Return the device to St. Jude Medical. Device storage. Store the device in a clean area, away from magnets, kits containing magnets, and sources of electromagnetic interference to avoid device damage. Store the device between 10° and 45°C because temperatures outside this range may damage the device. Temperature Equilibration.

![10 Be aware that the changes in the patient's condition, drug regimen, and other factors may change the defibrillation threshold (DFT), which may result in nonconversion of the arrhythmia. Successful conversion of ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia during arrhythmia conversion testing is no assurance that conversion will occur post-operatively. Implantation and Device ProgrammingImplantation and Device ProgrammingImplantation and Device ProgrammingImplantation and Device Programming Do not position a magnet over the device as that suspends detection and treatment (unless the device has been programmed to ignore the magnet). Replace the device when the battery reaches the elective replacement indicator (ERI). Implant the pulse generator no deeper than 5 cm to ensure reliable data transmission. For patient comfort, do not implant the pulse generator within 1.25 cm of bone unless you cannot avoid it. Exercise caution when turning the setscrew, which may be backed out of the connector if turned counterclockwise for more than two rotations. Program the device parameters as specified in the Merlin® PCS on-screen help. The results of the DAVID Study demonstrated that, for patients with standard indications for ICD therapy, no indication for cardiac pacing and an EF < 40%, dual-chamber pacing offers no clinical advantage over backup VVI pacing and may be associated with worsening heart failure.1 When programming the 1 Wilkoff BL, Cook JR, Epstein AE, Greene L, Hallstrom AP, Hsia H, Kutalek SP, Sharma A.

![12 External defibrillation. External defibrillation may damage the pulse generator or may result in temporary and/or permanent myocardial damage at the electrode-tissue interface as well as temporarily or permanently elevated pacing capture thresholds. Minimize current flowing through the pulse generator and lead system by following these precautions when using external defibrillation on a patient with a pulse generator: Position defibrillation paddles as far from the pulse generator as possible (minimum of 13 cm) Use the lowest clinically appropriate energy output Confirm pulse generator function following any external defibrillation High radiation sources. Do not direct high radiation sources such as cobalt 60 or gamma radiation at the pulse generator. If a patient requires radiation therapy in the vicinity of the pulse generator, place lead shielding over the device to prevent radiation damage and confirm its function after treatment. Lithotripsy. Lithotripsy may permanently damage the pulse generator. Avoid it unless the therapy site is not near the pulse generator and leads. Diathermy. Avoid diathermy, even if the device is programmed off, as it may damage tissue around the implanted electrodes or may permanently damage the pulse generator. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI for patients with implantable pulse generators has been contraindicated by MRI manufacturers. Clinicians should carefully weigh the decision to use MRI with ICD/CRT-D patients. MRI may cause device malfunction or injury to the patient. Ultrasound therapy.

Communication equipment such as microwave transmitters or high-power amateur transmitters may generate enough EMI to interfere with pulse generator operation if approached too closely. Home appliances. Home appliances in good working order and properly grounded do not usually produce enough EMI to interfere with pulse generator operation. There are reports of pulse generator disturbances caused by electric hand tools or electric razors used directly over the pulse generator implant site. Industrial equipment.

To minimize the possibility of interaction, advise patients to simply walk through these areas at a normal pace and avoid lingering. Even so, the ICD and CRT-D systems contain metal that may set off the airport security system alarm. If the alarm does sound, the patient should present security personnel with their patient identification card.
