Storage and transportation• If the packaging is damaged, please contact BIOTRONIK immediately. Do not
put the device into operation.
CAUTION
Functional impairment due to external damage
Mechanical impact, for example dropping the unit - even from a height of over 5
cm if unpackaged - can permanently impair the function of the system.
• Do not use the device if it shows visible damage.
• Contact BIOTRONIK for testing and, if necessary, repair of the equipment.
Installation siteOnly operate the device in rooms that fulfill the following conditions:
• No danger of explosion
• Suitable for medical purposes
• Class I power outlet with protection cable connection
Place the device on a flat, dry surface. It should be placed so that it can not slip even
with the cable connected and so that the patient can only come into contact with the
applied parts, namely the programming head and ECG cable.
Power supplyThe device is operated via the 230 V / 50 Hz or 115 V / 60 Hz AC current of a room
used for medical purposes. The electrical port must fulfill the following conditions:
• The network installation fulfills at least the requirements of IEC 60364-7710:2002 group 1.
• The device cable feeds directly into a permanently installed socket. No portable
power strips are connected in between.
• When used in combination with other devices, no portable multiple socket
outlets should be used.
• Only those power connection cables can be used which are suitable for medical
devices, e.g. BIOTRONIK power cords (see Accessories, p. 49) or power cords of
equal value labeled H05VV 3 x 0.75 mm, H05VV 3 x 1 mm or SJT AWG18.
Cable and plug connections• Replace any cable that shows even slight damage.
• Lay all cables between the patient and the device, as well as within the
measuring apparatus, in such a way that they pose no danger of tripping over
them and that any tensile forces that may occur can be safely buffered.
• As a general rule, cables should only be connected or disconnected when the
device is switched off, unless expressly permitted in the corresponding section
of this technical manual.
• Ensure that the contacts of all connections and plugs are clean. Soiled contacts
can lead to signal distortions, and thus to false diagnoses.
• Ensure that there is no condensation on the plugs or in the connector ports. If
condensation is present, dry it before use.
• Do not force plugs into the connector ports and when disconnecting the plugs,
do not pull on the cable to release the lock.
• All lead connections are swap-safe and encoded at the lead connectors.

14Safety During Use
Electromagnetic Interference
Possible electromagnetic
interference
The programmer is protected from disturbances resulting from electromagnetic
interference, electrostatic discharges and other sources, including interference
from cables. Simultaneously, the emitted interference has been reduced to a
minimum. Thus the programmer conforms to the requirements of EN 60601-1-2
(in its valid form at the time of delivery).
However, strong electromagnetic interferences that occur in the close vicinity of
electrical motors, power cables, PCs, monitors, or other – possibly defective – electrical devices may compromise the function of the programmer in certain cases.
This kind of device malfunction should be considered if the following is observed:
• The device switches on by itself.
• The device senses false intrinsic events in the ECG, IEGM or marker channel
(artifacts).
• The device displays other inexplicable functions.
Correct operation of the device can be restored with the following:
• Switch off the malfunctioning electronic device.
• Remove the source of interference from the device.
• Switch the programmer on and off or break the electrical connection between
the device and the source of the interference as much as possible without
causing any danger.
If the interference continues, contact BIOTRONIK immediately.
Note: If accessories other than those specified by BIOTRONIK are used,
increased interference or lower resistance to interference can be expected.
Note: If accessories specified by BIOTRONIK are used on other devices,
increased interference or lower resistance to interference can be expected.
Note: Portable radio communication devices can interfere with the programmer
functioning.
EMI testThe telemetry between the programming head and the implanted device can be
impaired by electromagnetic interference (EMI). This can be observed when it
becomes difficult or even impossible to interrogate or program the implanted
device. Using the EMI test (refer to device software help), the source of the electromagnetic interference can be located and then turned off.
