Interrogate
The first action to be carried out in order to access the information of the pacemaker is
Interrogate. After interrogating, the model, serial number, battery condition, and the
different programmable parameters are shown on the screen.
Once the SMART-E Programming Head Model SEH-11 is placed over the implant
zone, the leds blink on the LED bar of head and the interrogation action can be
performed in any of the following different ways.
1. Press the button in the SMART-E Programming Head Model SEH-11.
2. Click on the
Interrogate
button of the toolbar.
3. Activate the Tool menu and choose the INTERROGATE option.
If an error occurs, check the following: maybe the SMART-E Programming Head
Model SEH-11 is more than 50 mm (air gap) far from the pacemaker (no blinking
light); maybe the interface is off or it is not connected. Correct the situation and retry
by clicking on the
Retry
button of the message box.
If the interrogation is successful, the different parameters of the pacemaker (which
vary according to the model) appear on the screen (programming screen)
Some of the parameters are just informative and cannot be modified. They are:
Model:
The pacemaker model appears in the title bar
Serial :
The pacemaker serial number
Battery status:
Battery Status of Pacemaker
If it is necessary to immediately transmit a safe set of values to the pacemaker,
the
Urgent programming
button on the toolbar, or the <F4> key on the keyboard can
be used. Bear in mind that the <F4> key may be pressed anytime, even having dialog
boxes opened in the SPL software Windows screen.
Each model has its own screen in which the programmable parameters appear. The
detailed list of the parameters and their allowed values of each model, are included at
the end of this Manual.
It is possible that the values of related parameters become inconsistent. In those cases,
SPL software will show an error message explaining the conflict situation.
