1.1 Introduction
The
EXPMT 2000
pacemaker analyzer is an advanced microprocessor
based test instrument designed to accurately measure the output
parameters of all external pacemakers, including both transthoracic and
transcutaneous devices.
The instrument is easy to use via the menu structure presented on
a large four line LCD display. Resulting measurements of the tests
performed are simultaneously shown on the LCD display.
The
EXPMT 2000
is compact, lightweight, and rugged. It may be
operated with one 9 volt battery or with an optional AC adapter. A standard
RS232 serial port allows for printing and storage of results with optional
printers and PDAs.
1.1.1 Pacemaker Test Functions
The EXPMT 2000 makes several measurements of external
transthoracic, transvenous, and AV pacemakers.
1.1.1.1 Transthoracic Pacers
Test load: 50 Ohms or 12 user selectable loads from 100 to 1000 Ohms
using the plug in test load selector.
Measures: Peak current, pulse width, pulse rate, paced refractory period,
sensed refractory period, and pulse energy.
1.1.1.2 Transvenous Pacers
Measures: Peak current, pulse width, pulse rate, paced refractory period,
sensed refractory period, immunity test (50Hz/60 Hz), A/ V interval, and
pulse energy.
Measures: the current drain of the pacemaker using the optional adapter
(PN: 652-BATT).
1.2 Safety Considerations
Before using the EXPMT 2000, the operator must follow the safety
precautions listed in this manual.
