English
Temporary pacing with Reocor S is suitable for the
following applications for patients of any age:
• Treatment of arrhythmias and heart block

with heart surgery
• Termination of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias
• Prophylactic pacing for prevention of arrhythmias

Contraindications
• Reocor S cannot be sterilized and is therefore not
suitable for use within the sterile field.

for patients with existing AV conduction disturbances.
• The use of an external pacemaker is contraindicated
in the presence of an active, implanted
pacemaker.
Potential Side Effects

cable is inadvertently disconnected, the leads are
loosened or the settings are incorrect) or pacemaker
dependency.
