Home and Industrial Environments
▪
▪
A variety of devices produce electromagnetic interference (EMI) of sufficient field strength and
modulation characteristics to interfere with proper operation of the pulse generator. These include:
high‑powered radio, television, and radar transmitters/antennas; high‑voltage transmission lines; home
appliances; arc or resistance welders; equipment with large motors; induction furnaces; very large or
defective electric motors; and internal combustion engines with poorly shielded ignition systems.
▪
▪
The patient should avoid strong magnetic fields since they are potentially capable of affecting the pacing
mode and rate. If a patient is frequently in a high‑magnetic‑field environment and therefore at risk of not
pacing properly, you may choose to program the device to ignore magnetic fields. Pacing would then be
delivered in the normal manner and application would have no effect on operation.
▪
▪
Advise patients to not play sports or engage in activities where there is a risk of repetitive blows to the
implanted device area.
▪
▪
Twiddler's Syndrome: Caution patients against manipulating the implanted device as it may result in lead
damage or lead displacement.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
▪
▪
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) may interfere with device function. To reduce
interference, place the TENS electrodes close to one another and as far away from the device/lead system
as possible. Monitor cardiac activity during TENS use.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation in patients with a pulse generator may cause any of the following:
▪
▪
Asynchronous pacing above or below the programmed rate

Do you have a question about the Endurity Core and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My mother has model number PM2272 cardiac pacemaker. Can she have MRI Done. She has been in hospital for 3 days. Doctors want do a MRI until they hear from manufactory. Makes no since. They have her card info.
@Tori Garvin, of couse 1.5T and 3T
The Abbott Endurity Core PM2272 is not listed among the MR Conditional devices in the provided context. Before performing an MRI scan on a patient with this pacemaker, it is necessary to contact Abbott Medical or consult regulatory authorities to determine if it is approved for MRI use.

@Mr. Anderson PM2272 isn't Endurity Core, It's Assurity MRI; of couse 1.5T and 3T MRI Scan
Abbott pacemaker PM2272, is it safe for Hyperbaric oxygen therapy? If so, at what ATA- 2 or 2.5 safe? Please email the information to me if possible. Thank you!
Is Abbott Endurity 2162 Pace Maker MRI compatible ?
can batteries be replaced in your model no. PM2272 pacemaker
No, the battery in the Abbott Core PM2272 pacemaker cannot be replaced separately. When the battery reaches the end of its lifespan, the entire pacemaker must be replaced.
