1.3 Intended use The base is intended to be used as part of the CareLink SmartSync device manager system. Clinicians use the base to analyze the electrical performance of cardiac leads during device implant or invasive troubleshooting. Clinicians use the base’s ECG connections along with the app display to view, measure, and record live cardiac waveforms. The base is intended to be used by healthcare professionals only in operating environments under direct medical supervision.

1.4 Contraindications The base is not intended for use as an external pulse generator (EPG) outside of the implant procedure. In addition, the patient’s age and medical condition may dictate the lead analyses appropriate for the patient.

1.5 Warnings These warnings apply in general to using the device manager system. For more information related to specific implantable device models, see the reference guides for the implantable device and the software. Battery replacement – The batteries that power the integrated Analyzer hardware in the base must be replaced every 2 years or when they are depleted. Replace the batteries every 2 years or when the app indicates that the battery charge is low. Use of a failed battery may reduce operating time and may cause user or patient injury. Do not replace the battery while an Analyzer session is in progress or the base is connected to a patient. The battery connects to circuitry which connects directly to the patient and could provide a low-resistance path to the myocardium for electrostatic discharge (ESD) or leakage currents. Changing polarity settings – Confirm the polarity capabilities of the cardiac lead system before changing polarity settings. Changing polarity settings could result in loss of pacing if the cardiac lead system is not set up to facilitate pacing in the polarity selected. Cable connections – Connect all surgical cables, patient cables, and adaptors to the base before connecting the leads to the surgical or patient cable. Ensure proper atrial or ventricular lead connections are made to the surgical or patient cables. For more information on connecting surgical or patient cables to leads, refer to the instructions for use for the selected surgical or patient cable. Connection of external devices – Additional equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the respective IEC or ISO standards (for example, IEC 60950 for data processing equipment). All configurations must comply with the requirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or clause 16 of the 3rd edition of IEC 60601-1, respectively). Anyone connecting additional equipment to medical electrical equipment configures a medical system and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements for medical electrical systems. Local laws take priority over the above mentioned requirements. If in doubt, consult your local Medtronic representative or the technical service department. Damage due to impact – Do not use the base if it has sustained impact damage. Internal components may be damaged or exposed. Use of damaged equipment may impact user or patient safety. DDD pacing mode – Do not operate the Analyzer hardware in the base in the DDD pacing mode when only the ventricular pacing lead is connected. Interference detected at the unconnected atrial input of the Analyzer hardware can result in false sensing and can drive the ventricular pacing rate to the Upper Rate setting. Defibrillation/cardioversion – Whenever possible, for the safety of the patient, disconnect the base from the lead cardiac system before defibrillating or cardioverting. The Analyzer hardware in the base may be damaged by defibrillatory discharges when it is connected to an indwelling cardiac lead system. • The Analyzer hardware recovers normal operation within two seconds in the ventricle and within six seconds in the atrium for the defibrillation test pulse defined in IEC 60601-2-31. • The Analyzer hardware should be tested after being exposed to such charges. Diagnostic ECG – Do not use the ECG display for diagnosis. Use a separate ECG device if diagnostic ECG capabilities are required. Electric shock risk – Do not simultaneously touch the patient and any metal parts of the base (such as the USB port, power connector, or patient connector charging contacts) as voltage may be present. Application of voltage to the patient may impact user or patient safety. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) – Discharge any static electricity from your body before touching the patient, the cable, the leads, or the base. The pacing leads provide a low-impedance pathway to the heart. Electrosurgical units (cautery) – Do not use electrosurgical units within 15 cm (6 in) of the cardiac lead system. Electrosurgical units can cause tachyarrhythmias by inducing current on the leads. Equipment compatibility – The device manager system should be used only for the assessment of implantable cardiac lead systems for Medtronic-compatible implantable devices. Use of the device manager system with implantable devices from other manufacturers may result in incompatible measurements. Medtronic does not accept responsiblity for measurements taken using the device manager system with implantable devices from other manufacturers. 7

