Cleaning To clean the exterior of the Merlin PCS, Merlin PSA, Merlin Antenna, and ECG cables, wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth moistened with a mild soap. To clean the Merlin PCS touch-screen display, spray a small amount of diluted glass cleaner on a soft cloth and gently wipe the screen. Dilute the glass cleaner by adding an equal amount of water. CAUTION: Keep liquid out of the system's interior. Never spray liquid directly onto the Merlin PCS or its accessories. 7 WARNING: Do not modify the Merlin PCS without the authorization of the manufacturer. Programmer Self Test/Preventive Maintenance When you turn on the Merlin PCS, the device performs a self-test of the internal hardware and software. If the test fails, the programmer displays a message explaining the cause of the failure. Should the self-test fail, turn off the programmer, wait 30 seconds, and then restart the programmer. If the self-test fails again, contact Technical Support (page 1). The programmer and its electronic accessories have been designed with digital circuitry and does not require calibration. Telemetry Wand Sterilization To sterilize the telemetry wand and/or cables, place the item in a gas-permeable package and sterilize it in ethylene oxide. Do not exceed 50C (122F). After sterilization, allow sufficient time for complete aeration of ethylene oxide prior to use. This process may be shortened by forced ventilation. Use biological controls to verify the effectiveness of sterilization. CAUTION: Do not autoclave, radiation sterilize, or clean ultrasonically or with chemical solutions. Do not attempt to sterilize the Merlin PSA, the PSA Wand, the Merlin Antenna, or the Merlin PCS itself. NOTE: You can place the PSA Wand, the Merlin Antenna, or the inductive telemetry wand inside a sterile glove or bag. 7 Some PSA patient cables can be immersed in liquid. See the Merlin PSA on-screen help. 21 Troubleshooting Start-Up Problems Possible Causes Failure to start is most commonly caused by a lack of power. Solutions Check that the outlet is working and that the appropriate power cord is plugged in properly. Check that the appropriate power cord is plugged into the back of the Merlin PCS and that the power switch is on. Check both fuses. Remove the power cord, place a finger under the middle of the fuse holder (page 7), and lift the catch until the fuse holder clicks and pops out. If either fuse is blown, replace it with the appropriate fuse (see Electrical Specifications (page 25)), plug the unit in, and turn the power on. If the fuse blows again, contact St. Jude Medical's Technical Support department (page 1). System Errors If a software problem occurs, the Merlin PCS displays a message indicating that a system error has occurred and information indicating the origin of the problem. The system displays this message until you reboot by turning the Merlin PCS off and then on. Before turning the Merlin PCS off, record the information. All data from the current programming session will be lost. If the problem persists, contact St. Jude Medical's Technical Support department (page 1). Power Failure If power to the Merlin PCS is lost during a critical telemetry operation (for example, parameter programming), check the parameter settings and reprogram the device to ensure that the settings are at the desired values. Lock-Up If the screen freezes during normal operation or if the screen blacks out, a lockup may have occurred. Possible Causes Lockup may be caused by a variety of software execution problems, voltage transients, or input errors. Solutions If you suspect a lockup:
1. Remove the telemetry wand from the patient's chest to break telemetry. 2. Re-boot the Merlin PCS: Turn the power off. Wait five full seconds. Then turn the power on again. 3. If the Merlin PCS locks up again, reboot again. If the problem continues, contact your St. Jude Medical representative. RF Communication Problems RF Communication problems may be present if you interrogate an RF-enabled implantable device and:
The Merlin PCS does not display the Ready To Connect to Device or Active RF Telemetry 22 icons (page 16). The Merlin PCS displays a communication alert. Few or no telemetry strength indicator LEDs are lit on the Merlin PCS and Merlin Antenna. Make sure that the cable from the Merlin Antenna to the Merlin PCS is properly connected and the blue status LEDs on the Merlin Antenna are on. Follow the steps in RF Communication Setup
(page 14). If the problem persists, consider the options in the section Suboptimal RF Communication (page 23) below. Suboptimal RF Communication The Merlin PCS indicates the quality of the RF communication by the telemetry strength indicator LEDs on both the programmer and the Merlin Antenna. Below is a list of potential causes of suboptimal radio communication:
Possible Causes The Merlin Antenna orientation/location is suboptimal. People or objects interfere with the communication between the Merlin Antenna and the device. The Merlin Antenna is too far away from the device. Someone is holding the Merlin Antenna. Other products in the vicinity are causing electromagnetic interference (EMI). The Merlin Antenna cable is wound around the Merlin Antenna. Solutions Try to optimize RF communication (increase the number of telemetry strength indicator LEDs):
Move or reorient the Merlin Antenna slightly. Make sure that the space between the Merlin Antenna and the device is free from interfering objects/people. Power off or remove equipment that could cause EMI. Move the Merlin Antenna closer to the device. Make sure that the front of the Merlin Antenna faces the implantable device. Make sure the Merlin Antenna cable is not wound around the Merlin Antenna. If none of the above solutions solve the problem, avoid using RF communication and use the inductive telemetry wand instead. Do not hold the Merlin Antenna. 1. Make sure that all disk activity has stopped (the hard disk becomes silent). Transportation To move the Merlin PCS:
2. Turn off the Merlin PCS. 3. Disconnect the external devices. 4. Disconnect the power cord. 5. Close the display. Make sure that the cover latch is closed. 6. Store the wand, Merlin Antenna, and ECG cables in the storage compartment or the pouch. Carefully wind the cables to avoid damage. 23 CAUTION: To avoid breakage, do not lift the Merlin PCS by its display or by the storage compartment lid. 24 Electrical Input power (mains) Power supply AC power cord Current consumption Fuse (2) Screen Display Color Screen type Screen size Resolution Printer Printing method Thermal paper Printing speed ECG Cables 5-lead cable 3-lead cable Technical Data Merlin PCS Specifications The Merlin PCS is Class I, Type BF defibrillation-proof medical equipment 8.

