Dual Chamber Temporary External Pacemaker
Description
The Medtronic 5392 Dual Channel Temporary External Pacemaker is a battery-powered temporary pacemaker designed to assist a cardiac pacing lead system for either a single or dual chamber temporary pacing. The Medtronic 5392 temporary pacemaker can be used as a quick way to control the patient’s heart rate. The Temporary Pacemaker offers short-term synchronous and asynchronous pacing therapy. The system runs on two LR6 (AA-sized) alkaline batteries. The temporary pacemaker emits a current pulse that can maintain a consistent value set by the dials on the system. Medtronic offers a few different dual-chamber pacemakers including the Medtronic 5388.
- Single Chamber pacing modes; AAI, TOO, VVI, and VOO
- Dual chamber pacing modes; DDD, DDI, DOO
- No pacing therapy; OOO
- Easy-to-view rate and output settings
- Pacing and sensing status indicators show the temporary pacemaker and the interaction with the heart
- Low battery indicator – shows when the battery needs to be replaced
- Four-dial operation that can provide therapy for most pacing needs
- Rate dependent parameters – rate adjustment automatically sets Upper Rate, PVARP, and A-V Interval
- Lock/Unlock key to safeguard against unintentional parameter changes
- Lower screen messages that help with the operation of the pacemaker
- Automatic sensitivity adjustment
- Automatic mode switch during atrial arrhythmias
