Expected service time after ERI
• The information is based on a lead impedance of 500 ohm at 100% pacing and the
data of the battery manufacturer.
• For a lead impedance of 300 ohm instead of 500 ohm, these times decrease by max.
30%.
• Parameter with high pacing energy:
110 bpm; 4.6 V; 1.5 ms; 500 ohm
• Parameters with low pacing energy:
30 bpm; 0,2 V; 0.1 ms; 500 ohm
• Dual-chamber device in DDD(R) mode;
Single-chamber device in AAI(R)/VVI(R) mode
Explantation and Device Replacement
Explantation
• Disconnect the leads from the header.
• Remove the device and, if necessary, leads using state-of-the-art technology.
• Explants are biologically contaminated and must be disposed safely due to risk of
infection.
Device replacement
The following applies to leads from a previous device that are intended for further use:
• Check the leads prior to connecting to the new device.
If, upon replacing the device, already implanted leads are no longer used but left in the
patient, then an additional uncontrolled current path to the heart can result.
• Insulate connections that are not used.
Basic principles
• The device must not be resterilized and reused.
Cremation
Devices should not be cremated.
• Explant the device before the cremation of a deceased patient.
Disposal
BIOTRONIK takes back used products for the purpose of environmentally safe disposal.
• Clean the explanted device with an at least 1% sodium hypochlorite solution.
• Rinse off with water.
• Fill out explantation form and send to BIOTRONIK together with the cleaned device.
