73 Operating Notes
Caution!
• Prepare patient: Place the leads but do not
connect them to the pacemaker yet.
• Prepare Reocor S:
• Set the pacing rate with the Rate control dial (12).
• Set the pacing amplitude with the Ampl. control
dial (6).
• Select the pacing mode with the dial Mode (13).
The device will be activated at the same time.
• After the internal self-test has been completed
successfully, the LEDs on the operating panel
simultaneously flash twice.
• If the Low battery LED (3) flashes, the battery
needs to be replaced (for battery exchange, see
page 74).
• Connect leads; the yellow Pace LED (4) flashes in
synchrony with the pacing pulses.
• Set the sensitivity with the Sens. control dial (7) so
that the green Sense LED (5) flashes in synchrony
with every sensed event.
• A sufficient safety margin should be considered to
ensure reliable sensing.
• Monitor the ECG of the patient and adjust amplitude
and/or sensitivity, if necessary.
During use of Reocor S, the heart rate of the patient
must be monitored with an ECG monitor with alarm
function.

Attachment
Reocor S must be operated either horizontally on a
non-slip surface or affixed to the patient with an armband,
or from a hanging position on the infusion stand
using the hanger on the back of the device.
To attach Reocor S to an infusion stand, unscrew the
hanger from the back of the device. This ensures safe
operation and unburdens the patient cables.
