Distinguishing ERI from Full Electrical Reset
Like the Elective Replacement Indicator (ERI), a full electrical reset puts a
Prodigy pacemaker in VVI mode at 65 ppm, as described in the section
“Electrical Reset” in Chapter 16. Prodigy pacemakers are designed to be
less susceptible to electrocautery, defibrillation, and so forth, than previous
generation Medtronic pacemakers, and only extreme electromagnetic
disturbances can trigger a full electrical reset. If the pacemaker is in a full
electrical reset condition and the ERI status is not set, use the programmer
“Status Reset” command to clear the reset condition and reprogram the
pacemaker. If after interrogating the pacemaker a message appears on the
programmer screen/printout indicating the Date/Time memory has been
altered, contact your Medtronic representative for further information.
For Further Information
See Section G in Part III, “Hospital, Medical, Home, and Job Environment
Interference”. See Section C in Part III under “Elective Replacement
Indicator (ERI)” applicable to the ERI for the specific Prodigy pacemaker
model. Also, see Section C in Part III under “Longevity Projections” for
Prodigy pacemaker operating life.
