•
Reocor S must not be used in areas with a danger of
explosion.
•
Only the manufacturer or a party expressly authorized by
BIOTRONIK may perform corrective maintenance,
enhancements or modifications to the device.
•
To ensure safety compliance, use only original replace-
ment parts and accessories authorized by BIOTRONIK.
Using any other parts voids the manufacturer's liability
for any consequences, guarantee and warranty.
•
In case of pacemaker dependency of the patient, an
emergency pacemaker should be kept on hand.
•
Keep an external defibrillator, oxygen, intubation equip-
ment and emergency drugs on hand.
•
Before use, Reocor S should be visually inspected for
damages and dirt.
•
Never use a device that is damaged or shows abnormal
behavior. Replace any cable that shows even slight
damage.
•
Before using Reocor S, the patient cable or leads, the
user should touch the patient to equalize electrical
potentials.
•
It is strongly recommended to examine all set para-
meters before the leads are connected to Reocor S.
•
Even though Reocor S is protected from dripping water,
the device and all plugs should be kept clean and dry.
•
Reocor S cannot be sterilized.
•
The connections of Reocor S and the temporary pacing
leads must be secured and checked regularly.
•
The patient cable must first be connected to Reocor S
and then to the leads.
•
The temporary leads, to which the Reocor S is connected,
represent a low-impedance conductor to the myocar-
dium for electric current. Therefore line-powered devices
that are operated in the patient's vicinity must be
grounded in accordance with established guidelines.
•
When handling already implanted leads, their connector
pins and metal contact surfaces must not touch or come
into contact with electrically conductive or wet surfaces.
•
If the cable is disconnected from the Reocor S, it must be
reconnected immediately and the security of the connec-
tion has to be examined.
•
When using unipolar leads, two unipolar leads must be
used for effective pacing.
