PACE 203H – Instructions for Use
120 / 139 5I-17-016X-B-20
Cross blanking period Period during which the sensing function of the pulse
generator is disabled in one channel because of an
event in the other channel.
Escape interval Time between a sensed beat or a pulse and the
succeeding non-triggered pulse of a pulse generator.
External pacemaker Non-Implantable pulse generator and patient cables
(if used).
Inhibition The effect of the pulse suppression in a demand-
pacemaker at sensing of a cardiac depolarization or
other electrical influence in the same chamber.
Interference pulse rate Pulse rate with which the pulse generator responds
when it senses electrical activity other than that from
the myocardium and recognizes that as interference.
Lower rate interval (LRI) The longest period between consecutive (paced or
sensed) events occurring in the relevant chamber. (In
absence of sensed cardiac or other electrical influ-
ence: equal to basic pulse interval.)
Maximum tracking rate
(upper rate, MTR) Maximum ventricular pacing rate in response to
sensed atrial activity. Expressed differently it is the
maximum pulse rate at which the non-implantable
pulse generator will respond on a 1:1 basis to a trig-
gering signal.
Non-implantable pulse generator Medical electrical equipment with an internal electrical
power source which is intended for use outside the
body and which produces a periodic electrical pulse
intended to stimulate the heart through a lead (or
combination of lead and patient cable).
Patient Cable Device attached to the terminals of a non-implantable
pulse generator so that the distance between it and
the pacing lead can be increased.
