6.3 Description
Your Vesta Charger is
designed to charge the battery of
your
OPTIMIZER Smart Mini
IPG with minimal intervention while
ensuring your safety
during the charging process
.
In addition, your
Vesta
Charger is programmed to display alerts
and other messages that may require action on your part
(e.g.,
Call Doctor
Alert Codes that require you to contact your doctor
,
reminders to charge your implanted device, etc…).
Caution: The operation of
other electrical devices in the vicinity
of
your Vesta Charger may potentially cause electromagnetic or
other interference
with the c
harger
. Portable and mobile Radio
F
requency (RF)
equipment are especially prone to impair the
normal function of the charger.
Caution: When in operation, your Vesta Charger System may
be
a potential source of electromagnetic interference for other
electronic equipment in close proximity to the charger system.
6.4 Charging Method
The charging method utilized by your
Vesta Charger to charge the
battery of your OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG is called inductive
energy transfer. Since m
agnetic fields can
easily pass through the
skin with little to no resistance,
the charging
method used by your
Vesta
Charger is a proven and effective way to transfer energy to
your implanted device
.
Charging may be performed over clothing.
The manner in which inductive energy transfer is used to charge
the battery of your
OPTIMIZER Smart Mini
IPG is as follows:
1.
Electrical energy from the battery of
your Vesta Charger
passes
through a primary coil connected to the electronic
circuitry of the charger that converts it into an oscillating
electromagnetic field.
2. When a primary coil
is placed in clos
e proximity to a
secondary coil
, the
oscillating electromagnetic field
generated by a primary coil is picked up by a secondary
coil.
3.
The secondary coil
that picks up the oscillating
electromagnetic field is connected to the electronic
circuitry of the implant that converts it
back into electrical
