Precautionary Measures while Programming
Consider power consumption
and service time
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.
• When programming large parameter values, take into account that the
replacement indication ERI will be reached very early because the service time
of the battery may be reduced to less than 1
year.
Home Monitoring: The CardioMessenger should be relatively close to the patient; if
it is too far away, the device constantly seeks and consumes more power than
necessary.
• Home Monitoring ON reduces the service time by approximately 15% in single-
and dual-chamber devices and by approximately 10% in triple-chamber devices.
Wandless telemetry: 15 minutes of usage reduces the service time by
approximately 7 days.
• Do not establish unnecessary wandless telemetry.
•After 5 min without input, the device switches to the economy mode.
• Check the battery capacity of the device at regular intervals.
