4.1.1.6 Session inactivity safeguards
If you or the patient leaves the proximity of the programmer for a period of time, the system
provides 2 levels of session inactivity safeguards against unintentional programming.
●
In a follow-up session, after 2 min of programmer inactivity (with no screen button
activity), the system displays the patient’s name or ID number and device information
and requires you to confirm that the correct patient is in the follow-up session before
you can process a programming command. You can still interact with the programmer
during this time, but you must confirm any programming and interrogating requests.
●
In either an implant or follow-up session, after 2 hours of programmer inactivity (with no
screen button activity) the device transitions to Standby mode.
Standby mode – The system provides a Standby mode for situations in which a period of
inactivity in a patient session is planned. In Standby mode, the device operates in a manner
similar to that in nonwireless telemetry when the programming head is lifted from the device.
Live waveforms are turned off, and the programmer telemetry status indicator shows that
there is no telemetry link. A low level of communication is maintained between the device
and the programmer.
Programmer functions are limited in Standby mode. When the system is in Standby mode
it is possible to start a session with the device, either using the current programmer or
another. If another programmer is used to open a session with the device, end the session
with the current programmer first as the device can be in a session with only one programmer
at a time. Before you attempt to program, interrogate, or conduct testing or emergency
actions, you must verify that the session you are initiating is with the intended patient.
If desired, you can manually activate and deactivate Standby mode.
●
To activate Standby mode, select the wireless telemetry icon in the upper-left corner of
the programmer display.
●
To deactivate Standby mode, reselect the wireless telemetry icon in the upper-left
corner of the programmer display, or place either the Conexus Activator or the
programming head over the device. After 5 min in Standby mode, wireless telemetry is
deactivated within the device and must be reactivated by using either the Conexus
Activator or the programming head.
Note: Standby mode is also deactivated when you attempt to program parameters,
interrogate the device, or conduct testing or emergency operations. The programmer
screen displays the Verify Patient warning window. To deactivate Standby mode and
resume your patient session, verify that the session is with the intended patient, select
the “Allow wireless communication” check box, and select [Continue].
