Explantation And Device Replacement; Parameters; Timing - BIOTRONIK Evity 6 Manuel Technique

Explantation and Device Replacement

Explantation
• Disconnect the leads from the header.
• Remove the device and, if necessary, leads using state-of-the-art technology.
• Explants are biologically contaminated and must be disposed of safely due to risk of
infection.
Device replacement
The following applies to leads from a previous device that are intended for further use:
• Check the leads prior to connecting to the new device.
If, upon replacing the device, already implanted leads are no longer used but left in the
patient, then an additional uncontrolled current path to the heart can result.
• Isolate unused lead connectors and close unused connector ports.
Basic principles:
• The device must not be resterilized and reused.
Cremation
Devices should not be cremated.
• Explant the device before the cremation of a deceased patient.
Disposal
BIOTRONIK takes back used products for the purpose of environmentally safe disposal.
• Clean the explant with a solution of at least 1% sodium hypochlorite.
• Rinse with water.
• Fill out explantation form and send to BIOTRONIK together with the cleaned device.
