Precautions about the Pacemaker
WARNING
 Minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can
occasionally interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic
equipment, causing the pacemakers to pace at their maximum
programmed rate. The cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment
may possibly send wrong information.
If such event occurs, disconnect the cardiac monitoring and diagnostic
equipment, or follow the procedures described in the operation manual
of the pacemaker.
(For more details, contact FUKUDA DENSHI personnel, your
institution’s professionals, or your pacemaker distributors.)
