38 Using Renamic
Communication with Active Implanted Devices
Software The interaction/communication between the Renamic programmer and active
implanted devices is controlled using software specific to each implanted device.
• The software is installed on the Renamic device drive by BIOTRONIK employees.
• Software can only be updated on site by BIOTRONIK employees or by those
authorized by BIOTRONIK.
Interrogating and program-
ming the implanted device
BIOTRONIK implanted devices can communicate with Renamic in both directions
via the programming head. As soon as the programming head is correctly posi-
tioned over the implanted device, the program data and all data stored in the
implanted device can be transmitted to the Renamic programmer.
Depending on the implanted device, a large number of adjustable parameter sets
are available. These parameter sets are combined and saved in the program that is
currently active. The Renamic programmer can detect obvious programming
errors and requires that these errors be corrected before the program is trans-
ferred to the implanted device.
The following programs can be transmitted:
• Permanent program
• Temporary program
•Safe program
A temporary program is a program that the pacemaker uses to provide temporary
pacing as long as the programming head is in position.
A permanent program is a program that is programmed in the pacemaker using
the programming head and which performs pacing permanently without telemetry
contact to the programming head.
A safe program is a device-specific program used for safety pacing with high energy
in either VVI or SSI mode.
Data transfer The follow-up data can be saved, sorted and/or exported as follows:
• Connect an external PC system for data processing (e.g., CDM 3000)
• Connect an external printer for printing out all data, with the exception of real-
time ECGs
• Connect a USB flash drive
Reports Internal printer for printing out the complete documentation:
• All follow-up reports such as program and test data as well as saved data
• All real-time ECGs, ECGs, IEGMs, event markers
Note: Use of a temporary program can be stopped at any time and the permanent
program of the implanted device can be automatically reactivated with the
following:
• Removing the programming head
Or:
• Switching off the programmer.
