Operation – Therapy
ENG - Version 2.1 – P/N 04130.2 83
Pacer operation is indicated by the message “STIM” in the upper left corner of
the curve field.
When stimulation is performed, the message “STIM” is flashing. When “STIM” is
permanently displayed, the pacer is switched on (e.g. in DEMAND mode in a
frequency range in which no stimulation is necessary), but is not active (no
stimulation). Only when the pacer is switched off or paused, the message
“STIM” is not displayed.
The pacer continues to operate in monitoring mode.
If the user
• presses the On/Off key or
• switches to defibrillation mode
while the pacer is running, a confirmation prompt appears, warning that the
pacer is active. Switching off the pacer or switching to defibrillation mode can be
confirmed by pressing the softkey [OK] or aborted by pressing the softkey
[Cancel].
As long as the pacer is active, the corpuls
3
cannot be switched off or switch to
defibrillator mode without a prior confirmation prompt.
The pacer can only be operated when corPatch electrodes are connected to
the therapy master cable. The pacer is switched off automatically if a cable is
removed while running in pacer mode.
5.5.2 Preparing the pacer function
In FIX operating mode, pacing is performed with a fixed frequency, regardless
of the patient’s own heart rate.
WARNING
The pacer function and the ECG recording function are compromised if
adhesion of the corPatch electrodes or ECG electrodes is impaired due to
contaminated skin or excessive hair.
Only use corPatch electrodes indicated in the list of approved accessories.
The corPatch electrodes must no longer be used after the expiry date
indicated on the packaging has passed.
1. Prepare the patient (see chapter 5.2 Preparing the Patient for Defibrillation,
Cardioversion and Pacer Therapy, page 67).
2. If necessary, prepare ECG monitoring (see chapter 6.2.3 Preparing ECG
Monitoring, page 97).
