14.10. DEVICE IMPLANTATION
PARADYM RF DR 9550 should be implanted with the engraved side
facing outwards for optimal communication with the programming
head and radiographic identification.
Place the device in the pocket. Once in place, the defibrillator should
be no more than 4 cm below the skin surface.
Carefully wind excess lead and place in a separate pocket to the side
of the defibrillator.
It is recommended to not place any excess wire between the can and
the heart.
Suture the casing connector to the muscle using the hole provided
for this purpose, in order to avoid potential migration of the device
into the pectoral muscle.
14.11. TESTS AND PROGRAMMING
During the implant testing procedure, it is recommended that a
security margin of at least 10 J be demonstrated between the
effective shock energy and maximum programmable energy.
Enable shock therapies, then program the defibrillator.
Verify that the defibrillation lead impedance for each shock delivered
ranges from 30 to 150 ohms. Check the lead connection if the values
are outside these boundaries.
Save the programming data on the programmer’s hard disk and on
an external storage device (if desired).
