Device Programming
Device communication. Use only the designated PRM and software application to communicate
with this pulse generator.
STAT PACE settings. When a pulse generator is programmed to S TAT PACE settings, it will continue to
pace at the high-energy STAT PACE values if it is not reprogrammed. The use of STAT PACE parameters
will likely decrease device longevity.
Pacing and sensing margins. Consider lead maturation in your choice of Pacing Amplitude, pacing
Pulse Width, and Sensitivity settings.
An acute Pacing Threshold greater than 1.5 V or a chronic Pacing Threshold greater than 3 V can
result in loss of capture because thresholds may increase over time.
An R-Wave A mplitude less than 5 mV or a P-Wave Amplitude less than 2 mV can result in
undersensing because the sensed amplitude may decrease after implantation.
Pacing Lead Impedance should be greater than the programmed Low Impedance Limit (between
200 and 500 ) and less than the programmed High Impedance Limit (between 2000 and 3000 ).
Proper programming of the shock vector. If the Shock Vector is programmed to RVcoil>>RAcoil and
the lead does not have an RA coil, shocking will not occur.
Programming for supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVTs). Determine if the device and
programmable options are appropriate for patients with SVTs because SVTs can initiate unwanted
device therapy.
Adaptive-rate pacing. Rate Adaptive Pacing should be used with care in patients who are unable to
tolerate increased pacing rates.