Flammable anesthetic mixture – The device manager system is not suited for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture. Handling inserted leads – Do not touch the exposed metal of the connector ends of the leads or the exposed metal of the cable clips when handling inserted leads. Do not allow the exposed metal of the connector end of the leads or the exposed metal of the cable clips to unintentionally contact electrically conductive or wet surfaces. High output and maximum sensitivity – Avoid using high output (high amplitude and wide pulse width) and maximum sensitivity simultaneously. This combination may result in over-sensing events, or sensing of paced events. The combination of high output and maximum sensitivity may include the following effects: • Use of high atrial sensitivity (low numerical settings) may allow ventricular potentials to inappropriately inhibit or trigger the atrial output in the presence of large ventricular depolarization potentials or high output. • High output and maximum sensitivity may result in opposite-chamber sensing of the pace output. The Analyzer hardware in the base includes a safety pacing feature to prevent inappropriate inhibition of ventricular pacing due to far-field sensing. • Use of high sensitivity in the ventricle may result in inappropriate inhibition of the ventricular output due to T-wave or myopotential sensing. Importance of instructions for use – Before conducting an Analyzer session, Medtronic recommends that you take the following actions: • Read the CareLink SmartSync Device Manager product instructions for use for information about using the device manager system to assess the electrical performance of Medtronic implantable device cardiac lead systems. • Thoroughly read the instructions for use for the leads used with the implantable device. • Carefully assess the patient’s condition and pacing system used to determine the appropriate parameter values to use during lead analysis. The instructions contained in this guide are liminted to the mechanics of setting up the device manager system and selecting the correct options for the desired lead assessment tests. Improper use of the device manager system could result in erroneous or inadvertent pacing and improper operation of telemetry and measurement functions. Line-powered equipment – During lead implantation and testing, use only battery-powered equipment (or line-powered equipment specifically designed for this purpose) to protect against fibrillation that may be caused by alternating currents. Line-powered equipment used in the vicinity of the patient must be properly grounded. Lead connector pins must be insulated from any leakage currents that may arise from line-powered equipment. An implanted lead forms a direct, low-resistance current pathway to the myocardium. Magnetic resonance (MR) unsafe – The device manager system is MR Unsafe. Do not bring any components of the device manager system into Zone 4 (magnet room), as defined by the American College of Radiology. Modification of equipment – Do not modify any hardware or software component of the device manager system. Modifications may reduce system effectiveness and impact user or patient safety. Modifying any component without the approval of Medtronic could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Prolonged power loss – Connect the patient to an external temporary pacemaker in the event of a prolonged power loss of more than five minutes. Rapid atrial stimulation – Have defibrillation equipment readily available during rapid atrial stimulation. Use of high rates in the atrium can result in high-rate conduction to the ventricle. Accidental high-rate stimulation of the ventricles may result in ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Radio-frequency (RF) interference – Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can interfere with the operation of components of the device manager system. Although the device manager system has been approved, there is no guarantee that it will not receive interference or that any particular transmission from this system will be free from interference. Supply mains with protective earth – To avoid the risk of electric shock, connect the power supply only to a hospital-grade supply mains receptacle with a protective earth. The third conductor in the power cord plug is a functional earth connection. Temporary pacing – Do not leave the patient unattended when the Analyzer hardware in the base provides external pacing. The Analyzer is a diagnostic device. If prolonged external pacing is needed, move the patient to an external pulse generator.

1.6 Precautions Autoclaving – Do not autoclave the device. Base and power cord positioning – Position the base and its power cord so that the cord can be easily accessed and disconnected. Route all cords away from trafficked areas or secure them to prevent accidental tripping or kicking. The power cord is heavy and may pull the base from the table, causing damage to it. If needed, secure the power cord to the table with tape, gauze, or a clamp. If it is necessary to disconnect the base from the AC power mains, the power cord is the power disconnect at the mains outlet. Damaged equipment – Periodically, inspect the base, its case and connection ports, and all cords and cables for damage. If the base is cracked or if any of its connectors are damaged, contact your Medtronic representative. Replace the power supply if there is damage 8

