Paent 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
addional informaon on clearing ERI, refer to the programmer's on‑screen help.
CAUTION: Programming to high output sengs or a high Base Rate may shorten the me to ERI.
Programming to lower rates and outputs may restore normal baery 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 expediously.
End-of-Life
End‑of‑life (EOL) occurs when the baery voltage has fallen to a level indicated below.
The approximate EOL baery voltage for all devices in 2.47V.
For addional informaon, refer to the programmer's on‑screen help.
Explanng the Pulse Generator
WARNING: Before explanng the system or disconnecng the leads from a pulse generator, program the
pulse generator to disable all pacing. In the event of the paent's death, deacvate the pulse generator
before post‑mortem examinaon.
Explant the device with standard surgical tools.
If a lead or adapter is explanted, be careful not to damage it during removal.
