11. Lead Connection
Evia pulse generators have been designed and are
recommended for use with bipolar or unipolar leads having an
IS-1 connector. The IS-1 configured leads may be placed in one
or both chambers of the heart, depending upon model selected.

Unipolar/Bipolar
– All Evia models can be used with either
unipolar or bipolar IS-1 leads.
If the pacing or sensing function is to be programmed to
bipolar
, it must be verified that
bipolar leads
have been
implanted in that chamber. If either of the leads is
unipolar
,
unipolar
sensing and pacing functions must be programmed
in that chamber. Failure to program the appropriate lead
configuration could result in entrance and/or exit block.

:
Connecting systems with a 3.2 mm configuration that do not
expressly claim to agree with the IS-1 dimensions generally
have to be regarded as incompatible with IS-1 connectors
and can only be used with BIOTRONIK products together
with an appropriate adapter. For questions regarding
lead-generator compatibility, consult your BIOTRONIK
representative.
In case of pulse generator replacement, make sure that the
existing lead connector and lead are not damaged.
