Magnet response at ERI
After reaching ERI pacing is performed as follows after applying the magnet or
programming head:
Expected service time after ERI
• The information is based on a lead impedance of 500 ohm at 100% pacing and the
data of the battery manufacturer.
• Parameter with high pacing energy:
110 bpm; 4.6 V; 1.5 ms; 500 ohm
• Parameters with low pacing energy:
30 bpm; 0.2 V; 0.1 ms; 500 ohm
• Interval from ERI to EOS with triple-chamber device is DDD(R) mode in the stan-
dard program and both with high and low pacing energy:
— Mean value: 8 months
— Minimum value: 6 months
Explantation and Device Replacement
Explantation
• Disconnect the leads from the header.
• Remove the device and, if necessary, also remove the leads using state-of-the-art
technology.
• Explants are biologically contaminated and must be disposed safely due to risk of
infection.
Device replacement
The following applies to leads from a previous device that are intended for further use:
• Check the leads prior to connecting to the new device.
If, upon replacing the device, already implanted leads are no longer used but left in the
patient, then an additional uncontrolled current path to the heart can result.
• Insulate connections that are not used.
Basic principles
• The device must not be resterilized and reused.
Cremation
Devices must not be cremated.
• Explant the device before the cremation of a deceased patient.
Disposal
BIOTRONIK takes back used products for the purpose of environmentally safe disposal.
• Clean the explant with an at least 1% sodium hypochlorite solution.
• Rinse off with water.
• Fill out the explantation form and send it to BIOTRONIK together with the cleaned
device.
