Reocor S - BIOTRONIK USA - News

57 General Description
Behavior
during use
Pacing with
high rates
• During use of Reocor S, the protective cover must
be completely closed to prevent accidental resetting
of the programmed parameters.
• Secure Reocor S either horizontally on a non-slip
surface or on the patient with an armband, or
operate it from a hanging position on the infusion
stand using the hanger on the back of the device.
• Reocor S must not be worn directly on the skin.
• During use of Reocor S, the heart rate of the
patient must be monitored with an ECG monitor
with alarm function.
• In case of disturbances caused by electromagnetic
interference (EMI), Reocor S will switch to operating
mode S00 when certain limits are exceeded.
• Pacing the heart with rates higher than 180 ppm
over a long period of time can cause severe hemodynamic
complications. Pacing with high rates
should only be performed when continuous monitoring
is ensured.
Behavior after use • 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 79.
Battery operation • Do not use rechargeable batteries. The service
time of these batteries is difficult to estimate,
making it possible to inadvertently exceed the
ERI 1) time, resulting in sudden cessation of pacing.
