Start Up
The operation of Reocor S is identical for all operating
modes. The operating steps should be carried out in the fol-
lowing order (the numbers in parentheses refer to Figure 1 on
page 10).
•
Insert battery.
•
Push protective cover down.
•
Prepare patient: Place the leads but do not connect them
to the pacemaker yet.
•
Prepare Reocor S:
•
Set the pacing rate with the Rate control dial (12).
•
Set the pacing amplitude with the Ampl. control dial (6).
•
Select the pacing mode with the dial Mode (13). The
device will be activated at the same time.
•
After the internal self-test has been completed success-
fully, the LEDs on the operating panel simultaneously
flash twice.
•
If the Low battery LED (3) flashes, the battery needs to be
replaced (for battery exchange, see page 20).
•
Connect leads; the yellow Pace LED (4) flashes in syn-
chrony with the pacing pulses.
•
Set the sensitivity with the Sens. control dial (7) so that
the green Sense LED (5) flashes in synchrony with every
sensed event.
•
A sufficient safety margin should be considered to ensure
reliable sensing.
•
Monitor the ECG of the patient and adjust amplitude
and/or sensitivity, if necessary.
Caution!
During use of Reocor S, the heart rate of the patient must be
monitored with an ECG monitor with alarm function.
Attachment
Reocor S must be operated either horizontally on a non-slip
surface or affixed to the patient with an armband, or from a
hanging position on the infusion stand using the hanger on
the back of the device.
To attach Reocor S to an infusion stand, unscrew the hanger
from the back of the device. This ensures safe operation and
unburdens the patient cables.
