Equipment Modification
Do not modify this equipment. Modifications could impact device effectiveness
and adversely affect patient safety.
Line-powered Equipment
An implanted lead or lead with extension cable constitutes a direct, low-resistance
current pathway to the myocardium. Due to the danger of fibrillation resulting
from alternating current leakage, extreme caution must be taken to properly
ground all line-powered equipment used on or in the vicinity of the patient.
Electro surgery
Electro surgery can induce ventricular fibrillation, and thus should never be used
within 15 cm (6 inches) of an implanted lead system.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
All pacemakers operating in the demand mode respond to intra cardiac potentials
of a magnitude of a few millivolts. They are inherently sensitive to some external
fields. In the presence of excessive levels of interference the Model Zeus-1 may
inhibit completely or revert to asynchronous operation, pacing at the rate set by
the RATE knob. It is recommended that the device be set to an asynchronous
mode when operated in the presence of strong electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
Some sources of excessively strong EMI which may temporarily affect the
operation of the Model Zeus-1 are:
•
Electrosurgical equipment
•
Diathermy equipment
•
Some medical telemetry equipment (when operated within one meter
[several feet] of the pacemaker).
•
Communication transmitters such as cellular phones and “walkie talkies”.
•
Communication transmitters in emergency transport vehicles (in the
presence of an active pacemaker) and
•
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment.
