Implanting
Implantation site In general the pacemaker is implanted subcutaneously or subpectorally on the
right depending on the lead configuration as well as the anatomy of the patient.
Sequence Proceed as follows:
1 Shape the implant pocket and prepare the vein.
2 Implant the leads and perform measurements.
3 Connect implant and leads.
The implant starts auto-initialization on its own.
4 Insert the implant.
5 Guide the fixation suture through the opening in the header and fixate
the implant in the prepared pocket.
6 Close the implant pocket.
7 Prior to testing and configuration, wait for the successful completion
of automatic implant initialization.
Note: If necessary, the implant can also be programmed before or during auto-
initialization.
