— The set energy should not be higher than necessary for defibrillation. — The distance between the leads of the cardiac defi- brillator and the leads of Reocor S should be at least 10 cm. — After a defibrillation, Reocor S must be switched off and then on again so that the device can perform a complete self-test.
— Move the interference source to a location where the interference cannot have an affect on the Reocor S. — If safe to do: Switch Reocor S off and on again to reset the pacemaker to interference-free operation. — If the technical failure persists, please contact BIOTRONIK.
The connections of Reocor S and the temporary pacing leads must be secured and checked regularly. Self-test After the device is switched on, Reocor S performs a self-test for a few seconds. This includes: • Check of the program code and the microprocessor •...

Push the cover all the way down to the stop and then remove Caution! During use of Reocor S, the protective cover must be locked to prevent inadvertent resetting of the rotary switch and con- trol dial, and thus of the programmed parameters.

Figure 4: Redel adapter for Reocor S Reocor S can be used with the following patient cables and adapters: • Patient cable PK-83-B with two screw terminals for tem- porary leads on the patient side and Redel plug on the Reocor S side (use the Redel adapter).
Page 17
Patient cable PK-67-L and PK-67-S Patient cable PK-67-L (2.6 m) and PK-67-S (0.8 m) differ only in length. On the Reocor S side you have a Redel plug (use the Redel adapter) and on the patient side a connection for the adapter according to Figure 13 and for the single-use cable according to Figure 9.
Page 18
Reocor S can also be used with patient cables with 4 connec- tions for dual-chamber pacemakers. Reocor S only uses the ventricular channel of these cables. The following cables are possible: • Patient cable PK-141 with 4 alligator clips on the patient side and Redel plug on the Reocor S side (use the Redel adapter).
Page 19
• Adapter Figure 13 shows adapters for connection of temporary leads to Reocor S through the dual-chamber patient cable PK-67- L/S. The leads should be connected with the ventricular con- nection of the adapter (labeled V). Figure 13: Adapters for the patient cables PK-67-L and PK-67-S...

Temporary catheters with 2-mm plugs or heart wire with 2-mm adapter You have the option to connect Reocor S directly to a tempo- rary catheter with touch-proof 2-mm plug or to a heart wire with 2-mm adapter, without any other cables or adapters. All...

For dual-chamber cables (PK-141, PK-175, PK-67-S/L), Reocor S uses only the ventricular channel! Polarity Reocor S principally paces in bipolar mode, but it can be used with bipolar or unipolar temporary pacing leads. If unipolar leads are used, two leads must be connected.
Monitor the ECG of the patient and adjust amplitude and/or sensitivity, if necessary. Caution! During use of Reocor S, the heart rate of the patient must be monitored with an ECG monitor with alarm function. Attachment Reocor S must be operated either horizontally on a non-slip...
, external pacing is possible for at least 600 hours at 20 ± 2°C before the battery must be replaced. It is possible to exchange a battery while Reocor S is in use. The device remains ready for use for at least 30 s at the ambi- ent temperature (20 ±...

Insert the new battery with the bottom (Figure 14) down first into the battery compartment. Figure 14: Inserting the battery Close the drawer and press the blue slider down until it snaps in place with an audible click. Note: If the pacemaker is stored or will not be used for a long period of time, it is recommended to remove the battery to prevent damage due to leakage.
There are three pacing modes available: S00, SSI, SST as well as high-frequency pacing (Burst). For disturbances caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI), after certain limits are exceeded Reocor S will switch to operating mode S00 for the duration of the disturbance. Mode S00 The pacemaker sends pulses with a constant rate.
Pulse Amplitude and Pulse Width The pulse amplitude can be set with the Ampl. control dial (6) within a range from 0.1 V to 17 V. If a value less than 1 V is set, the device will sound a warning signal for two seconds. The pulse width is 1 ms.

Various risks have to be considered in association with high- frequency atrial pacing. The risks possible ventricular pacing and ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. This can be caused by poor placement of the leads or the presence of anomalous stimulus conduction paths that circumvent the normal atrio- ventricular stimulus conduction (e.g.
After cleaning or disinfection, Reocor S must not be used for one hour. Sterilization Reocor S cannot be sterilized. If the device needs to be used in a sterile environment, it can be packed into a sterile cover. Annual checks of the device by manufacturer-authorized technicians are recommended.
Reusable Patient Cables Prior to opening, the package of a sterile cable must be inspected for damage to determine whether sterility has been compromised. Cleaning The reusable patient cables can be cleaned and disinfected with hospital cleaning agents following many different methods.
Disposal Reocor S is marked with the symbol of a crossed-out garbage can on its type plate. The symbol indicates that the European guideline 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE directive) applies to the disposal method of the device.
The closed protective cover protects the pacemaker against dripping water. WARNING! The temporary leads that are connected to Reocor S repre- sent a low-impedance conductor to the myocardium for elec- tric current. Therefore line-powered devices that are oper- ated in the patient's vicinity must be grounded in accordance with established guidelines.
