Used - Good MEDTRONIC 5348 ssi

We have a few of these pulse generators left in stock, all complete, apparently working and without damage. The controls are fully functional, the display clear and responsive and there are no cracks or other damage on the pacemaker's housings or keypads. The device may be returned for a refund if it is found to be defective or damaged when inspected. The listed price is for the purchase of a 5348 pacemaker as pictured without a 5433A or 5433V patient cable or a Medtronic soft shell carrying case.. A copy of this manual may also be downloaded at no charge from online sources. If you are replacing a damaged unit, I do have a couple of these missing their metal clips from the rear which are available for $25 less than the listed price. (please write before you buy in order to get this price). I have no patient cables / lead sets / heart wires of any kind available for sale at this time, nor do I have a source for them.

According to the manufacturer:

The Medtronic Model 5348 is a temporary, battery-powered, single chamber pacemaker designed primarily for temporary antibradycardia pacing therapy in asynchronous or demand (synchronous) modes. High-rate burst pacing therapy up to 800 min-1 (reciprocal minutes) (ppm [pulses per minute]), for tachyarrhythmias, is available in the asynchronous mode1.
The device is typically connected to temporary transvenous, epicardial or myocardial pacing leads, in a bipolar configuration using a patient cable (Medtronic Model 5433A or 5433V) or a surgical cable (Medtronic Model 5832 or 5832S).

The Medtronic model 5348 pacemaker is intended to be used in conjunction with a cardiac pacing lead system for temporary atrial or ventricular pacing in a clinical environment. The Model 5348 can be used where short-term demand (synchronous) or asynchronous pacing is indicated for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic purposes. Specific indications for temporary cardiac pacing include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Sinus bradycardia;
* Sick Sinus Syndrome;
* Complete heart block;
* Bradycardia with congestive heart failure;
* Atrial and/or ventricular arrhythmias;
* Cardiac arrest;
* Temporary support, management, and evaluation of a patient prior to permanent pacemaker implantation;
* Support during permanent pacemaker replacement;
* Cardiac complications during invasive or surgical procedures;
* Temporary support of a patient following cardiac surgery;
* Acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart block; and
* High-rate burst pacing for the treatment of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias.

The Model 5348 can be used to determine sensing potentials of temporary and permanently implanted lead systems. When implanting a permanent pacemaker, however, Medtronic recommends the use of a Medtronic Pacing System Analyzer.

The Medtronic Model 5348 is designed to be reliable, simple to operate, and comfortable to hold. Safety features of the Model 5348 include:
* Self-tests;
* Low Battery indicator;
* Continuous operation during battery replacement (at 80 min-1 [ppm], 10 mA) for a minimum of 15 seconds;
* Reversible battery polarity;
* Protective covers over the controls and a rubber seal covering the heartwire receptacles;
* Safe “power-off” operation (Two buttons must be pressed simultaneously to turn the device off.);
* Cautionary label at the Rapid Atrial Pacing (RAP) controls;
* Detents (mechanical restrictions of dial movement) on the RATE and SENSITIVITY dials to highlight extremes or potentially hazardous settings;
* Safety cables (recessed pins);
* Runaway rate protection;
* Protection from defibrillation shock up to 360 watt-seconds;
* Electrostatic protection; and
* Minimized susceptibility to electromagnetic and magnetic interference.
* Modes: Synchronous (AAI/VVI) (demand) and asynchronous (AOO/VOO)
* Base level pacing rates: 30 - 180 min-1 (ppm) (continuously adjustable) ± 10%a
* Rapid atrial pacing rates:
80 - 380 min-1 (ppm)
(5 min-1 [ppm] increments) ± 10%
380 - 540 min-1 (ppm)
(10 min-1 [ppm]) increments) ±10%
540 - 800 min-1 (ppm)
(20 min-1 [ppm]) increments) ± 10%
* Output amplitude: 0.1 - 20 mA (continuously adjustable) ± 15% plus ± 0.1 mAa
* Pulse width: 1.8 ms ± 10%b
* Sensitivity: ASYNC., 0.5 to 20 mV (continuously adjustable) ± 25% or ± 0.30 mV (whichever is greater), including polarity disparitya,c
* Refractory: 250 ms ± 5%d
* Blanking: Pace: 125 ms (+ 50 ms; - 0 ms)d
* Sense: 75 ms (+ 50 ms; - 0 ms)d
* Rate limit: A crystal is used to set the pacing rate. If the crystal rate deviates from the appropriate value, the rate runaway protection circuit resets the device once. If the crystal rate remains incorrect, the rate runaway protection circuit turns the device off.
* Height: approximately 18.8 cm (7.4 inches)
* Width: approximately 6.1 cm (2.4 inches)
* Depth: approximately 4.1 cm (1.6 inches)
* Weight: approximately 283 g (10 oz.) (with battery)
* Operating temperature: 10°C to 43°C (50°F to 110°F)e
* Storage temperature: -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F) (without battery)
* Storage humidity: 90% maximum
* Battery type: Standard 9 V, Alkaline Type 6LR61 or Type 6F22E or equivalent
