About the Device
General descrip-
tion
The SafeSync Module can be connected to the ICS
3000 and Renamic programmers and permits:
A wandless telemetry connection (SafeSync RF
telemetry) between the programmer and devices
with the BIOTRONIK SafeSync function and
Optional communication with networks via the
cellular phone network or WLAN (depending on the
software version of the programmer).
Devices with the BIOTRONIK SafeSync function are
equipped with a special transmitter and receiver (1).
This sends all the relevant information to the
SafeSync Module (2), which then forwards the infor-
mation to the programmer (3). The device also
receives all information that the programmer
forwards to the SafeSync Module for transmission.

BIOTRONIK SafeSync function and the ICS 3000 or
Renamic programmer.
Thus the programmer is able to perform the following
without a programming head:
Conduct sensing, pacing threshold and impedance
tests
Interrogate data of the implanted device such as
program parameters, recorded statistical data and
episodes, as well as real-time IEGMs
Display, printout, save and export data of the
implanted device for analysis and reporting
purposes
Transferring parameters to the device
Safety During Use 11
Required Expertise
Required expertise The programmer is intended for use by physicians and
trained medical staff. Along with their basic medical
knowledge, a detailed knowledge of cardiac electro-
therapy is also required. Only qualified medical
specialists with knowledge of cardiac electrotherapy
can properly operate the device.

graph 1 Item 2, are to be documented.'
12 Safety During Use
Residual Risk
Risk analysis The risk analysis carried out by the manufacturer's
Risk Management Team has determined that the
residual risk is as low as reasonably possible.
It is a prerequisite that the programmer has been
serviced and inspected according to the manufac-
turer's specifications by qualified medical staff and in
compliance with the safety-relevant instructions in
this technical manual.
Safety During Use 13
General Safety Instructions
Technical manual Only use the programmer in accordance with this
technical manual.
Risks of improper
handling
Disregarding the safety instructions can endanger the
patient, the staff and the equipment.
The following dangers may arise in the event of
improper use:
Failure of important device functions
Danger to persons due to electrical effects
Changes not
permitted
Only the manufacturer or a party expressly authorized
by BIOTRONIK may perform corrective maintenance,
enhancements or modifications to the device.
Replacement parts
and accessories
To ensure safety compliance, use only original
replacement parts and accessories authorized by
BIOTRONIK. Using any other parts voids the manufac-
turer's liability for any consequences, guarantee and
warranty.
Defects Do not use defective or damaged devices.
Liquids Never use a damp or wet device.
Protect the device from the accidental ingression
of fluids (e.g. infusion fluids).
Electrostatic
potentials
Ensure that electrostatic potentials between medical
staff and patients are balanced. Before handling the
device, the electrostatic potential between the doctor
or medical staff and the patient must be balanced by
touching the patient at a point as far away from the
leads as possible.
Note: Failure to observe the safety precautions voids
all damage claims and manufacturer liability.
14 Safety During Use
Electromagnetic Interference
Possible electro-
magnetic interfer-
ence
The programmer is protected from disturbances
resulting from electromagnetic irradiation, electro-
static discharges and other sources. Simultaneously,
the emitted interference has been reduced to a
minimum. Thus the programmer conforms to the
requirements of EN 60601-1-2 (in its valid form at the
time of delivery).
However, strong electromagnetic interferences that
occur in the close vicinity of electrical motors, power
cables, PCs, monitors, or other – possibly defective –
electrical devices may compromise the function of the
programmer in certain cases.
This kind of device malfunction should be considered
if the following is observed:
The device switches on by itself.
The unit passes on incorrect intrinsic events, which
are displayed on the ECG, IEGM or marker channel
(artifacts) of the programmer and monitoring
device.
The device displays other inexplicable functions.
Correct operation of the device can be restored with
the following:
Switch off the malfunctioning electronic device.
Remove the source of interference from the device.
Switch the programmer on and off or cut off the
electrical connection between the device and the
source of interference if this is possible without
causing any danger.
If the interference continues, contact BIOTRONIK
immediately.
Note: If accessories other than those specified by
BIOTRONIK are used, increased interference or
lower resistance to interference can be expected.
Safety During Use 15
EMI test Telemetry between the SafeSync Module and the
implanted device can be impaired by electromagnetic
interference (EMI). This can be observed when it
becomes difficult or even impossible to interrogate or
program the implanted device. Using the EMI test
(refer to device software help), the source of the elec-
tromagnetic interference can be located and then
turned off.
Note: If accessories specified by BIOTRONIK are
used on other devices, increased interference or
lower resistance to interference can be expected.
Note: Portable radio communication devices can
interfere with the programmer functioning.

