grammer/Recorder/Monitor (PRM), is a portable cardiac rhythm manage-
ment system designed to be used with certain models of Guidant implant-
able pulse generators. Refer to the Guidant physicians system manual for the pulse generator being interrogated for instructions on programming the pulse generator. Intended Use The Model 2920 PRM is intended to be used as a complete system to communicate with Guidant implantable pulse generators. The software in use controls all communication functions for the pulse generator. Refer to the physicians system manual for the pulse generator being interrogated for detailed software application instructions. Contraindications See the physicians system manual for the Guidant pulse generator for contraindications for use. The Model 2920 PRM is contraindicated for use with any pulse generator other than a Guidant device. Precautions General
Use only the appropriate Guidant programmers equipped with the ap-
propriate software to program Guidant pulse generators. The Model 2920 PRM is designed to be used only with the Model 6577 Sterilizable Telemetry Wand. Do not use the Model 6575 Telemetry Wand with the Model 2920 PRM.
Use only the supplied stylus with the Model 2920 PRM; the use of any other object could damage the touchscreen. NOTE: Use of the stylus is recommended for accuracy; however, touch-
ing the screen with your finger will also activate a selection. Preparation for Use
Remove the telemetry wand from all packaging material before steril-
ization with steam.
Avoid establishing telemetry communication between the PRM and the pulse generator when the PRM is in close proximity to monitors, high-frequency electrosurgical equipment, and strong magnetic fields, such as MRI devices. The telemetry link may be impaired and, in the case of MRI, may interfere with the PRM. Maintenance and Handling
Do not use an abrasive cloth or volatile solvents to clean any portion of the PRM. 1
Keep disks away from magnets and magnetized objects, including telephones, power supply adapters, and monitors.
Do not use a head cleaning kit intended for standard disk drives on this disk drive. The PRM is not waterproof or explosion proof. It should not be used in the presence of flammable gas mixtures including anesthetic mix-
ture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.

NOTE: Use of the stylus is recommended for accuracy; however, finger touches will also work on the screen. Indicators Telemetry Indicator Light The Telemetry Indicator Light on the keypad illuminates when telemetry has been established and interrogation or programming is occurring (Fig-
ure 5). Power On Indicator Light The Power On Indicator Light, located below the screen, is lit when the PRM is turned on. MAINTENANCE AND HANDLING Loading the Paper The internal printer/recorder uses 4-inch wide (110 mm) thermosensitive printing paper. Model 6979 Printer Paper refills can be ordered from Guidant. Use the following procedure to load paper into the internal printer/
recorder:
1. Open the printer door. 2. If any sheets from the previous pack remain, but did not feed, remove these and rotate the roller with clean fingertips to remove any small pieces of paper still under the printhead. 3. Unfold one sheet of paper and orient the pack such that the sensitive side is up and the pagination mark is at the bottom of the paper. Slip the pack into the printer/recorder. NOTE: You must use paper with pagination markings. Paper will not paginate properly if paper does not have markings. 4. Allow the unfolded sheet to lay straight between the guides on the right of the printer/recorder. 5. Close the printer door completely. The printer/recorder will automati-
cally begin the paper-loading sequence and will stop at the first pag-
ination mark after paper is detected. If the papers edges are wrin-
9 kled, let 4 or 5 pages feed through-the printer will self-align the paper to its proper position. The printer/recorder is now ready to resume printing. For information regarding loading paper into the optional external printer, refer to the user manual for the printer. Thermal Paper Storage Store the heat-sensitive paper for the internal printer/recorder in a cool, dark environment. Do not attempt to erase the printer/recorder paper. Printed paper will last approximately 30 days under direct fluorescent light. To ensure the permanence of the patients record, store the printed paper away from direct sunlight, heat, or fumes from organic com-
pounds. Storage temperatures above 65C, sustained exposure to direct sunlight, or exposure to high humidity, acetone, ammonia, alcohols, or other organic compounds may cause the paper to discolor. NOTES:
If printed reports are to be kept for prolonged periods, you must make a photocopy of the thermosensitive paper as thispaper is not intended for long-term retention, and will lose legibility over time.
Some brands of adhesive tape applied to a printed report will fade the printing after 30 days. Cleaning the PRM Clean the housing and touchscreen of the PRM with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. Clean the printer/recorder with a dry, soft brush to eliminate dust and par-
ticles that may accumulate during printing and storage. CAUTION: Do not use an abrasive cloth or volatile solvents to clean any portion of the PRM. The cables used with the PRM are not packaged sterile. When neces-
sary, clean the cables with a soft cloth dampened with a mild cleaning so-
lution (eg, Liqui-nox for the sterilizable telemetry wand; Borax or a 1:10 bleach solution for other cables). Using the same method, wipe them completely with sterile water and towel or air dry. DO NOT use an ultra-
sonic cleaner nor immerse the cables. Clean the sterilizable teleme-
try wand in the same manner, allowing no fluids to enter the wand cavity. See the Preparation for Use section for sterilization in-
structions. 10 Patient Data Disk The Model 6627 Patient Data Disk must be inserted with the arrow on the top left side and pointing into the disk drive (Figure 6). Be certain that the write-protect tab is closed on the disk (Figure 7). Insert a patient data disk firmly into the disk drive on the right side of the PRM until the disk ejection button protrudes. NOTE: Refer to the physicians system manual for complete instructions on using the patient data disk. Disk Drive Disk Ejection Button Patient Data Disk Arrow on top and pointing to the disk drive Figure 6. Disk drive on the right side of the PRM. Caring for Disks Floppy disks can be damaged easily, making them unusable. To prevent damage to the disks, observe the following:
Write on labels before applying them to disks.
Use only a felt-tipped pen to write on a label that is already applied to a disk.
Keep food and beverages away from disks and away from the PRM.
Keep disks away from heat or direct sunlight. Disks should be stored at temperatures between 5 and 60C (41-140F).
Keep disks dry and stored in a dry area (relative humidity between 8%
and 80%).
Do not bend disks.
Do not attach paper clips, staples, or rubber bands to disks.
Do not try to open the sliding shutter that covers the disks (Figure 7).
Never touch the exposed disk area beneath the sliding shutter. NOTE: The write-protect tab must be closed in order to record data to the disk and to print reports. If data cannot be recorded to the disk, check to see that the tab is positioned to cover the hole (Figure 7). 11 Write-protect tab closed
