To reset the seconds display to zero, select the box containing two digits (shown as 00 in Figure 7). c. When the desired values are displayed, select the Set Program-mer Clock button to confirm the new date and time. (To cancel any changes prior to confirming the new values, select the Cancel but-ton; the window will close without changing the values.)Figure 7 The Set Date and Time window.

165. To exit the DEMO mode, depending on which application you are us-ing, select the New Patient or Quit options from either the Utilities but-ton or the Exit button. For more information about these options, refer to the System Guide for the Guidant pulse generator being interro-gated.6. To proceed with an interrogation session or read data from a patient data disk (which is a feature that is available in some applications), refer to the System Guide for the Guidant pulse generator being in-terrogated.Changing Parameter ValuesThe screens for many of the features contain parameter information, in-cluding parameter names, values for the present parameter settings, val-ue boxes to accommodate value changes, and buttons to cancel chang-es. Many screens display two columns next to the parameter names: the Present column and the Change column. The Present column displays the currently programmed value for each parameter, and the Change col-umn displays value boxes that allow the clinician to make changes to the parameters. If a particular parameter is not applicable in the current mode, dashes will be displayed in the Present column. If a particular pa-rameter is not applicable to the mode in the Change column, that param-eter’s value box is not displayed.Palette Window: To change the parameter values, first select the appro-priate parameter’s value box in the Change column. A palette window will appear (as shown in Figure 8). Select a value from the palette window (by touching the desired value and lifting the stylus from the screen). Touch-ing the screen outside a window will close it without making a selection. When changes have been made to parameter values, the data appear in the Change box until programmed into the pulse generator.Figure 8 Types of windows enabling value changes.Palette Window Keyboard Window

17In some screens (e.g., Patient Data screens), data are not displayed in Present and Change columns. These screens display value boxes that re-quire unique data to be entered. Typically, the data are entered from a keyboard window (as shown in Figure 8). The values entered will remain in the value boxes when programmed; they will not move from a Change column to a Present column.Keyboard Window: Touch the first character of the new value; it will ap-pear in the data-entry box in the graphic keyboard. Continue until the en-tire new entry appears in the box. To delete one character at a time, start-ing with the last character, select the left arrow key on the graphic key-board. Each time the left arrow key is selected, a character will be deleted in the box. To cancel any deletions or additions just made, select the Can-cel Changes button. When all the appropriate characters have been se-lected, select the Close button on the graphic keyboard.NOTE: If, when the graphic keyboard initially appears, it contains data in the value box, select the Clear button to delete all the characters in the value box.Copy button: On screens that contain a Copy button, you can simply copy parameter values from one screen to another. Select the Copy but-ton. A window will appear with a Copy From column and a Copy To col-umn, with buttons below the columns. Select the desired buttons in both columns, and then select the Copy button.To program the device, follow the instructions in the System Guide for the Guidant pulse generator being interrogated.NOTE: If additional parameters require reprogramming, repeat these steps. Multiple parameter changes can be programmed at one time (batch programming).MAINTENANCE AND HANDLINGLoading the PaperThe internal printer/recorder uses four-inch wide (110 mm) thermosensi-tive printing paper. Model 6979 Printer Paper refills can be ordered from Guidant.Use the following procedure to load paper into the internal printer/recorder:

181. Open the printer door.2. If any sheets from the previous pack remain but did not feed, remove them and rotate the roller with clean fingertips to remove any small pieces of paper still under the printhead.3. Unfold one sheet of paper and orient the pack such that the sensitive side is up and the pagination mark is at the bottom of the paper. In-sert the pack into the printer/recorder.NOTE: You must use paper with pagination markings. Paper will not paginate properly if paper does not have markings.4. Allow the unfolded sheet to lay straight between the guides on the right side of the printer/recorder.5. Close the printer door completely. The printer/recorder will automat-ically begin the paper-loading sequence and will stop at the first pag-ination mark after paper is detected. If the paper’s edges are wrin-kled, wait for four or five pages to feed through the printer. The printer will self-align the paper to its proper position.The printer/recorder is now ready to resume printing.For information regarding loading paper into the optional external printer, refer to the user manual for the printer.Thermal Paper StorageStore the heat-sensitive paper for the internal printer/recorder in a cool, dark environment. Do not attempt to erase the printer/recorder paper. Printed paper will last approximately 30 days under direct fluorescent light. To ensure the permanence of a patient’s record, store the printed paper away from direct sunlight, heat, or fumes from organic com-pounds. Storage temperatures above 65°C, sustained exposure to direct sunlight, or exposure to high humidity, acetone, ammonia, alcohols, or other organic compounds may cause the paper to discolor.NOTES: • If printed reports are to be kept for prolonged periods, you must make a photocopy of the thermosensitive paper as this paper is not intended for long-term retention and will lose legibility over time. • Some brands of adhesive tape applied to a printed report will fade the printing after 30 days.Cleaning the PRMClean the housing and touchscreen of the PRM with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water.Clean the printer/recorder with a dry, soft brush to eliminate dust and par-ticles that may accumulate during printing and storage.

