PRE-USE What to do ... What NOT to do ...

Battery

Do NOT ignore visible physical damage; the device may appear to work properly

immediately after being dropped or mishandled, but operational damage may

have occurred.

Check case for cracks/damage.

Check battery drawer for closure.

Check display for cracks/damage.

Physical

Condition

Do NOT use damaged leads or cables. Improper connection, displacement, or

fracture may result in pacemaker failure.

Do NOT reuse single-use cables.

Inspect cables and leads for possible defects, and secure

connection before each use.

Cables

Do NOT place the device in any area where the patient may interact with it.

Do not pla ce the tempora ry pacemaker i n any area outside

BASIC OPERATION

Connector Setup

1. Verify that the temporary pacemaker is turned off.

2. Plug the patient cable (5433, 5846, 5487) or surgical
cable (5832S, 5833S) into the socket on the connector
block on top of the temporary pacemaker.

3. Verify that the cable clicks when it is inserted into
the temporary pacemaker connector receptacle.
The audible click verifies that the plug is completely
inserted into the receptacle.

4. Pull gently on the cable after insertion to ensure a
good connection.

5. Connect the lead to the cable. Match positive (+)
and negative (-) leads to positive (+) and negative (-)
sockets or clips for the atrium or ventricle.

Note: To disconnec t the cable from the temporary pacemaker, do
the following:

1. Press the connector
release button on the
patient cable plug.

2. Gently pull the plug from
the receptacle.

BASIC OPERATION

To Turn On

§

Press and hold the On/Off button momentarily to turn
on the temporary pacemaker.

The screen and the backlight illuminate, a self-test is
initiated and the temporary pacemaker first searches for
cardiac activity and then begins sensing and pacing
(AAI/VVI mode).

§

When the temporary pacemaker is turned on, the
values are:

RATE: 80 ppm (range 30-200 ppm)
OUTPUT: 10 mA (range 0.1-25 mA)
SENSITIVITY: 2 mV (range 0.1-20mV)

Note: If the batteries are near ing depletion, a red back light begins
flashing behind the battery status indicator.

Warning: To prevent pacing i nto the vulnerable per iod of the T-wave,
turn on the temporary pa cemaker and turn down OUTPU T to the
minimum amplitude. Determine sensing thresholds before turning up
OUTPUT to the threshold values.

To Turn Off

1. Unlock the temporary pacemaker, if it is locked (see
following section).

2. Press the On/Off button for two seconds.

Note: If the On/Of f button is not held for two seconds, the tempora ry
pacemaker remains on and continues to pace at the currently
selected values.
