SECTION 8
NON-INVASIVE TEMPORARY PACING
(PACER VERSION ONLY)
Non-invasive Temporary Pacing
Some M Series products contain a VVI demand
pacemaker — a safe and effective design for
Noninvasive Temporary Pacemakers. Proper demand
pacing requires a reliable high quality surface ECG
signal.
Determine patient condition and provide care following
medical protocols.
Prepare Patient
Remove all clothing covering the patient’s chest. Dry
chest if necessary.
1
Apply Electrodes and MFE Pads
Apply ECG electrodes (see the ECG MONITORING
Section). Connect to ECG cable. Adjust ECG size and
lead for a convenient waveform display. Verify proper R-
wave detection. The heart-shaped symbol flashes with
each R-wave when proper detection is taking place.
Apply MFE Pads
Apply MFE Pads according to the instructions on the
pouch.
Ensure that all electrodes are making good contact with
the patient’s skin and are not covering any part of the
other electrodes.
Connect MFE Pads to the Multi-Function cable.
2
Turn Selector Switch to PACER
Set Pacer Output to 0 mA
If the unit has just been turned on, the PACER OUTPUT
will automatically be set to 0 mA.
Paddles are a defibrillation protected Type BF patient connection.
ECG leads are a defibrillation protected Type CF patient connection.
WARNING
• To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not touch the gelled area of the MFE Pads while pacing.
• MFE Pads should be replaced after 8 hours of continuous pacing (2 hours for Radiolucent
stat•padz) to ensure maximum patient benefit.
• Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes), particularly in neonates or adults with severely
restricted blood flow, may cause burns. Periodic inspection of the underlying skin is
recommended.
• If the unit was not turned off and less than 10 minutes have elapsed since the pacing mode was
last used, reactivating the pacer mode causes pacing to immediately resume at the previously
selected mA and ppm settings.
