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.
