General Remarks

Caution! The connections of Reocor D and the temporary
pacing leads must be secured and checked regularly.
After the device is switched on, Reocor D executes a
Self-test
self-test for a few seconds. This includes:
• Check of the program code and the microproces-
sor
• Memory test
• Function test of the LEDs and the acoustic signals
• Test of the pacing and sensing capability
• Test of the efficacy of high rate protection
When the self-test finds a defect, all LEDs flash con-
tinuously and acoustic warning signals sound. In this
case, the pacemaker must be turned off and sent to
BIOTRONIK.
If the self-test did not find any errors, Reocor D begins
delivering pacing pulses in accordance with the
programmed parameters. The negative electrode
(cathode) should therefore only be connected when 
it has been ensured that the pacing mode, pacing 
rate, pulse amplitude and sensitivity have been pro-
grammed correctly.
Setting the rotary switch for the operating mode to
OFF prevents pacing pulses from being delivered to
the patient immediately after connecting the leads.
