General Description

Product Description

Reocor S is a battery-powered, external single-chamber
pacemaker for in-clinic use. The pacemaker is connected to
temporary pacemaker leads (including myocardial heart
wires and transvenous implantable catheters). The connec-
tion is made directly or via a separate patient cable and
adapter, if necessary.
There are three pacing modes available: SSI, S00, SST as well
as a burst function.
Pacing mode, rate, sensitivity, pulse amplitude and burst rate
are adjustable.
LEDs display the sense (Sense), pace (Pace) and battery
status (Low battery). An acoustic signal sounds when a very
high frequency or very low sensitivity value is set and when
the lead impedance is not optimal.
A defect of the device (failed self-test after the device was
switched on) is indicated by continuously lit LEDs and an
intermittent acoustic signal. If the self-test does not find any
errors, the acoustic and visual signals will turn off after a few
seconds.
The safety features of Reocor S include:
• Visual display of sensed and paced events
• Microprocessor-controlled pacing parameters
• Lead impedance monitoring
• Visual warning when the battery is almost depleted
• A movable, transparent cover of the controls to prevent
accidental changes of the programmed parameters
Temporary catheters, heart wires, leads with 2-mm plugs can
be connected directly to Reocor S. Additional patient cables
and adapters are available, too. This system offers a secure
connection of transvenous catheters and myocardial leads,
which are applied either as unipolar or bipolar.

Indications

Temporary pacing with Reocor S is suitable for the following
applications for patients of any age:
• Treatment of arrhythmias and heart block
• Symptomatic sinus bradycardia
• Sick sinus syndrome
• Pre-, intra- and postoperative pacing of patients with
heart surgery
