Device Information
The document is related to older generation pacemaker models, specifically Affinity, Entity, Integrity, Identity, Sustain, Frontier, and Zephyr models.
No specific device model or type is mentioned in the first two pages of the manual.
Potential Effects of Electrocautery
The document discusses the temporary changes in function that may occur in older generation pacemakers exposed to electrocautery, including loss of capture due to a reduction in pacing output voltage. It emphasizes the importance of assessing patient dependence on the implanted device before using electrocautery and recommends precautions to ensure heart rate support in the presence of electrocautery.
A software manual for recent generations of pacemakers (Accent and Anthem) and ICDs is excluded from this consideration.