19CAUTION: Do not use an abrasive cloth or volatile solvents to clean any portion of the PRM. The cables used with the PRM are not sterile when packaged. When nec-essary, clean the cables with a soft cloth dampened with a mild cleaning solution (e.g., Liqui-nox for the sterilizable telemetry wand; Borax or a 1:10 bleach solution for other cables). Using the same method, wipe them completely with sterile water and towel- or air-dry. DO NOT use an ultra-sonic cleaner NOR immerse the cables. Clean the sterilizable telem-etry wand in the same manner, allowing no fluids to enter the wand cavity. See “Prepare the Telemetry Wand” on page 6 for sterilization instructions.Patient Data DiskThe Model 6627 Patient Data Disk must be inserted with the arrow on the top left side and pointing into the disk drive (Figure 9).Figure 9. Disk drive on the right side of the PRM.Be certain that the write-protect tab is closed on the disk (Figure 10). In-sert a patient data disk firmly into the disk drive on the right side of the PRM until the disk ejection button protrudes.NOTE: For complete instructions on using the patient data disk, refer to the System Guide for the Guidant pulse generator being interrogated.Figure 10. Floppy disk (3.5 inch) with write-protect tab closed.Caring for DisksFloppy disks can be damaged easily, making them unusable. To prevent damage to the disks:• Write on labels before applying them to disks.Arrow on top and pointing to the disk driveDisk Drive Disk Ejection ButtonPatient Data Disk Write-protect tab closed(black tab covering hole)Sliding Shutter

20• Use only a felt-tipped pen to write on a label that is already applied to a disk.• Keep food and beverages away from disks and away from the PRM.• Keep disks away from heat or direct sunlight. Disks should be stored at temperatures between 5° and 60°C (41°–140°F).• Keep disks dry and stored in a dry area (with a relative humidity be-tween 8 percent and 80 percent).• Do not bend disks.• Do not attach paper clips, staples, or rubber bands to disks.• Do not try to open the sliding shutter that covers the disks (Figure 10).• Never touch the exposed disk area beneath the sliding shutter.NOTE: The write-protect tab must be closed in order to record data to the disk and to print reports. If data cannot be recorded to the disk, check to see that the tab is positioned to cover the hole (Figure 10).CAUTION: Keep disks away from magnets and magnetized objects, in-cluding telephones, power supply adapters, and monitors.Operation and Storage ConditionsThe Model 3120 PRM requires careful handling. The hard-disk drive and the floppy-disk drive must be protected from abusive handling. To protect the PRM from damage:• Do not turn off the PRM while the drive is accessing data.• Do not subject the PRM to abusive shocks or vibrations.• When transporting the PRM from a cold environment to a warm envi-ronment, allow the PRM to warm to ambient temperature before use.• Do not place heavy objects on the PRM surface when closed or when in operation.• Do not place a magnet on the PRM.• Do not pour or splash liquid into or onto the PRM.• Do not strike, scratch, nick or otherwise abuse the touchscreen sur-face.• Do not disassemble the PRM.• Remove any disks from the drive prior to transporting the PRM.• Turn off the PRM, close all covers and doors and put down the anten-na prior to transporting the PRM. • Unplug all external cables and cords prior to transporting the PRM.Operate the PRM within a temperature range of 10° to 40°C and a humid-ity between 20 and 95 percent. Transport and store the PRM at tempera-tures between –40× and 70×C, humidity of 5–95 percent, and pressure of 500–1,060 hPa. If the PRM has been stored in cold conditions (less than 10°C), turn it on and let the fan run for at least one hour before use.
