Automatic Model Selection
To use the automatic model selection feature:
1. Position the programming head over the patient’s pacemaker.
2. Select the [
AUTOMATIC MODEL SELECT
] button on the screen or the
INTERROGATE
key on the programming head.
NOTE: It is not necessary to select the applicable chamber. The
[
ATRIUM
] and [
VENTRICLE
] buttons on the Automatic Model Select
screen do not apply to Prodigy pacemakers.
3. Continue to hold the programming head steady until a message at the
center of the screen confirms pacemaker identification.
Model Identified — Upon automatic identification of the pacemaker
model (which takes a few seconds), the programmer begins “loading” the
appropriate application program. This process may take up to 15 seconds.
Display of the Pacing Parameters screen (see next section) indicates that
model selection is complete and you may proceed.
NOTE: If the pacemaker model identified is not a model from the Prodigy
family of pacemakers, refer to the appropriate programming guide supplied
with the software installed in your programmer. The front cover of each
guide lists the pacemaker families covered in that guide.
Model Not Identified — If a message states that the pacemaker model
cannot be identified, reposition the programming head and repeat step 2
above or use the Manual Model Selection procedure described below.
Automatic identification of the pacemaker model will not occur if the
programming head is not properly positioned or if the presence of strong
electrical interference interrupts telemetry between the programmer and
pacemaker.
Manual Model Selection
If the pacemaker model cannot be identified by the automatic model selec-
tion feature, select the pacemaker manually as follows:
1. From the Automatic Model Select screen, select the pacemaker type:
[
SINGLE CHAMBER MODELS
] or [
DUAL CHAMBER MODELS
].
2. From the list of options displayed, select the desired Prodigy group.
If there are more model options than can be displayed on one screen,
a [
