User's Manual
To begin a ZIP telemetry session for VALITUDE devices, verify that the ZOOM Wireless Transmitter is
connected to the PRM via the USB cable and that the green light on top of the transmitter is illuminated.
To initiate communication with all devices, position the wand over the PG and use the PRM to Interrogate
the pulse generator. Keep the telemetry wand in position until either a message appears, indicating that
the telemetry wand may be removed from proximity of the pulse generator, or the ZIP telemetry light
illuminates on the PRM system. Select the End Session button to quit a telemetry session and return to
the startup screen. Radio frequency interference may temporarily disrupt ZIP telemetry communication.
Increasing the distance from the source of interfering signals or repositioning the ZOOM Wireless
Transm itter may improve ZIP telemetry performance. If ZIP telemetry performance is not satisfactory,
the option of using wanded telemetry is available.
2. Review the pulse generator’s current battery status. Counters should be at zero. If the pulse generator
battery status is not at full capacity, do not implant the pulse generator. Contact Boston Scientificusing
the information on the back cover.
3. If a unipolar pacing configuration is required at implant, program the Lead Configuration to Unipolar
before implant.
Step C: Implant the Lead System
The pulse generator requires a lead system for pacing and sensing.
Selection of lead configuration and specific surgical procedures is a matter of professional judgment. The
following leads are available for use with the pulse generator depending on the device model.
• Unipolar or bipolar atrial lead
• Unipolar or bipolar right ventricular lead.
• Unipolar or bipolar left ventricular lead
• Quadripolar left ventricular lead
NOTE: Using bipolar pacing leads will reduce the chance of myopotential sensing.
