Operating Notes
General Remarks
The connections of Reocor D and the temporary pacing leads
must be secured and checked regularly.
After the device is switched on, Reocor D executes a self-test
for a few seconds. This includes:
•
Check of the program code and the microprocessor
•
Memory test
•
Function test of the LEDs and the acoustic signals
•
Test of the pacing and sensing capability
•
Test of the efficacy of high rate protection
When the self-test finds a defect, all LEDs flash continuously
and acoustic warning signals sound. In this case, the pace-
maker must be turned off and sent to BIOTRONIK.
If the self-test did not find any errors, Reocor D begins
delivering pacing pulses in accordance with the programmed
parameters. The negative electrode (cathode) should there-
fore only be connected when it has been ensured that the
pacing mode, pacing rate, pulse amplitude and sensitivity
have been programmed correctly.
Setting the rotary switch for the operating mode to OFF
prevents pacing pulses from being delivered to the patient
immediately after connecting the leads.
The following warnings can appear during use:
•
A required battery replacement is indicated by the flash-
ing Low battery LED.
•
If the lead impedance is not within a permissible range
(e.g. due to a fractured lead or a loose contact), a rapid
sequence of sounds can be heard no earlier than
5 seconds after activation.
•
If the pulse amplitude is set to values
>
values
180 ppm, an acoustic signal sounds for about
2 seconds.
•
If the rate is too high (see page 31 "High rate protection")
or if the self-test has not passed, an acoustic signal
sounds and the Pace and Sense LEDs flash.
