Functioning Test At Implant - sorin REPLY DR Manual De Implante

Caution: 1. Do not tighten the pre-inserted screws when there is no
lead connector inserted (this could damage the connector block).
2. Do not loosen the screws before inserting the lead connector
(subsequent risk of being unable to reinsert the screw). 3. Use only
the screwdriver provided with the pacemaker. Maintain the
screwdriver's shaft perpendicular to the plane of the pacemaker (see
figure below).
Warning: Ensure that the screwdriver's tip is fully inserted in the
setscrew; otherwise the screwdriver can damage the setscrew
and prevent connection with or disconnection from the lead.
To ensure full insertion, push the screwdriver's hex tip smoothly into
the setscrew until it reaches the bottom of the hex chamber in the
screw, which could be felt as a solid metallic contact. Do not implant
the pacemaker if there is no feeling of solid metallic contact. Do not
implant the pacemaker if the wrench does not click when attempting
to tighten the setscrew on the lead pin.
