Note: Provided the connectors are correctly installed, the connector retention force in the
terminals is at least 2.24 lbf.
Clean each lead connector with sterile distilled water (if using saline, wipe each connector dry
with a surgical sponge afterwards) and fully insert each lead connector into its respective
connector terminal in the header of the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG.
Note: Before tightening the set screws, visually inspect each connector terminal in the header of
the IPG and verify that the tip of each lead connector is fully inserted into its respective lead tip
terminal.
Tighten the tip set screw for each lead using the sterile #2 Allen torque wrench included in the
IPG package. Turn the torque wrench clockwise until you can clearly hear and feel clicking. This
feature limits the amount of torque placed on the set screw and prevents it from being over-
tightened. Carefully apply traction on the strain relief of each lead to make sure that each lead is
securely anchored in their respective terminal.
Tighten the ring set screw for each lead using the torque wrench. Turn the torque wrench
clockwise until you can clearly hear and feel clicking, indicating that the torque wrench has
reached its torque limit.
8.5 Using a Port Plug with the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG
If an atrial lead is not going to be used with the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG, insert the Port Plug
provided with the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG package into the top port, labeled “A”, of the IPG.
Note: Alternately, any commercially available bipolar IS-1 port plug may be used to plug the atrial
port of the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG.
Tighten the tip set screw. The protruding length of the Port Plug may be shortened, but it is
recommended to leave at least 3/8 in length protruding from the IPG to enable future removal of
the Port Plug if it becomes necessary to connect an atrial sensing lead.
8.6 Verifying Lead Placement
Note: If OPTIMIZER Smart Mini Programmer application is still linked to the OPTIMIZER Smart
Mini IPG, then the Intelio Programming Wand does not need to be introduced into the sterile field.
However, if the OPTIlink between the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini Programmer application and the
OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG has closed, the Intelio Programming Wand will need to be
introduced into the sterile field and placed directly over the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG before
the OPTIlink can be reestablished.
Note: The Intelio Programming Wand is not sterile and cannot be sterilized. If the Intelio
Programming Wand needs to be introduced into the sterile field, it must first be placed in a sterile
probe cover or sleeve.
• Ask the person operating the Intelio Programmer (outside the sterile field) to perform the
following using the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini Programmer application:
o Set the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini IPG deliver CCM therapy by the performing the
following steps:
▪ Set Mode to OVO-LS-CCM mode (ODO-LS-CCM mode if implanted with
3 leads)
▪ Set CCM therapy Mode to ON
▪ Click on the CCM Settings tab
▪ Click the OPTIset Wizard
▪ Click the OPTIset: Propose IEGM Sensitivities button
▪ When OPTIset has completed its proposal of sensitivities, click the
Accept & Continue button
▪ When the OPTIset window appears again, click the OPTIset: Propose
CCM Algorithm Timing button
