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. The magnet response is set as follows in
the standard program of BIOTRONIK pacemakers:
• Asynchronous:
For the duration of the magnet application – mode D00 (where applicable
V00 / A00) without rate adaptation;
Magnet rate: 90 bpm
•Automatic:
For 10 cycles – mode D00, subsequently mode DDI without rate adaptation;
Magnet rate: 10 cycles with 90 bpm, subsequently set basic rate
• Synchronous:
Note: See also the replacement indication information for magnet response at ERI.
Mode DDD (where applicable: VVI) without rate adaptation;
Magnet rate: set basic rate
Magnet application by patients
If patients are performing their own magnet application, the synchronous magnet
response must have been programmed. Patients should also know the following:
• When may the magnet be used?
In cases of severe dizziness and indisposition.
• How long is the magnet placed on the pacemaker?
1 to 2 s.
• What happens when the magnet is applied?
The IEGM of the last 10 seconds is stored.
• What has to happen after magnet application?
The patient has to contact the physician for a follow-up.
