PACE 203H – Instructions for Use
5I-17-016X-B-20 13 / 139
3 Indication
The PACE 203H DDD Temporary Cardi-
ac Pacemaker is designed to be used
with cardiac stimulation lead systems for
temporary atrial, ventricular or A-V se-
quential stimulation. PACE 203H has ap-
plications where such stimulation modes
are indicated for therapeutic, prophylac-
tic, or diagnostic purposes.
Specific indications include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Sick sinus syndrome;
• Bradycardia with congestive heart
failure;
• Complete heart block;
• Acute myocardial infarction compli-
cated with heart block;
• Sinus bradycardia;
• Cardiac arrest with ventricular
asystole;
• Atrial and/or ventricular ectopic ar-
rhythmia;
• Postoperatively after cardiac surgery;
• Temporary application during implan-
tation or exchange of a permanent
pacemaker.
Indication for atrial overdrive stimulation:
• Supra-ventricular tachycardia.
4 Contraindication
There are no contraindications with
regards to the use of PACE 203H for
temporary cardiac stimulation for therapy
and prevention of arrhythmia. The state
of health of the patient, however, can
restrict the choice of operational mode
and stimulation parameters.
For example, a mode of operation with
atrial sensing is not suitable or appropri-
ate when atrial fibrillation occurs. This is
due to the excessive and chaotic fre-
quency of detected fibrillation waves.
Overdrive-stimulation therapy must only
be used in the atrium. Overdrive-
stimulation in the ventricle could cause
life threatening ventricular fibrillation.