Unit Handling
Indicators during
operation
The LEDs provide information on the status of the
SafeSync Module or the respective function.
Establishing
SafeSync RF
telemetry
The telemetry connection is controlled using the
programmer software.
The software is installed on the drive of the
programmer by BIOTRONIK employees.
You can use the programmer's user interface to
activate or disable the SafeSync function independent
of the WLAN and cellular function. Both features can
be activated, but you can not use both simultaneously.
Using the user interface, you can either establish
SafeSync RF telemetry with a device or set up commu-
nication with a network (depending on the software
version of the programmer).
Establishment of the SafeSync RF telemetry depends
on the respective device and the suitable location of
the SafeSync Module.
To establish SafeSync RF telemetry, proceed as
described in the device's technical manual.
Position the SafeSync Module using the user inter-
face and the programmer's online help.

30 Startup
Interrogating and
programming the
device
The BIOTRONIK devices can communicate bidirec-
tionally with the programmer. Once the telemetry
connection has been established via the SafeSync
Module, the program data and all data stored in the
device can be transferred to the programmer.
Depending on the implanted device, a large number of
adjustable parameter sets are available. These
parameter sets are combined and saved in the
program that is currently active. The programmer
detects obvious program errors and requires these to
be corrected before the program is transferred to the
device.
The following programs can be transmitted:
Permanent program
A permanent program is a program that is
programmed in the pacemaker and which
performs pacing permanently without a telemetry
connection.
!
!
WARNING
Risk to the patient caused by termination of the ECG
display.
Removing the Operation Module on the ICS 3000
causes termination of the ECG display, which may
pose a risk to the patient.
Do not remove the Operation Module from the ICS
3000 during follow-up.
!
!
WARNING
Risk to the patient due to higher power consump-
tion in the device.
The SafeSync RF telemetry requires more energy
and decreases the device's longevity.
Only establish SafeSync RF telemetry if neces-
sary.
Check the device's battery capacity at regular
intervals (refer to the online help for the
programmer).
Startup 31
Temporary program
A temporary program is a program that the pace-
maker uses to provide temporary pacing as long as
the telemetry connection exists.
Safe program
A safe program is a device-specific program used
for safety pacing with high energy in either VVI or
SSI mode.
Establishing a
WLAN or mobile
connection
(depending on the
programmer's
software version)
You can use the programmer's user interface to
activate or disable the WLAN or cellular function inde-
pendent of the SafeSync function. Both features can
be activated, but you can not use both simultaneously.
Using the user interface, you can either establish
SafeSync RF telemetry with a device or set up commu-
nication with a network (depending on the software
version of the programmer).
Establishing the WLAN or mobile connection depends
on the respective network.
To set up the WLAN or mobile connection, proceed
as described in the programmer's online help.
Note: Use of a temporary program can be stopped at
any time and the permanent program of the
implanted device can be automatically reactivated
with the following:
Disconnect the telemetry connection using the
programmer's user interface.
Or:
Switch the programmer off.

Electromagnetic Compatibility in Compliance with
EN 60601-1-2:2007
As the user, you must ensure that the device is
operated in a suitable electromagnetic environ-
ment.
The following guidelines may not be applicable in
all cases. The propagation of electromagnetic
values is, for example, affected by the absorption
and reflection of structures, objects and people.
This data is for your personal information. There
should be at least 20 cm distance between the
device and the SafeSync Module to avoid interfer-
ence with the device caused by the electromagnetic
fields emitted by the SafeSync Module.
Electromagnetic
Emissions (Table 1)
Units with the warning sign “Transmitter
with non-ionizing radiation at designated
frequency” must not be operated in the envi-
ronment of the device due to potential inter-
ference.
Measuring the
emitted interfer-
ence
Compliance Guidelines for the electromagnetic
environment
RF interference
according to
CISPR 11
Group 1 The device uses RF energy exclusively
for its own function. Therefore, the RF
interference emitted is very low and
not likely to cause any interference in
nearby electronic equipment.
RF interference
according to
CISPR 11
Class B The device is suitable for use in all
establishments. This includes resi-
dences and facilities directly
connected to the public power supply
network that supplies buildings used
for domestic purposes.
Appendix 39
Recommended
safety distances
(Table 6)
Safety distances help prevent interference if you
maintain a minimum distance between transmit-
ters such as mobile RF telecommunication devices
and the Renamic programmer. The necessary
distance depends on the respective power output of
the transmitter.
For transmitters whose maximum output power is
not indicated in the table, the recommended safety
distance [d] can be calculated in meters using an
equation that is suitable for the respective trans-
mission frequency range. P is the maximum output
power of the transmitter in watts [W] according to
the specification of the transmitter's manufac-
turer.
Resistance to elec-
tromagnetic inter-
ference
(tables 2 and 4)
When the measured field strength exceeds the
specified compliance level at the operating location
of the Renamic device, observe the device in order
to determine whether it is functioning properly.
Note: At 80 MHz and at 800 MHz, the higher
frequency range applies.

If abnormal performance is observed, change the
orientation or the location of the device. In the
frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, ensure that
field strengths are lower than 3 V/m.
