Handling, Care and Maintenance

Reocor S

Reocor S is a highly developed precision device that must be
treated with care. Mechanical impact, e.g. by dropping the
device, can impair its function.
Please return the device to BIOTRONIK in case of damage or
impaired function.
Prior to use, the pacemaker should be stored at least two
hours under the ambient conditions specified for operation
(see page 30).
Housing, operating devices, connections, and patient cables
must be visually inspected for mechanical damage, deforma-
tion, loose parts, cracks, and dirt before each use.
WARNING! Never use a damaged device or a device that exhibits abnor-
mal behavior; especially if it has been dropped or could have
been damaged by high-frequency or defibrillation voltage.
Secure Reocor S either horizontally on a non-slip surface or
on the patient with an armband, or operate it from a hanging
position on the infusion stand using the hanger on the back of
the device.
Caution! Reocor S must not be worn directly on the skin.
Cleaning A moist cloth and, if necessary, mild soap can be used to
clean Reocor S. Strong cleaning agents or organic solvents
(such as ether or gasoline) should be avoided, as these can
corrode the plastic housing.
Disinfection For disinfection, wipe the device with a cloth soaked with a
disinfectant solution (e.g. Aerodesin 2000 or Lysoform D).
When mixing the solution, follow the dilution measure stated
by the manufacturer.
Note: After cleaning or disinfection, Reocor S must not be used for
one hour.
Sterilization Reocor S cannot be sterilized. If the device needs to be used
in a sterile environment, it can be packed into a sterile cover.
Annual checks of the device by manufacturer-authorized
technicians are recommended.
Caution! Even though Reocor S is protected from dripping water, the
device should be kept clean and dry.
