PRECAUTIONS
_________________________________________________________________
General
Continuous ECG monitoring is necessary prior to pacing and during any pacing
procedure. Facilities for defibrillation, I.V. infusion, end tracheal intubation and
oxygen administration must be immediately available.
These miniature External pacemakers are protected against damage due to
defibrillator procedures, but care should be exercised in the placing of the
defibrillator electrodes away from the pacing leads.
Great care should be exercised when using diathermy in association with any
cardiac pacing system. Adequate monitoring must be used.
Mains (Line) powered monitoring equipment is to be avoided when pacing, since
even very less alternating leakage currents flowing through the heart may cause
ventricular fibrillation. If mains (line) powered equipment is used, the
manufacturers, or the person responsible for safety within your organization
should be consulted on the safest method of connection.
The miniature External pacemaker described in this manual is not waterproof, and
they must not be autoclaved or irradiated.
We recommend that only trained Pacetronix staff performs other repair and
maintenance operations.
We recommend the External pacemaker should be checked for calibration at
every six months interval.
CAUTION: The control knobs are individually calibrated. The External
pacemaker will require to be re-calibrated if they are removed for any reason.
Random Failures
The physician should be aware that the Model Zeus-1 Temporary Pacemaker can
fail due to a number of reasons, such as random component failure, battery
depletion, and mishandling. Possible malfunctions of the Model Zeus-1 can
include:
