"There are various factors that can lead to BLE communication loss between an IPG and CP/PC, and not all instances are related to this identified component issue. If the PC and/or CP is unable to communicate with the patient's IPG, the troubleshooting steps outlined below, as well as those provided in the Troubleshooting section of CP (Model 55600) and PC (Models 55500, 3876) Instructions for Use may help restore communication.
" Use the CP to confirm communication with the IPG during the implant procedure and verify that BLE connectivity is functioning. In some cases, this issue may be detected prior to implantation.
" Ensure that Bluetooth wireless connectivity is enabled on both the CP and PC.
" Reduce the distance between the CP/PC and the IPG and confirm there are no physical obstructions. Maintaining a clear line of sight may improve communication.
" Move away from potential sources of wireless interference, such as household appliances, Wi-Fi routers, electrical equipment, or other wireless devices.
" Do not operate other wireless devices at the same time and disconnect any Bluetooth wireless technology media accessories.
" If the problem persists, contact your Abbott representative or Abbott Technical Support (1-800-727-7846) for help to determine whether the inability to communicate is related to this issue."
