Reversion to an asynchronous operation

Premature triggering of the elective replacement indicator
RF ablation risks may be minimized by:
▪
▪
Programming a non‑rate responsive, asynchronous pacing mode prior to the RF ablation procedure
▪
▪
Avoiding direct contact between the ablation catheter and the implanted lead or device
▪
▪
Positioning the ground plate so that the current pathway does not pass through or near the device
system, for example placing the ground plate under the patient's buttocks or legs
▪
▪
Having a programmer available
▪
▪
Having external defibrillation equipment available
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
▪
▪
Advise patients that Electronic Article Surveillance/Anti-theft (EAS) systems such as those at the point of
sale and entrances/exits of stores, libraries, and banks; or tag readers that include radio frequency
identification (RFID) equipment such as those used for access control, asset tracking, animal
identification, and vehicle immobilizers, emit signals that may interact with the device and inhibit or
cause abnormal pacing. To minimize the possibility of interaction, advise patients to simply walk through
these areas at a normal pace and avoid lingering near or leaning on these systems.

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!
can batteries be replaced in your model no. PM2272 pacemaker
