NOTE:
When VCC is programmed to ON or ATM, the pulse width cannot be programmed to a value higher
than 0.4 ms.

The parameter “sensitivity” is used to set the pulse generator’s threshold for detecting intracardiac
signals. The lower the programmed sensitivity value, the higher the device’s sensitivity.
If intracardiac signals are of low amplitude, a change to a higher sensitivity (lower value) may be
necessary. Conversely, if the sensing amplifier is responding to extraneous signals, such as artifact
or interference, a change to a lower sensitivity (higher value) may resolve the difficulty. In dual-
chamber sensing modes, the sensitivity values for the atrial and ventricular channels are independently
programmable.
With unipolar sensing, the lowest sensitivity setting is 0.5 mV in the atrium. Blue conflict icons for the
atrial channel shown in
Figure 9
show a conflict message, requiring the user to program the lead to a
bipolar configuration before the value can be permanently programmed.
A conflict will appear when attempting to program 0.5 mV in the ventricle, as shown in
, with
unipolar sensing. The user is asked to extend the Ventricular Blanking after Ap to resolve the conflict.
This is done to reduce the potential of oversensing the atrial pacing spike with unipolar sensing. Once
resolved, the user can program 0.5 mV sensitivity in the ventricle.
If a sensing test has been performed, the sensing value is displayed at the bottom of the sensitivity
parameter to guide sensing programming of the device.
