DefiMonitor XD 21324 / GB / K05
If, for example, the QRS-markers do not appear on the screen or appear
in the wrong position, this may be the result of extreme fluctuation in the
mains supply. In this case, the device should be disconnected from the
mains, i.e. the mains plug should be pulled out of the socket and the
device operated via the integrated PRIMEDIC™ AkuPak battery. Keep
an eye on the capacity reading on the display during pacing.
If the message < Charge battery > appears, the battery must be
recharged or replaced before stimulation can continue. If this is not
done, there may be danger to the patient as a result of the device failing.
If more than 3 minutes elapse without the PRIMEDIC™ Pacer being operated, it
switches off automatically.
12.2 Setting the Pacer operating modes
The Pacer can be operated in three different modes:
• DEMAND (default setting)
• FIX
• OVERDRIVE
Stimulation is only carried out “as required”. i.e. only if the
spontaneous heart rate falls below the set DEMAND rate.
Fixed-rate stimulation. Independent of the spontaneous heart
rate, a fixed heart rate is imposed.
Overstimulation of the heart with high-frequency fixed-rate
stimulation (max. 250 1/min) to stop, for example, ventricular
tachycardia.
The operating mode DEMAND is automatically activated when the Pacer is switched on. The
operating mode is displayed in clear text on the monitor.
To select a different operating mode, press the operating mode button once or repeatedly until
the desired operating mode appears on the monitor.
No stimulation pulses are emitted while the operating modes are being set.
