Operating Notes

Attachment

Reocor D must be operated either horizontally on a
non-slip surface or affixed to the patient with an arm-
band, or from a hanging position on the infusion stand
using the hanger on the back of the device.
To attach Reocor D to an infusion stand, unscrew the
hanger from the back of the device. This ensures safe
operation and unburdens the patient cables.

Battery Exchange

When the Low battery LED (3) starts flashing, it indi-
cates that the battery is almost depleted. When using
® ®
the battery type MN 1604 Duracell Procell approxi-
mately 36 hours of service time remain. However, the
battery should be replaced as soon as possible.
Reocor D must be operated with a 9-V battery, inter-
national code IEC 6LR61. Only alkaline manganese
batteries should be used. When using the battery type
® ®
MN 1604 Duracell Procell , external pacing is possi-
ble for at least 500 hours at 20 ± 2°C before the battery
must be replaced.
It is possible to exchange a battery while Reocor D is 
in use. The device remains ready for use for at least
30 s at the ambient temperature (20 ± 2°C) when the
battery is removed.
For safety reasons, the patient should be paced by
another source during the battery replacement.
Do not use rechargeable batteries. The service time 
of these batteries is difficult to estimate, making it
possible to inadvertently exceed the ERI, resulting in 
a sudden loss of pacing.
The battery compartment (2) is located on the right
side of the device, and can be opened by pushing the
blue slider upwards and pulling out the drawer
towards the right. Remove the battery carefully.
To protect the battery poles, a rubber plug can be put
on the new battery. Remove it before you insert the
new battery.
