between charge sessions.
Note: Your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG consumes energy
from the rechargeable battery when recording information during
arrhythmic episodes. Please charge your OPTIMIZER Integra
CCM-D IPG soon after experiencing an arrhythmia episode, even
if you recently recharged your device, to avoid interrupting the
delivery of CCM therapy or consuming energy from the non-
rechargeable battery.
If your Guardio Charger is not used to perform a charging session
on your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG within the time period
set by your doctor, you may see the Long Time Without Charging
IPG alert screen displayed by your Guardio Charger, indicated by
an animated image of the Guardio’s Charging Wand being placed
over a patient’s implanted device. See Figure 24.

If you see this message displayed by your Guardio Charger,
proceed to use your Guardio Charger to charge your OPTIMIZER
Integra CCM-D IPG. If your attempt to charge your OPTIMIZER
Integra CCM-D IPG with your Guardio Charger is unsuccessful,
please call the 24-hour Support Hotline (866-312-5370).
If the rechargeable battery voltage in your OPTIMIZER Integra
CCM-D IPG drops below a certain level, CCM therapy delivery is
automatically suspended. If this occurs, your OPTIMIZER Integra
CCM-D IPG will need to be recharged before it resumes delivering
CCM therapy. Once your OPTIMIZER Integra CCM-D IPG has
been recharged, it will automatically resume CCM therapy delivery
with its previously programmed settings.
