PACE 203H – Instructions for Use 

5I-17-016X-B-20 

11 / 139 

2  Product Description 

PACE 203H is a dual chamber external 
cardiac pacemaker with atrial controlled 
timing for routine temporary heart stimu-
lation. All the usual modes of stimulation 
are available for treatment of acute 
brady-arrhythmia and for pre-, intra-, and 
post-operative stimulation of the heart.  
The stimulation parameters are easily 
adjustable by rotating dials through a 
wide range of values. 
PACE 203H offers the possibility for 
atrial overdrive stimulation, or rapid atrial 
pacing, for terminating supra-ventricular 
tachycardia. The rate of the overdrive 
stimulation is adjustable within a wide 
range and is independent of the selected 
stimulation rate. The overdrive rate can 
be determined before, and changed 
during overdrive therapy. If required, 
overdrive stimulation can be initiated 
with the touch of a button. The overdrive 
stimulation is indicated optically and 
acoustically. 
A medical grade AC power supply allows 
AC operation of the pacemaker while 
preserving the battery energy. During AC 
operation a fully charged battery must be 
in the battery compartment as a backup 
for AC power failure. 

(The AC power 

supply option is not available in USA and 
Japan.) 

The functional design of PACE 203H 
allows safe and easy operation for all 
requirements of DDD stimulation. 
In addition, PACE 203H offers the follow-
ing features: 

  During battery changes, stimulation 

will be maintained for at least 
30 seconds (provided fully charged 
internal capacitors). 

  A non-volatile memory keeps any 

desired stand-by program ready for 
use, even if the device is shut off. 

  An individualized standard program  

is available for each primary pacing 
mode. 

  An emergency program can be “cal-

led up” by pressing the emergency 
key. 

  A burst- and a ramp function are 

available for atrial overdrive-stimu-
lation. 

  An Unlock/Lock button protects 

against accidental change of the set 
parameters. 

  The set parameters and (error) mes-

sages are shown on a liquid crystal 
display. 

  The detection of the intrinsic heart 

activity as well as the emission of 
stimulation impulses are shown sep-
arately by blinking LEDs for both atri-
um and ventricle. Additionally, a 
beep-tone can be switched on when-
ever desired. 

  System malfunctions that occur are 

indicated optically and acoustically. 

  A lead surveillance system indicates 

interruptions and short circuits. 

  When a battery change is required, 

optical and acoustic alerts are pro-
vided. 

  During dual chamber pacing, an 

automatic mode for adapting A-V De-
lay, maximum tracking rate (MTR), 
and PVARP is available. 

  An automatic mode for adjusting the 

sensitivity in both the atrium and ven-
tricle may be chosen.
