Nominee: Impulse Dynamics’ Optimizer Smart Mini System
Then, in 2022, the company won FDA premarket approval for the Optimizer Smart Mini, which the device developer described as a “smaller, smarter, long-lasting” implantable pulse generator.“
“Reducing the size of the device and extending its feature set while simultaneously extending its longevity took a great deal of ingenuity and cooperation,” Impulse Dynamics Chief Technology Officer David Prutchi said at the time. “This device utilizes an entirely new electronic chipset packaged into a compact, physiologically shaped implantable enclosure. The platform also includes a new, feature-rich programmer and charger designed to dramatically simplify the programming and use of the device.”
