Note:
Reocor S is a highly developed precision device that
must be treated with care. Mechanical impact, e.g. by
dropping the device, can impair its function.
Please return the device to BIOTRONIK in case of
damage or impaired function.
Prior to use, the pacemaker should be stored at least
two hours under the ambient conditions specified for
operation (see page 85).
Housing, operating devices, connections, and patient
cables must be visually inspected for mechanical
damage, deformation, loose parts, cracks, and dirt
before each use.
Never use a damaged device or a device that exhibits
abnormal behavior; especially if it has been dropped
or could have been damaged by high-frequency or
defibrillation voltage.
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.
A moist cloth and, if necessary, mild soap can be used
to clean Reocor S. Strong cleaning agents or organic
solvents (such as ether or gasoline) should be
avoided, as these can corrode the plastic housing.
For disinfection, wipe the device with a cloth soaked
with a disinfectant solution (e.g. Aerodesin 2000 or
Lysoform D). When mixing the solution, follow the
dilution measure stated by the manufacturer.
After cleaning or disinfection, Reocor S must not be
used for one hour.
