Programming the Status Reset Command
For information about the Elective Replacement Indicator (ERI) or about
Electrical Reset, refer to the respective sections in Chapter 16.
Verifying or Clearing an ERI Status
If a screen message indicates that the pacemaker Elective Replacement
Indicator (ERI) has been set, you can use the Status Reset command to
verify present battery status as follows:
1. Select the
Status Reset
from the parameters listed on the Additional
Parameters screen.
2. From the option window, select
RESET
.
3. Position the programming head and select [
PROGRAM
]. Continue to
hold the programming head steady while the pacemaker automatically
tests the present condition of its battery.
During this test, the pacemaker paces asynchronously at 100 ppm for
several beats. (During these beats in a dual chamber mode, the AV
interval will be 100 ms.)
If the test verifies the ERI status, no reset will occur.
If battery voltage has recovered, the ERI status is cleared, and you
can proceed to reprogram the parameter settings.
Clearing a Pacemaker Electrical Reset
The Status Reset command can also be used to clear a full pacemaker
electrical reset condition. Indication that a full electrical reset has occurred
is VVI pacing at 65 ppm and, in some cases, a pacemaker serial number
set to all zeros (000000). Refer to Chapter 16 for an explanation of “full
electrical reset” versus “partial electrical reset.”
IMPORTANT: If a full electrical reset has occurred , you should contact
your Medtronic representative after using the Status Reset command to
clear this condition.
To clear a full electrical reset condition:
1. Select the
Status Reset
from the parameters listed on the Additional
Parameters screen.
2. From the option window, select
RESET
.
3. Position the programming head and select [
PROGRAM
]. Continue to
hold the programming head steady until confirmation is received.
All parameters, including the pacemaker serial number, can now be
reprogrammed to their proper settings.
