Any such interference detected by your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini
IPG may cause false detection of your heartbeat and improper
timing of CCM therapy delivery.
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 exposed 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:
Surgery where electrocautery is going to be used
A procedure involving Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation
Medical Diathermy
Cardioversion
Therapeutic Radiation
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Lithotripsy
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Magnetic 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.
