NEW OR ENHANCED FEATURES
These pulse generator systems include additional features as compared to
previous products.
Ease of Use
• ZOOMVIEW Programmer Software: the new user interface offers the
following benefits:
– Clinical focus—features such as patient diagnostic trends and
indications-based programming emphasize the patient’s clinical
condition over device status and parameters.
– Consistency—ZOOMVIEW software will be available on future pulse
generators, providing the same screens whether you are following a
brady, tachy, or heart failure device.
– Simplic ity—screen complexity is reduced through the use of
progressive disclosure (displaying the information you use frequently
and m inimizing the information y ou only r arely access) and
exception-based reporting.
• Indications-Based Programming (IBP): the new ZOOMVIEW feature allows
you to quickly set up programming parameters based on the patient’s
clinical needs and indications.
Tachy Therapy
• Rhythm ID and Onse t/Stab ility detection: the selectio n betwe en de te ction
enhancements provides you the opportunity and flexibility to adjust for
individual patient conditions.
• QUICK CONVERT ATP: in an attempt to avoid an otherwise scheduled
charge and pain ful shock for a pace-terminable fast ventricular tachycardia
(VT), the pulse generator delivers one rapid burst of antitachycardia pacing
(ATP ) for an episode detected in the ventricu lar fib rillation (VF) zone.
• Programmable Shock Vectors: this capability allows you to electronically
change the shocking vectors for added flexibility in treatin g high
defibrillation thresholds (DFTs).
