Cardiac Airbag Technical Manual
Shock Impedance
- If the shock impedance is less than twenty-
five ohms, reposition the lead system to allow a greater distance
between the electrodes. Never implant the device with a lead
system that has measured shock impedance as less than
twenty-five ohms. Damage to the device may result.
Programming Wand
- Throughout the EP Test session, the
programming wand must be positioned and remain directly over
the device. If appropriate arrhythmia detection does not occur
shortly after induction, remove the programming wand from the
ICD and perform external defibrillation.
Data Transmission
-
Data collection and transmission may take
up to 30 seconds. The ICD cannot be reprogrammed during this
time even if the
[Emergency]
key is pressed. Remove the
programming wand immediately to restore the permanent
program.
EP Test Functions
-
Ensure that cardiac resuscitation
equipment is available during all EP Test Function operations.
Physicians should be trained and experienced in
tachyarrhythmia induction, conversion protocols, and have
adequate training and experience with this device prior to use.
Potential side effects include:
•
Non-terminable arrhythmia’s that result in death
•
Complications from hypoxia due to prolonged
arrhythmia’s
•
Arrhythmia induction that requires cardioversion or
defibrillation
•
Arrhythmia induction that requires pharmacologic
treatment, to which the patient could have an adverse
reaction
1.4.3 Lead Evaluation and Connection
Capping Leads
- If a lead is abandoned rather than removed, it
must be capped to ensure that it is not a pathway for currents to
or from the heart.
Gripping Leads
- Do not grip the lead with surgical instruments
or use excessive force or surgical instruments to insert a stylet
into a lead.