Ps, ICDs, and CRT-Ds) but does not provide therapy. All therapy is delivered via the implanted device. The Merlin PCS communicates with SJM implantable devices enabling operations such as programming, and the sending and retrieval of data between the Merlin PCS and the implanted device. The Merlin PCS provides visual and mechanical interfaces to medical professionals so they may assess patient conditions and enable and assess the functioning of the implanted device. NOTE: For single fault conditions, see Troubleshooting (page 22). Data Security St. Jude Medical takes a broad and deep approach to ensuring the safety, security and privacy of the patient information and data on our devices and systems connecting patients to healthcare providers and clinics. Patients, clinical staff, and hospital IT staff do not need to configure the pulse generator or take any special action, for example firewall use, to safeguard patient information and device data. The Merlin PCS programmer logs security events, for example a failed installation of programmer software, and stores these log files on disk. These files can then be analyzed by St. Jude Medical personnel during system forensics. They are not meant to be analyzed by the clinic's information technology personnel. 9 The Merlin PCS, RF antenna and Merlin PSA comply with IEC 60601-1: 2005, ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1: 2005 as well as UL60601-1: 2003, and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60601-1: 2008 (Inclusion of ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-
1:2005 does not infer acceptance of the standard by OSHA). 26 All safeguards for the devices will be provided throughout the stated warranty period or until a replacement product is available. In the rare event of a cybersecurity attack on the programmer that affects its ability to program the pulse generator, implanted device therapy will continue. St. Jude Medical encourages the clinics to allow only authorized healthcare providers to use the Merlin PCS, for example by requiring badged access to programmer locations. The cybersecurity bill of materials (CBOM) is available upon request. Bluetooth Communication For Bluetooth Low Energy wireless communication, the Merlin PCS and St. Jude Medical implantable devices should be within 2.5 meters in normal use. The programmer uses BLE with authentication methods to ensure that the programmer communicates only with St. Jude Medical authorized products. The integrity and confidentiality of all data-in-transit during BLE communication is protected by multiple levels of encryption. Inductive Communication Inductive Communication is a short-range communication channel that protects patient information by the proximity of the telemetry wand to the device. Only authorized healthcare providers should place the inductive wand over the device. RF Communication To begin Merlin PCS use, the clinician places the programmer's inductive telemetry wand over the patient's implanted device and initiates communication. The inductive wand has a range of less than 7 centimeters in normal use. The Merlin PCS then switches to Medical Implant Communications Service (MICS)-based (RF) telemetry if the implanted device supports it. The RF telemetry range is less than 2.5 meters in normal use. St. Jude Medical implantable devices introduced in 2010 and later use proprietary communications protocol based on magnetic induction and, for certain models, an MICS-based protocol. This protocol prevents unauthorized device communication and recording and protects sensitive patient information using:
An authentication algorithm Data encryption NOTE: The implanted device authenticates telemetry communication before accepting changes to programmed therapy. Electromagnetic Compatibility The Merlin PCS and the Merlin Antenna require special precautions with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and should be used in accordance with the information provided in this manual. The Merlin PCS and the Merlin Antenna comply with the requirements of the EMC international standard IEC 60601-1-2 when used with the cables listed in Accessories (page 34). The Merlin PCS and the Merlin Antenna are intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in the following tables. The user should ensure that it is used in such an environment. WARNING: The Merlin PCS and the Merlin Antenna are intended for use only by healthcare professionals. They comply with the limits for medical devices contained in IEC/EN 60601-1-2. However, the Merlin PCS and the Merlin Antenna may cause radio interference or may 27 disrupt the operation of nearby equipment.
