50 Hz/Manual Burst Pacing
50 Hz/Manual Burst pacing induction is used to induce or terminate arrhythmias
and allows two separate pacing inductions, both of which can be delivered to
either the atrium or ventricle.
Manual Burst pacing pulses are delivered in XOO mode (where X is the
chamber) at the programmed EP Test pacing parameters through the
rate-sensing leads. For Atrial Manual Burst, backup pacing parameters are
provided.
Performing Manual Burst Pacing
1. Select the 5 0 Hz/Manual Burst option.
2. Select the desired value for the Burst Interval, Minimum, and Decrement.
This indicates the cycle length of the intervals in the drive train.
3. Select the Enable checkbox.
4. To deliver the burst, select and hold the Hold for Burst button.
The ventricular Manual Burst will be delivered up to 30 seconds as long as
the Hold for Burst button is held and the telemetry link is m aintained.
The atrial Manual Burst will be delivered up to 45 seconds as long as the
Hold for Burst button is held and the telemetry link is maintained. The
intervals will continue to be de cremented until the minimum in te rval is
reached, then all further pulses will be at the Minimum interval.
5. To stop the burst delivery, release the Hold for Burst button. The Hold for
Burst button will become dimmed again.
