electromagnetic interference.

Note the effects of the storage duration; see Battery Data.
Delivery in shipment mode
The device is delivered in shipment mode to protect the battery; capacitor
reforming required during storage could result in controlled extended charge
times of the shock capacitors.

The shipment mode is displayed on the programmer after loading the device
program (it is deactivated during implantation on initial measurement of the
pacing impedance).

The device and screwdriver are packaged in two separately sealed blisters. The
inner blister is also sterile on the outside so that it can be transferred in a sterile
state during implantation.
