Implantation
▪
▪
Ensure that a separate standby external defibrillator is immediately available.
Diathermy
▪
▪
Avoid diathermy, even if the device is programmed off, as it may damage tissue around the implanted
electrodes or may permanently damage the pulse generator.
Electrosurgery
▪
▪
Do not use electrosurgical devices in the vicinity of an implanted device. If electrocautery is necessary,
use a bipolar cauterizer or place the indifferent electrode as far from the device as possible.
Lithotripsy
▪
▪
Avoid lithotripsy unless the therapy site is not near the pulse generator and leads as lithotripsy may
damage the pulse generator.
Therapeutic Radiation
▪
▪
Do not use therapeutic ionizing radiation in the vicinity of an implanted device. Radiation therapy may
damage the electronic circuitry of the device. Any damage to the device by therapeutic ionizing radiation
may not be immediately detectable.
Ultrasound Treatment
▪
▪
The device should not be exposed to therapeutic levels of ultrasound energy, as the device can
inadvertently concentrate the ultrasound field and cause harm that might not be immediately detectable.
Diagnostic ultrasound treatment is not known to affect the function of the device.
