PACER LEAD FAULT
The message “PACER LEAD OFF” appears on the
whenever:
� the pacer cable is not connected
� there is a defect in the cable
� the pacer electrodes do not make good skin contact
Establish effective pacing (see instructions on previous pages). Note the
output at capture and run an ECG strip to document ECG morphology at
capture.
Set the mA output 10% higher than the minimum
effect consistent ventricular capture.
mA output necessary to
Turn the pacing rate below the patient’s heart rate. This suppresses pacing
unless the patient’s own rate drops below the set pacing rate. The pacing rate
should be set at a level needed for adequate cardiac output.
Check the threshold periodically.

STANDBY PACING
For certain patients at risk of developing symptomatic bradycardia, it may be
advisable to use the ZOLL PD 1400 in standby. When used in standby mode, the
ZOLL PD 1400 automatically provides a pacing stimulus whenever the patient’s
heart rate drops below a predetermined level. To use the ZOLL PD 1400 in
standby mode:
SPECIAL PACING APPLICATIONS
Noninvasive Temporary Pacing may be performed in the Cardiac Cath Lab, either
for emergency pacing or in standby mode. The pacing electrodes are essentially
radiotransparent except for steep imaging angulations where slight shadows may
be observed.
