As the threshold test begins, the selected pacing parameters are transmitted temporarily to the device.
These parameters are default parameters (i.e.: the parameters programmed between test parameters)
and should be adjusted to guarantee capture. The rate should be programmed above the patient’s
intrinsic rate to prevent inhibition. Thereafter, test amplitudes can be decremented until capture is
lost; and the threshold is determined. The test amplitude will change only when new amplitudes are
selected and the Number of Pulses is programmed to “∞”. Otherwise, a set number of pulses (1-10)
will be delivered with each new test amplitude before reverting back to the starting value. The default
parameters will be reprogrammed between test selections.
When each test is complete, the user is prompted to enter the threshold value, which is stored for future
reference. The ECG strip from the entire test is printed if Report is set to a user-defined printer speed.
Otherwise an annotated version of the test can be printed after the test by selecting the “Print” button,
which is found in the lower left corner of the screen.
To determine the threshold, the ECG or IEGM must be observed continuously. Based on the measured
threshold, the pulse amplitude for the permanent program should be adjusted. Please consult the
pertinent medical literature for specific recommendations regarding necessary safety margins.
10.4 P/R Measurement
The Evia CRT-P sensing test is the first test that appears when selecting the Tests button on the right
hand side of the programmer screen, shown in
. The Evia CRT-P provides multiple test
. All bolded values can be changed by the user at any time.
When the Sensing test is started, the minimum, mean and maximum values of each chamber
measured by the device will be displayed. Typically, there should not be large variations between the
minimum, mean and maximum values. If large variations are seen, one should review the strip for
premature events (PVCs) or possibly an unstable lead.
The Sensing test is performed via the
START
or
INTRINSIC
RHYTHM
button.
