Programmer Tests; Interrogating The Memories (Aida+) - sorin REPLY DR Manual De Implante

The explanted pacemaker should not be reused in another patient.
All explanted pacemakers should be returned to your Sorin CRM
representative carefully cleaned of all traces of contamination.
Cleaning can be achieved by immersing the pacemaker in an
aqueous sodium hypochlorite containing at least 1% chlorine,
followed by rinsing copiously with water.
The pacemaker should be packaged so as to protect against the
mechanical impact and temperature variations that may occur during
shipping.

8.4. PROGRAMMER TESTS

The programmer is designed to:
 perform impedance tests on the atrial and ventricular leads,
 perform pacing threshold tests in asynchronous mode,
 determine the amplitude of sensed atrial and ventricular waves,
 display the patient's ECG with temporarily modified programming
parameters (e.g., to observe the patient's subjacent rhythm),
 perform electrophysiologic studies (bursts and atrial and
ventricular extrastimulus sequences).

8.5. INTERROGATING THE MEMORIES (AIDA+)

Interrogating the memories provides:
 the battery depletion curve,
 statistics since the last follow-up,
 6-month curves and histograms for evaluating device operation,
 recorded episodes (fallback mode switching, atrial and ventricular
bursts, switches from AAI to DDD) including intracardiac ECGs,
 diagnostic messages about events detected by the device.
