You should avoid getting too close to equipment or devices

that

contain strong magnets (e.g.,

stereo speakers)

or leaning over an

open automobile engine compartment, as the alternator generates

a strong electromagnetic field

. Your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini

IPG

contains a magnetic switch that, when

expos

to a strong

magnet for 3-

5 seconds, will disable CCM therapy delivery

. If this

occurs by accident, your doctor

may require you to come to their

office to restore CCM therapy delivery

. Since your OPTIMIZER

Smart Mini

IPG

is not a life-

sustaining device, you are unlikely to

be placed at risk by such an event.

Always

seek

medical advice before entering an area posted with a

warning for pacemaker patients (or other medical implantable

devices) or where there is industrial machinery or radio

transmitters, including ham radios and mobile radios.

Always

inform your doctor that you have an implanted

OPTIMIZER Smart Mini

IPG

before

you undergo the following

procedures:

•

urgery where electrocautery is going to be used

•

procedure involving Radiofrequency (

)

Ablation

•

Medical

Diathermy

•

Cardi

oversion

•

Therapeutic R

adiation

•

Therapeutic U

ltrasound

•

Lithotripsy

•

uclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)

•

agnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Warning:

DO NOT

undergo an MRI procedure when implanted

with an OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG

Caution:

Your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini

IPG should either be

deactivated or closely monitored prior to and during any medical

treatment in which electrical current is passed through the body.

Caution:

Your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini

IPG should not be directly

exposed to therapeutic ultrasound or therapeutic radiation

. This

type of exposure may damage the device

that

may not be

immediately detectable.