to it, the power cord, or the wall plugs. Replace any accessory cables if the insulation or plug is damaged. Dispose of the damaged part according to local regulations or return the part to Medtronic. Do not immerse – Take care to prevent liquid from entering the base. Do not immerse the base or any accessories in any liquid or clean them with glycol ethers or aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons. Electrical and patient safety – The CareLink SmartSync Device Manager system is compliant with the requirements of UL/CUL/EN 60601-1 for electrical and patient safety. Electrode quality – Use of high-quality silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes can minimize the occurrence of small DC voltages that can block the ECG signal. Use electrodes that are fresh and from the same box. Prepare the patient’s skin according to the directions provided with the electrodes. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) – The base has been tested for compliance with industrial and medical EMI regulations. Any use outside the patient environment may result in malfunction. Avoid excessive levels of EMI when working with Analyzer functions, if possible. At high sensitivity settings and in the presence of excessive levels of interference, the Analyzer may inhibit completely or revert to asynchronous pacing operation, pacing at the lower rate. The following list includes sources of excessively strong EMI that may temporarily affect the operation of the Analyzer hardware in the base: • • • •

Electrosurgical equipment Diathermy equipment Some medical telemetry equipment (when operated within 1 m [about 3 feet] of the base) Communication transmitters such as cellular phones and “walkie talkies”

Finger injury – To avoid a painful pinch, do not place fingers in the hinge area when lifting or closing the base lid. Maintenance and service – Do not modify or do any maintenance or service on the base while you are using it. Doing any of these tasks on the base while it is in use can lower its effectiveness. Contact Medtronic if your base is not working properly. Magnetic interference – The base includes a magnet under the charge cradle to secure the patient connector and ensure charging. The symbol on the cradle identifies the location of this magnet. Avoid placing devices or material that may be damaged by the magnetic field (such as magnetic media, watches, or other electronic devices) on top of the base. Some mobile devices may be sensitive to magnetic interference. Keep strong magnetic sources (such as magnetic programming heads, patient magnets like the Model 9466 Tachy Patient Magnet, or other strong magnetic field generators) away from direct contact with the mobile device when working with the device manager system. The 24967 Patient Connector telemetry head does not include a magnet and is not a source of magnetic interference. Measurement function – The device manager system is designed to detect and measure pulse rate, AV interval and pulse width, and implantable device artifacts. The base takes these digital measurements with the assistance of optional skin electrodes. Medtronic makes no claims or warranties as to the effectiveness of the device manager system as a diagnostic tool to the physician. Pediatric use – The device manager system and its components have not been tested specifically for pediatric use. Product and packaging labels and information – If labels or information appear to be missing from the product or packaging, contact your local Medtronic representative at the address and telephone number located on the back cover of this document. Single complex monitor – If the single complex monitor is selected in the app, connect the patient to a separate ECG monitor in order to view a continuous ECG. The single complex monitor replaces the continuous waveform monitor on the app display, thereby eliminating indication of complete heart activity. Use of wireless devices – The device manager system incorporates radio-frequency (RF) communications components which may affect other devices and equipment in the medical environment. The use of wireless devices in the medical environment must be evaluated and authorized by the responsible organization. RF interference may affect device performance. Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) testing shows that the components of the device manager system provide reasonable protection against harmful interference and provides EMC immunity in a typical medical installation. The use of wireless devices in the medical environment must be evaluated and authorized by the responsible organization. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If any component does cause harmful interference to other devices or is negatively impacted by other devices, correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the component and other devices. • Ensure the base is placed at the level of or on top of tables (and not below table level). Placing the base below table level can negatively impact communication and connectivity. • Increase the separation between the component and other devices by at least 2 m (approximately 6 feet). • Turn off any interfering equipment.

1.6.1 Environmental precautions To ensure safe and effective operation, use the base with care to avoid damage from environmental factors that may impair its function. The base has been carefully designed and tested to ensure reliability during normal use. However, the base is susceptible to many environmental stresses including, but not limited to, the following examples. • The base is designed to be used indoors in a clinical or hospital environment. • Do not drop the base or handle it in a way that might physically damage it. Damage can impair the functionality of the base. The base may appear to work appropriately immediately after being dropped or mishandled, but operational damage may have occurred. • Do not spill fluid on the base. Fluid incursion can occur and cause damage to the base. • The base may be affected by electrostatic discharge (ESD). In an environment likely to cause ESD, such as a carpeted floor, discharge any charge collected on your body before touching the base. • Do not open the case. The base is constructed to minimize risk from environmental factors. Opening the case can make it susceptible to environmental factors and can expose the patient or user to hazardous voltage or current. • Do not expose the base to rapid temperature changes. Rapid temperature changes may affect proper operation. If the base is exposed to rapid temperature changes, allow the temperature to stabilize before using it. • Do not store or operate the base for prolonged periods of time in high humidity. Prolonged storage or operation of the base in high humidity may affect proper operation. • Place the base on a table or other hard surface and position it to avoid contact with the patient; it is not intended to be used while supported by or in contact with the patient. • Ensure the base is placed at the level of or on top of tables. Placing the base below table level can negatively impact communication and connectivity. If the base is damaged, contact Medtronic at the telephone number on the back cover of this manual. Other environmental factors can impair the performance of the base. Always use good health management practices to prevent environmental damage to the base.

