10. Explantation
Explanted devices and accessories may not be reused.
Explanted CRT-Ps can be delivered to the local BIOTRONIK
representative or the BIOTRONIK home office for expert
disposal. If possible, the explanted devices should be cleaned
with a sodium-hyperchlorine solution of at least 1% chlorine and,
thereafter, washed with water prior to shipping.
All implantable electronic devices should be explanted before
cremation of a deceased patient.
CAUTION
Device Incineration - Never incinerate a CRT-P. Be sure the
CRT-P is explanted before a patient who has died is
cremated. (see Section 10)
Explanted Devices – Return all explanted devices to
BIOTRONIK.
