2.5.8 Pulse Width
The Pulse Width parameter defines the duration of the pacing
pulses. The pulse width is independently set for normal and
post-shock bradycardia pacing.
2.5.9 Noise Response
The Cardiac Airbag ICD’s response to detected noise is to
deliver asynchronous pacing in ventricular channel.
2.5.10 Post Shock Pacing
Separately, bradycardia pacing support is available with the ICD

(1 second), the ICD will begin bradycardia therapy at the post
shock pacing rate, amplitude, and pulse width for the post shock
duration.
If bradycardia pacing is still required after the post shock
duration expires, standard bradycardia pacing parameters will be
utilized.
