3 Implantation Implantation Procedure Implantation Implantation3417802Technical ManualEvity 6/8 Implantation Procedure Having parts ready The following parts that correspond to the requirements of the EC Directive 90/385/EEC are required: • Device with screwdriver from BIOTRONIK • BIOTRONIK leads and lead introducer set — Single-chamber device: unipolar or bipolar lead for the right ventricle — Dual-chamber device: one unipolar or bipolar lead each for the atrium and for the right ventricle —
Implantation site Implantation Implantation Procedure In general, the pacemaker is implanted subcutaneously or subpectorally, depending on the lead configuration as well as the anatomy of the patient. Overview: Implanting 1 Shape the device pocket and prepare the vein. 2 Implant the leads and perform measurements. 3 Connect device and leads. 4 Insert the device. The device starts auto-initialization on its own.
Implantation Implantation Procedure Connecting the lead connector to the device 1 Remove stylets and stylet guides. 2 • • • Applying the programming head Establishing wandless telemetry 3 Push the lead connector into the header without bending the conductor until the connector tip becomes visible behind the set screw block. 4 If the lead connector cannot be inserted completely, the set screw may be protruding into the drill hole of the set screw block.
Implantation Precautionary Measures while Programming Precautionary Measures while Programming ! CAUTION Safety information The programming of device systems requires special precautions. • Please carefully take all precautionary measures into account. Checking the device system • • Performing standard tests and monitoring the patient Do not interrupt wandless telemetry during a treatment After auto-initialization, perform a follow-up to see if the device system is functioning properly.
Implantation Precautionary Measures while Programming Preventing device-induced complications BIOTRONIK devices are equipped with several functions to prevent device-induced complications to the greatest extent possible: • Measure the retrograde conduction time. • If the function is not yet automatically set: activate PMT protection. • Set the VA criterion: The aim is to set a VA criterion that is longer than the longest measured retrograde conduction time.
Consider power consumption and service time Implantation Precautionary Measures while Programming The pacemaker permits programming of high pulse amplitudes with long pulse widths at high rates to be able to adequately treat even rare diagnoses. In combination with low lead impedance, this results in a very high level of power consumption.
Implantation Magnet Response Magnet Response Programming head application When the programming head is applied, time remains for device interrogation before the device switches back to the previously set permanent therapy mode. The same applies to programming head application to establish wandless telemetry contact. Magnet response in standard program Applying a magnet or the programming head can result in an unphysiological rhythm change and asynchronous pacing.
Implantation Follow-up Follow-up Follow-up intervals Follow-up with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring® Follow-ups must be performed at regular, agreed intervals. • Following the lead ingrowth phase, approximately 3 months after implantation, the first follow-up should be carried out by the physician using the programmer (in-office follow-up). • The next in-office follow-up should be carried out once a year and no later than 12 months after the last in-office follow-up.
Implantation Patient Information Patient Information Patient ID card A patient ID card is included in delivery. • Provide the patient with the patient ID card. • Request that patients contact the physician in case of uncertainties. Prohibitive signs Premises with prohibitive signs must be avoided. • Possible sources of interference Draw the patient's attention to prohibitory signs. Electromagnetic interference should be avoided in daily activities.
Implantation Replacement Indications Replacement Indications Possible charging status The time span from the beginning of service (BOS) to elective replacement indication (ERI) is determined by, among others, the following: • Battery capacity • Lead impedance • Pacing program • Pacing to inhibition ratio • Pacemaker circuit properties The following are the defined pacemaker operational statuses: • BOS: Beginning of Service: > 90% • ERI: Elective Replacement Indication (i.e.
Magnet response at ERI Expected service times after ERI Implantation Replacement Indications After reaching ERI, pacing is performed as follows after applying the magnet or programming head: Magnet response Cycles 1 to 10 After 10th cycle Automatic Asynchronous with 80 bpm Synchronous with basic rate reduced by 11% Asynchronous Asynchronous with 80 bpm Asynchronous with 80 bpm Synchronous Synchronous with basic rate reduced by 11% Synchronous with basic rate reduced by 11% The informatio
