2.11 Special Features
The Lumax includes several special features to improve ease of
use and provide additional information to the user.
2.11.1 ICD Therapy Status
Interrogate the device to observe the ICD Therapy window (upper
right hand corner) of the main programming screen which
indicates the ICD Therapy status (either ON or OFF). The overall
ICD therapy can be controlled by selecting ON (enabled) or OFF
(disabled). If the device has not been interrogated, the
programmer displays “Unknown” highlighted in red in the ICD
therapy window.
W
ARNING
Unwanted Shocks – Always program ICD Therapy to OFF
prior to handling the device to prevent the delivery of serious
shocks to the patient or the person handling the device during
the implant procedure.
2.11.2 Home Monitoring
Home Monitoring enables the exchange of information about a
patient’s cardiac status from the implant to the physician. Home
Monitoring can be used to provide the physician with advance
reports from the implant and process them into graphical and
tabular format called a Cardio Report. This information helps the
physician optimize the therapy process, as it allows the patient to
be scheduled for additional clinical appointments between regular
follow-up visits if necessary.
