The Abbott Endurity Core PM2272 is not listed among the MR Conditional devices in the provided context. Before performing an MRI scan on a patient with this pacemaker, it is necessary to contact Abbott Medical or consult regulatory authorities to determine if it is approved for MRI use.

  • Page 6: Intended Purpose

    Intended Purpose The Abbott pacemakers are implantable pulse generators that, when used in combination with compatible pacing leads, are intended to detect and treat chronic symptomatic bradyarrhythmia and various atrioventricular conduction abnormalities by providing sensing and pacing in the right ventricle and/or right atrium.
  • Page 7: Intended Patient Population

    CRT devices are indicated in patients with congestive heart failure, a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and a prolonged QRS duration. The device is most commonly implanted within a device pocket in the pectoral region. NOTE: For patient-specific recommendations, such as primary and secondary prevention, refer to the respective current clinical guidelines of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC) or European Society for Cardiology (ESC), as well as those of other national cardiology associations.

    Do not implant a device that has been dropped on a hard surface while outside of its intact shelf package, or from a height of more than 61 cm (24 in.) while within its intact shelf package. Sterility, integrity, or function cannot be guaranteed under these conditions, and the device should be returned to Abbott Medical for inspection.
  • Page 18: Environmental Hazards

    Return the device to Abbott Medical. Environmental Hazards Abbott Medical devices are equipped with special shielding and filters that significantly reduce the adverse effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the operation of the device. However, high‑energy induced or conducted currents can reset the programmed parameters and damage the pulse generator and tissue surrounding the implanted lead electrodes.

    Metal Detectors ▪ ▪ Advise patients that metal detector security systems such as those found in airports and government buildings emit signals that may interact with pulse generators and CRT‑P devices. To minimize the possibility of interaction, advise patients to simply walk through these areas at a normal pace and avoid lingering.
  • Page 23 ▪ ▪ Advise patients to not carry earbuds or headphones in their breast pocket or near implant area, and to not allow earbuds or headphones to drape around the patient's neck so they hang on the chest. These devices may contain a magnet or magnetic material, or may emit RF signals that can interfere with the pulse generator and may cause the pulse generator to pace abnormally.

  • Page 25 Capture/Sensing Thresholds. Capture and sensing thresholds should be determined with a PSA before implanting the device. Connect the negative (black) PSA terminal to the portion of the lead terminal pin corresponding to the tip electrode. Connect the positive (red) terminal to the ring electrode portion of the lead pin for bipolar leads or to an indifferent electrode.

When you interrogate the device for the first time, the programmer will prompt you to set the Lead Type. CRT‑Ps: the right and left ventricular lead types are independently set. Because some parameters are determined by the Lead Type, for example, Pulse Configuration, you should set this parameter when the device is implanted.
