static electricity immediately prior to touching the patient, the cable, leads or
pacemaker.
Termination of Pacing
Abrupt termination of pacing stimuli may result in periods of asystole before an
intrinsic rhythm is established. Prior to terminating pacing, a gradual reduction in
pacing rate, using the demand mode, is recommended.
Battery
Replace the battery for each new patient, and when the low battery indicator
appears during device operation. Check the battery status at least twice daily.
Replace alkaline batteries no less than every seven days during continuous use of
the temporary pacemaker.
Use of batteries with different physical dimensions from that of the recommended
batteries may result in erratic, or no pacing output. Inspect the contacts on the
battery for visible signs of contamination prior to use. Use of batteries with
contamination on the contacts may result in erratic, or no output. Failure to ensure
that the battery drawer is fully latched may result in a loss of power.
Unauthorized Changes of Pacemaker Settings
Do not place the Model Zeus-1 in any area where patients may interact with it.
The temporary pacemaker should be placed in an area that minimizes tampering
with the device by unauthorized personnel (patients, visitors, etc.).
A-V Interval
Programming long A-V intervals may result in pacing the Ventricle during the
vulnerable period of Ventricular re-polarization, thus precipitating ventricular
arrhythmias in unstable patients.
