Software SWM 1000/B-KT0.0

This software must only be used for follow-ups involv­ing BA03 DDDR pacemakers.
The BA03 DDDR and Actros DR pacemakers are han­dled almost the same way.
Please consult the Actros DR
K00.0 manual for a description of Actros DR features In addition to the descript ion in the SW M 1000/B-K00.0
manual, the following special features are included in the B-KT0.0 software:

Home Monitoring

Transmission
of message
The pacemaker BA03 DDDR is the newest member of the Actros treatment of bradycardia arrhythmia. The pacemaker is identical to the Actros DR
+
family, that consists of pacemakers for
+
in that it is a rate adapt ive, dual chamb er sy stem with se parat e atr ial and ventr ic ­ular leads and is suited for patients who need AV syn­chronous pacing. BA03 DDDR has the functionality of a current DDDR pacemaker and is additionally equipped with the Home Monitoring function
This function is part of a complete Home Monitoring system, in which information about the cardiac condi­tion of the patient can be transmitted using wireless technology between implant, patient and physician. The Home Monitoring function is used to obtain mes­sages from the implant and to compile these mes­sages into tables and graphs. Thus, the course of the therapy can be optimzied by setting up an additional follow-up between regularly scheduled visits, if neces­sary.
The implants’ Home Monitoring function
can be used during the entire service time of the implant or in shorter periods, e.g., a few weeks or months.
For the transmission of the message, the implant is equipped with a small transmitter that has a range of approx. 2 m. The patients’ implant data is transmitted to the respective patient device in certain, adjustable periods. The minimum distance between implant and patient device is 15 cm. The patient can activate the transmission himself by application and immediate removal of a magnet o ver the implant .
Patient device
with components
The patient device (Fig.1) is developed for home use and consists of a mobile unit and the r espective charg­ing station. The patient can also carry the mobile unit with them in their normal daily activi ties .
The patient device rechargeable batteries that make an operating time of about 24 h possible. The patient device receives messages from the implant and for-

Family tech nical manu al.

Criteria for using Home Monitoring

There are no contraindications for use of the Home Monitoring function. This function has no influence on the diagnostic or therapeutic functionality of the pace­maker. The patient must be capable and willing to manage certain tasks associated with Home Monitor­ing. Usage of the Home Monitoring system i s inappro­priate in the following cases:
The patient can not handle the system as intended, because of their physical or psychological condition.

There is no GSM cellular service available in the local area of the patient’s home.

The patient often stays (i.e. works) in areas where it is not permitted to use mobile phones.

. The special cri-
Note: Home Monitoring does not replace the regular fol-
low-up examination. When using the Home Monitoring function, the time interval between the follow-ups must not be pro­longed.
Caution:
The da ta tran smitte d by Ho me Mo n itoring are not suitable for diagnosis, because not all information avail able i n the implant is being transmitte d .

Transmission of Message

Transmission of Message
The Home Monitoring function can be switched ON or OFF with the programming device. If the Home Moni­toring function is active, the transmission of the implant data can be triggered as follows:

Periodic message at predefined time intervals

Message activated by the patient The attending physician himself decides if the patient
should trigger a transmission by programming this paramater ON or OFF. The patient activated message does not effect the programmed periodic message.
Note: Please note that with the BA03 DDDR, the Home Mon-
itoring f u nc tio n is only poss ibl e in fol l ow ing pacing modes: DDD, DDDR, DDI, DDIR.

Periodic Message

The time and interval (Monitoring Interval) of the peri­odic message are programmable. For the periodic message, a time between 0:00 and 24:00 can be set. Generally, it is recommended to select a time between 0:00 and 4:00. For every Monitoring Interval, a data string is generated in the implant and the transmissi on is act ivate d.

Patient Activated Message

Application of a magnet over the implant activates a transmission. The attending physician should inform the patient in detail about the handling and the physical symptoms that suggest a magnet applicatio n by the patien t.
Caution:
The magnet effect must be programmed "synchro­nous" if the attending physician enables the patient to transmit messages.

Diagnostic Memory Functions

Diagnostic Memory Functions

BA03 DDDR has the same standard functions as the Actros DR unavailable. Contrary to the Actros DR DDDR has the ability to use all memory functions simultanously.
When the Home Monitoring function is activated, the following diagnostic memory functions are recorded automatically and transmitted by the Home Monitoring System:

Event Counter

The fun ction Event Counter can record the following events:

The BA03 DDDR pacemaker is equipped with an RF transmitter for wirele s s communic ati o n s. This tra nsm i tte r is authorized by rule unde r the Medical Im pla nt Co m mun ication s S ervic e (47 CFR Par t 95) and must not cause harmful interference to stations operating in the
400.150 - 406.000 MHz band in the Meteorological Aids (i.e., trans­mitters and receivers used to communicate we ath e r data), th e Meteoro­logical Satellite, o r the Earth Exploration Sate l l ite Services and must accept interference that may be caused by such aids, including interfer­ence that may cause undesired operation. This transmitter shall be used only in acco rda nce wit h the F C C Rul es gov erning the Medical Implant Co mmunications Service. Analog and digi tal voice communi ­cations are prohibited. Although this transmitter has been approved by the Federal Com mu ni cati ons C o mmis sion , there is no guarante e that it will not receive interference or that any particula r tr an smission from this transmitter will be free from interference.

The FCC ID number for this device is: PG6BA0T.
