Follow-up Options

Temporary program activation facilitates a quicker and safer follow-up.
All test programs that could be hazardous to the patient should only be
activated temporarily. If a dangerous situation arises, the permanent
program can be reactivated immediately by removing the programming
wand. Temporary programming is also terminated by the following:
• Interrogating the implant
• Transmitting the magnet effect and patient data
• Saving the follow-up data in the implant
• Interrogating and beginning statistics
• Transmitting settings for statistics (AF/AFL range) and IEGM
recordings
If you want to have sensing intact during temporary programming, do
not program the magnet effect to "asynchronous."
When the pacemaker is interrogated, the permanent program is always
displayed, even while a temporary program is active. During magnet
application, i.e., during temporary program activation, the rate
adaptation and the event counters are always inactive.
Note: If you are terminating a temporary program by
removing the programming head, make sure that
the distance between the programming wand and
the pacemaker is large enough (at least 10 cm or 4
inches). This is to ensure that the reed switch in
the magnet really opens.
