Phantom pacemaker programming

A Fieldman, R J Dobrow

    Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pacemaker programming errors, including dysprogramming and misprogramming, can occur but were not clinically detrimental in this study. Awareness of these potential hazards during pacemaker follow-up is crucial for patient safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cardiology
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • Programmable pacemakers are widely used for cardiac rhythm management.
    • Spurious programming, including dysprogramming and misprogramming, poses potential risks.
    • Clinical reports of such events have been rare despite device prevalence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and mechanisms of spurious programming in pacemakers.
    • To identify potential causes of dysprogramming and misprogramming.
    • To alert healthcare professionals to potential pacemaker programming anomalies.

    Main Methods:

    • Routine follow-up of 95 implanted Cordis Omni-Stanicor generators.
    • Observation of dysprogramming events during magnet application.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • In vitro studies to assess magnetically induced reed switch vibration.
  • Analysis of misprogramming instances related to programmer faults.

    • Main Results:

    • Three instances of dysprogramming were observed in vivo.
    • Magnetically induced reed switch vibration was found in 9 of 6,680 units in vitro.
    • Numerous misprogramming events were attributed to faulty programmer emission counts.
    • No clinically detrimental anomalies were identified in this series.

    Conclusions:

    • Magnet application can induce pacemaker dysprogramming due to reed switch vibration.
    • Faulty programmer emission counts are a common cause of misprogramming.
    • While not clinically detrimental in this study, these phenomena warrant awareness and caution in pacemaker management.
