Potential Complications; Warnings To Patient - sorin REPLY SR Bedienungsanleitung

3.2. POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS

Complications may arise with any implanted pacing system. They
may be related to the device itself:
Early battery depletion
Component failure
Circuit inhibition, reversion to standby mode, or other failures due
to electromagnetic interference
Pectoral stimulation
Complications may be related to the pacing leads:
Poor connection to the pacemaker leads
Lead displacement, cardiac wall perforation, or tissue reaction at
the myocardium-electrode interface
Insulation fracture
Conductor fracture
Medical complications may also arise:
Infection
Fluid accumulation at the implant site
Casing migration
Skin erosion by the pacemaker with possible protrusion of the
casing

4. WARNINGS TO PATIENT

The patient should be warned of the potential risks of pacemaker
malfunction if he/she is exposed to external magnetic, electrical, or
electromagnetic signals.
Electrical equipment: Household electrical appliances do not affect
the functioning of the pacemaker, providing they are insulated to
current standards. However, patients should avoid using induction
ovens and cookers.
