Evia Technical Manual 123
A temporary program is a pacing program which remains
activated while the programming head is positioned over the
pulse generator. Upon removal of the programming head (at
least 15 cm away from the pulse generator), the temporary
program will be automatically deactivated and the permanent
program will again be in effect.
Generally, every pacing program displayed on the programmer
screen may be transmitted as a temporary program by pressing
the key designated on the programmer keyboard. With few
exceptions, this also applies to pacing programs containing a
parameter conflict, which cannot be programmed as permanent
programs. Temporary programming facilitates follow-up and
enhances patient safety. Test programs affecting patient safety,
like pacing threshold measurements in a pacemaker-dependent
patient, should be activated as a temporary program only.
When interrogating the pulse generator, the permanent program
will always be displayed and documented, even though a
temporary program was activated during the interrogation.
During temporary program activation, the rate adaptation, trend
monitor, and the event counter are always inactive.
9.4 Patient Data Memory
Individual patient data can be stored in the pulse generator's
memory. The stored data is automatically displayed upon each
interrogation. The amount of data stored is determined by the
software version being used. The patient data memory contains
the following data categories:
•
Patient Index (Code)
•
Patient Name
•
Date of Birth
•
Gender
•
Symptom
•
Etiology
•
ECG Indication
•
Physician
•
Implantation Date
•
Lead Polarity (A / V)
•
Lead Type
•
Lead Manufacturer
•
Lead Position
•
