Preparing The Pocket; Choosing The Type Of Lead; Measurement Of Thresholds At Implant - sorin REPLY DR Manual De Implante

 Interrogate the device: if a warning is displayed or if battery
impedance is too high (> 2 kilohms), do not implant the device
and contact your Sorin CRM representative.
Devices MUST NOT be interrogated and programmed within the
vicinity of other devices.
Also check the integrity of the sterile package. The sterility of the
contents is no longer guaranteed if the package has been pierced or
altered. If the pacemaker is no longer sterile, it should be returned in
its packaging to your Sorin CRM representative. Any re-sterilization
of the unit is at the discretion of Sorin CRM.

5.2. PREPARING THE POCKET

Because of the orientation of the pacemaker connector, it is
advisable to create the pocket in a left pectoral position.
In its final position, the pacemaker should be no more than 4 - 5 cm
below the skin surface.

5.3. CHOOSING THE TYPE OF LEAD

For optimal use of pacemaker functions, the atrial lead should be
bipolar. If a unipolar atrial lead is used, the Autosensing function will
not be available.
Use of a high polarization ventricular lead interferes with normal
operation of the Auto-threshold function.
Connections:
compatible. Low profile type leads are not compatible.
5.4. MEASUREMENT OF THRESHOLDS AT
IMPLANT
Pacing and sensing thresholds should be measured at implant.
The pacing/sensing connectors
