Reocor D reminds you to replace the battery with the ERI signal (Low battery LED flashes).
•
After a defibrillation or cauterization, the device should
be subjected to a function test.
•
If the device will be stored for a long period of time, the
battery should be removed to prevent damage due to
leakage.
•
A damp cloth and mild soap can be used for cleaning.
Strong cleaning agents or organic solvents should be
avoided, as these can corrode the plastic housing.
•
Inspection and maintenance work should be performed
according to page 26.
•
Do not use rechargeable batteries. The service time of
these batteries is difficult to estimate, making it possible
to inadvertently exceed the ERI
cessation of pacing.
Only 9-volt batteries with the international code
IEC 6LR61 may be used. When using the battery type
MN 1604 Duracell
for at least 500 hours before the battery must be
replaced.
It is possible to exchange a battery while Reocor D is in
use. The device remains ready for use for at least 30 s at
the ambient temperature (20 ± 2°C) when the battery is
removed.
For safety reasons, the patient should be paced by
another source during the battery replacement.
•
Electrocautery should definitely not be performed at a
distance less than 15 cm from the leads, as it is possible
that ventricular fibrillation will be induced or the pace-
maker could be damaged.
The pacemaker should be set to asynchronous pacing to
avoid pacemaker inhibition due to interference signals.
During treatment, the peripheral pulse of the patient
should be continuously monitored. After treatment, the
pacemaker function must be inspected.
•
The circuitry of Reocor D is protected from the shock
energy that can be induced by a defibrillation. None-
theless, the following precautionary measures should be
taken, if possible:
