Residual Risk
Safety During Use
Risk analysis The risk analysis carried out by the manufacturer's Risk Management Team has determined that the residual risk is as low as reasonably possible.
It is a prerequisite that the programmer has been serviced and inspected according to the manufacturer's specifications by qualified medical staff and in compliance with the safety-relevant instructions in this technical manual.
10 |
Safety During Use |
|
|
General Safety Instructions
Technical manual Only use the programmer in accordance with this technical manual.
Risks of improper handling Disregarding the safety instructions can endanger the patient, the staff and the equipment.
Note: Failure to observe the safety precautions voids all damage claims and manufacturer liability.
The following dangers may arise in the event of improper use:
•Failure of important device functions
•Personal endangerment due to electrical effects
Changes not permitted Only the manufacturer or a party expressly authorized by BIOTRONIK may perform corrective maintenance, enhancements or modifications to the device.
Replacement parts and To ensure safety compliance, use only original replacement parts and accessories accessories authorized by BIOTRONIK. Using any other parts voids the manufacturer's liability
for any consequences, guarantee and warranty.
Defects Do not use defective or damaged devices.
Physician supervision The device should only be used under the constant supervision of a physician. During operation of the device, it is necessary to monitor the patient’s heart rate and ensure that for each stimulation, the display of events and their results (using an external ECG monitor) is plausible.
Patient observation Ensure that patients are individually observed over a suitable period of time in order to monitor the compatibility and effectiveness of parameter combinations.
Emergency equipment Always ensure that in the event of an emergency the following basic equipment is available:
•Defibrillator
•Intubation set
•Oxygen
•Emergency drugs
For pacemaker-dependent patients, an additional external pacemaker must also be available.
Life support system Do not use this device as a life support system.
Liquids • Never use a damp or wet device.
•Protect the device from the accidental ingression of fluids (e.g. infusion fluids).
Electrostatic potentials Ensure that electrostatic potentials between medical staff and patients are balanced. Before handling the device, the electrostatic potential between the doctor or medical staff and the patient must be balanced by touching the patient at a point as far away from the leads as possible.
11 |
Safety During Use |
|
|
External ECG device During the implantation procedure, the patient's heart rate should be additionally monitored using an ECG monitor or ECG recorder.
Defibrillation • When connected with the authorized ECG cable, the device is protected against defibrillation energy. Following a defibrillation, check all functions of the programmer.
•During defibrillation, do not touch the patient, the programmer the patient is connected to or the attached accessories. Otherwise, there is a danger that you may suffer an electrical shock.
12 |
Safety During Use |

Operating Conditions
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 site Only 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 supply The 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 60364-7- 710:2002 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.
Patient environment This device may be used in the patient environment.
13 |
Safety During Use |
|
|
Place the device on a flat, dry surface so that the patient can only come into contact with the applied parts, namely the programming head and ECG cable.
The physician must not touch any connections such as USB ports or interfaces for modules or the programming head and the patient at the same time.
Use with other devices The device may not be used on the patient in conjunction with high frequency surgical equipment.
Start parameters and Once switched on, the device functions according to BIOTRONIK's default settings default settings or the user-defined start parameters.
Note: In addition to BIOTRONIK's default start parameters, the user-defined start parameters can also be saved and recalled.

Safety During Use |
|

Electromagnetic Interference
Possible electromagnetic The programmer is protected from disturbances resulting from electromagnetic interference 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 test The 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.
