All major therapeutic approaches from the field of cardiology and electro- ® physiology are unified in this pacemaker family. BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring enables physicians to perform therapy management at any time. Required expertise In addition to having basic medical knowledge, the user must be thoroughly familiar with the operation of a device system.

Product Description Programmer Implantation and follow-up are performed with BIOTRONIK's portable programmer: There are programmers with integrated or external SafeSync Module for RF telemetry. The programmer is used during implantation to transfer the current device program to the device. The pacing thresholds can be determined and all tests can be performed during in-office follow-up.

Sensing in the atrium and ventricle Pulse inhibition and pulse triggering Rate adaptation Multisite pacing in both ventricles BIOTRONIK In addition to effective pacing therapy, BIOTRONIK provides a complete therapy ® Home Monitoring management system: • With Home Monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic information and technical data are automatically sent to a stationary or mobile transmitter via an antenna in the device header.
Product Description Diagnostic and Therapy Functions General overview All the systems have extensive features that allow quick diagnosis and delivery of safe therapy for bradycardia conditions. • Automatic functions make it easy and fast to implant, configure, and check the pacemaker.

Product Description Programs There are two types of therapy programs: • Default parameters are offered for the most common indications (Program Consult function). • Individual settings can be saved in 3 individual therapy programs. Home Monitoring functions The device automatically sends information to the transmitter once a day. Addition- ally, the test messages can be initiated using the programmer.
— Technical manuals for cables, adapters and accessories • Technical manuals are either included in hard copy form in the storage package or in digital form on the internet: manuals.biotronik.com • Follow all relevant technical manuals. • Preserve technical manuals for later use.
(EMI) sensed as intrinsic rhythm or if measurements prevent rate adaptation. • BIOTRONIK devices have been designed so that their susceptibility to EMI is minimal. • Due to the intensity and variety of EMI, there is no guarantee for safety. It is generally assumed that EMI produces only minor symptoms in patients - if any.
• Adhere to instructions for potentially risky therapeutic and diagnostic proce- dures. • Shield device against radiation. • After applying radiation, double-check the device system to make sure it is func- tioning properly. Note: Please contact BIOTRONIK with questions on the risk/benefit analysis.

Implantation Connecting the lead Disconnect stylets and stylet guides. connector to the device • Connect the unipolar or bipolar IS-1 lead connector ventricle to RV. • Connect the unipolar or bipolar IS-1 lead connector atrium to A. • Connect the unipolar or bipolar IS-1 lead connector ventricle to LV. Push the lead connector into the header without bending the conductor until the connector tip becomes visible behind the set screw block.
Implantation Precautionary Measures while Programming Checking the device system • After auto-initialization, perform a follow-up to see if the device system is func- tioning properly. • Perform a pacing threshold test to determine the pacing threshold. Performing standard tests Critical conditions can occur for the patient even during standard tests due to inad- and monitoring the patient equate parameter settings or interrupted telemetry.

Preventing conduction BIOTRONIK devices are equipped with several functions to prevent conduction of of atrial tachycardia atrial tachycardia to the ventricle(s): • Set Mode Switching for indicated patients.
Applying a magnet or the programming head can result in an unphysiological standard program rhythm change and asynchronous pacing. The magnet response is set as follows in the standard program of BIOTRONIK pacemakers: • Asynchronous: For the duration of the magnet application – mode D00 (possibly V00 / A00) without rate adaptation;...

Implantation Replacement Indications Possible battery levels The time span from the beginning of service (BOS) to elective replacement indica- tion (ERI) is determined by, among others, the following: • Battery capacity • Lead impedance • Pacing program • Pacing to inhibition ratio •...
BIOTRONIK takes back used products for the purpose of environmentally safe disposal. • Clean the explant with a solution of at least 1% sodium hypochlorite. • Rinse with water. • Fill out explantation form and send to BIOTRONIK together with the cleaned device.
