Product Description
DF4/IS-1 lead connection
The device labeling provides information pertaining to possible lead connections
depending on the device type and pertaining to connection assignment:
Leads
BIOTRONIK leads are sheathed with biocompatible silicone. They can be flexibly
maneuvered, are stable long-term, and are equipped for active or passive fixation.
They are implanted using a lead introducer set. Some leads are coated with poly-
urethane which is known to increase the sliding properties for the lead. Leads with
steroids reduce inflammatory processes. The fractal design of the electrodes pro-
vides for low pacing thresholds. BIOTRONIK provides adapters to connect already
implanted leads to new devices.
Telemetry
Telemetric communication between the device and the programmer can be carried
out following initialization either by applying the programming head (PGH) to the
device or by using radio frequency (RF) telemetry in the programmer. BIOTRONIK
calls this function SafeSync
®
.
Programmer
Implantation and follow-up are performed with BIOTRONIK's portable pro-
grammer. There is one with integrated RF telemetry and one with a separate
SafeSync Module. The programmer is used during implantation to transfer the
current device program to the device. The pacing thresholds can be determined
and all tests can be performed during in-office follow-up. In addition to this, the
programmer is used to set mode and parameter combinations, as well as for inter-
rogation and saving of data from the device. Leadless ECG, IEGM, markers and
functions are displayed simultaneously on the color display.
