The PRIMEDIC Pacer XD is switched off by pressing the Pacer On- / Off-key. Simul-
taneously 3 acoustic warning signals are given.

If the PRIMEDIC Pacer XD is activated without the Pacer- / Defibrillation cable con-
nected to the socket of the Pacer XD, an acoustic warning is emitted and the message
"Pacer Electrodes Open" appears on the monitor.
If a warning sounds after activating the pacer for each pacemaker impulse, the device
has detected a deviation of ± 15 % from the set intensity. A possible cause of this can
be patient resistance that is too great. If a deviation of ± 30 % is detected, the device
interrupts the pacer process automatically.
The Pacer XD is powered by the battery of the PRIMEDIC
monitor the battery capacity gauge in the monitor during pacing. If the message
"Charge Accu" appears, the battery has to be recharged or exchanged to continue
the stimulation. If the Pacer is used with low battery harm to the patient by device
failures is possible.
If the activated PRIMEDIC™ pacer is operated for longer than 3 minutes, it switches
off automatically.
