Capture/Sensing Thresholds.
Capture and sensing thresholds should be determined with a PSA before
implanting the device. Connect the negative (black) PSA terminal to the portion of the lead terminal pin
corresponding to the tip electrode. Connect the positive (red) terminal to the ring electrode portion of the
lead pin for bipolar leads or to an indifferent electrode. For more information on conducting capture and
sensing threshold tests, please consult the PSA technical manual.
Establishing Baseline Capture/Sensing Thresholds.
After the leads have been implanted and before they are
connected to the device, establish and document the baseline morphology for capture and sensing thresholds
for each lead using a suitable recording system, such as a 12‑lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or an intracardiac
electrogram (IEGM).
Implantation
Physician Preparation.
The physician should be familiar with all components of the system and the material in
this manual before beginning the procedure.
Data Transmission.
Implant the pulse generator no deeper than 5 cm to ensure reliable data transmission
with the Merlin™ PCS or Merlin™ 2 PCS inductive telemetry wand. For MR Conditional pulse generators,
implant the pulse generator no deeper than 4 cm to ensure reliable data transmission with the
SJM MRI Activator™ handheld device.
Patient
Comfort. For patient comfort, do not implant the pulse generator within 1.25 cm of bone unless you
cannot avoid it.
Case Markings.
Examine the markings on the device case and verify proper atrial and ventricular connection.
Setscrew.
Exercise caution when turning the setscrew, which may be backed out of the connector if turned
counter‑clockwise for more than two rotations.

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!
