Patient follow‑up visits should be scheduled at an appropriate frequency so that ERI can be detected well
before end‑of‑life (EOL).
Clearing ERI
When the programmer displays a message that the device has reached ERI, you are able to clear ERI. For
additional information on clearing ERI, refer to the programmer's on‑screen help.
CAUTION: Programming to high output settings or a high Base Rate may shorten the time to ERI.
Programming to lower rates and outputs may restore normal battery status.
If the programmer displays an ERI warning message, the clinician should fully evaluate the device.
WARNING: At ERI, the nominal life of the device is six months. When the device exhibits signs of ERI
(described on the programmer's on‑screen help), it should be replaced expeditiously.
End-of-Life
End‑of‑life (EOL) occurs when the battery voltage has fallen to a level indicated below.
The approximate EOL battery voltage for all devices in 2.47V.
For additional information, refer to the programmer's on‑screen help.
Explanting the Pulse Generator
WARNING: Before explanting the system or disconnecting the leads from a pulse generator, program the
pulse generator to disable all pacing. In the event of the patient's death, deactivate the pulse generator
before post‑mortem examination.
Explant the device with standard surgical tools.
If a lead or adapter is explanted, be careful not to damage it during removal.
