Product Description
Diagnostic and Therapy Functions
Resynchronisation therapy
Triple-chamber devices have functions to configure different VV delays in order to
resynchronize the ventricles.
•
Capture Control is also available for the left ventricle with automated tracking of
the pacing threshold or automatic threshold monitoring (ATM) for trend
analysis.
•
To ensure that no additional surgery is necessary in case of a left-sided increase
of pacing threshold or undesired phrenic nerve stimulation, different pacing
polarities can be set for the left ventricular lead with a triple-chamber device.
Up to 13 vectors can be used with the HF QP device type.
•
8 series: With the QP device type, the LV vector test provides a fast
measurement of the pacing threshold, the phrenic nerve pacing threshold and
the pacing impedance. The relative influence on the service time is also
displayed. The measurement results are evaluated automatically so that the
optimal pacing polarity can be set.
The short RV-LV conduction test supports also the selection.
•
An additional diagnostic function with biventricular pacing: Variability of the
heart rate, patient activity, and thoracic impedance are monitored on a continual
basis.
Programs
There are two types of therapy programs:
•
Default parameters are offered for the most common indications
(ProgramConsult function).
•
Individual settings can be saved in 3 individual therapy programs.
Home Monitoring functions
The device automatically sends information to the transmitter once a day. In
addition to this, test messages can be initiated using the programmer. Important
medical information includes, among others, the following:
•
Ongoing atrial and ventricular arrhythmia
•
Parameters relevant to leads in the atrium and ventricle: thresholds, sensing
amplitudes, impedances
•
Current statistics on bradycardia therapy
•
Individually adjustable timing interval for device messages which provide
additional information pertaining to the device messages
•
IEGM online HD
®
with up to 3 high definition channels
•
Transmission of these IEGM recordings with device messages