1.7 24970A base functions The base and the Analyzer hardware within the base supports the following functions: • Communication with the Medtronic app running on your mobile device via a Bluetooth wireless connection. • Collection of live cardiac waveform data via ECG cable connections that can be viewed, measured, and recorded using the app running on your mobile device. • Electrical assessment of cardiac leads during implant via patient cable connections to the Analyzer hardware in the base. • Charging of the 24967 patient connector via the base charging cradle or USB cable.

1.8 Regulatory compliance 1.8.1 US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) This transmitter is authorized by rule under the Medical Device Radiocommunication Service (in part 95 of the FCC Rules) and must not cause harmful interference to stations operating in the 400.150–406.000 MHz band in the Meteorological Aids (i.e., transmitters and receivers used to communicate weather data), the Meteorological Satellite, or the Earth Exploration Satellite Services and must accept interference that may be caused by such stations, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This transmitter shall be used only in accordance with the FCC Rules governing the Medical Device Radiocommunication Service. Analog and digital voice communications are prohibited.

2.5 Connecting the base to the app When you completed the app installation and registration process, you connected the base to the app. The app automatically detects and connects to this base when it is powered on and within range of the mobile device. If the connection between the base and the app is lost, the base and app automatically attempt to reestablish communication. In certain situations when the connection is lost, the app may prompt you to press the button on the base to identify it. 19

You can connect multiple different bases to the app, but only one base can be connected to and communicating with the app at the same time. You can also disconnect a base from the app in order to connect to a different one. However, you cannot switch between bases during an Analyzer session. During connection, the base and the app exchange messages to establish the connection. If the base does not receive a confirmation message from the app within 5 minutes after starting the connection process, the base automatically discontinues the process and disconnects its Bluetooth connection. You can restart the connection process from the app, if needed. If the base has not been connected to an app for an extended period of time (default of 180 minutes), it automatically powers down its Bluetooth connection. When Bluetooth in the base is powered down, the blue Bluetooth LED indicator on the base turns off. To power up the base’s Bluetooth connection, press the button on the base or start the connection process from the app. 2.5.1 Reconnecting to the app The app saves the connection information about the base it is currently connected to even if that connection is not active (for example, if the base is powered off, out of range, or Bluetooth is not enabled on the mobile device). You can reconnect the base to the app quickly without re-entering the security code. 1. Verify that the base is powered on and the app is running and active on the mobile device. 2. If needed, press the button on the base to power on its Bluetooth connection.

3. If the app does not automatically reconnect, do the following: a. Tap SELECT BASE on the app screen. The Select an accessory dialog box opens. b. Verify the serial number of the previously paired base, then tap that base in the list. 4. To verify the connection, tap FLASH. Caution: Verify that the app is connected to the correct base. Connecting to a different base may result in confusion during an Analyzer session or delay a procedure. The lights on the base flash, indicating that it is connected to the app. Press the button on the base to turn the lights off. You can also view connection status in the status indicators at the top of the app screen. The base is connected to the app and ready to use. 2.5.2 Connecting a new base to the app You can connect a new base to the app when needed. When you connect a new base to the app, you enter the base’s security key to ensure that communications are transmitted securely. Caution: After connecting a new base to the app, verify that the correct base is connected. Connecting to a different base may result in confusion during an Analyzer session or delay a procedure. You cannot connect to a new base during an Analyzer session. 1. If needed, tap DISCONNECT on the app screen to disconnect the currently connected base from the app. 2. Verify the following: • The new base is powered on. • The new base is not currently connected to a CareLink SmartSync Device Manager app running on a different mobile device. • The app is running and active on the mobile device you want to connect to the new base.
