Setrox S Steroid-Eluting Leads Technical Manual 25WarningPrevention of Leakage Current ConductionPulse generators and testing equipment connected to thelead must be battery-powered. Proper grounding of linepowereddevices in the vicinity of the patient is essential toprevent leakage currents arising from such devices to beconducted via the lead’s terminal or any other non-insulatedpart.Previously Implanted LeadsIt is generally recommended that a chronically implantedendocardial lead not be explanted. If it becomes necessaryto abandon a lead, the connector pin should be capped toprevent the transmission of electrical signals to the heart.Generally, the electrode position is regarded acceptable if the values forcapture and sensing threshold meet the following industry-recommendedvalues:Measurement Atrial VentricularMaximum acute capture thresholdat pulse duration setting ≤ 0.5 ms1.5 V 1.0 VMinimum acute sensing amplitudes 2.0 mV 5.0 mVImpedance range (0.5 ms, 4.8 V) 500 to 2000 W8.3 Lead Connection to the Pulse Generator1. Withdraw the stylet and stylet guide before connecting the lead tothe pulse generator.2. Lubricate the sealing rings of the lead with the silicone oilcontained within the BIOTRONIK pulse generator package tofacilitate insertion of the lead’s connector into the receptacle ofthe pulse generator without bending the lead.3. Using the pulse generator torque wrench, retract the setscrew(s)counterclockwise far enough to ensure unimpeded insertion ofthe lead connector(s) into the port(s).
