10.4 Measuring lead impedance
The Lead Impedance Test allows you to test the integrity of the implanted lead system by
measuring the impedance of the pacing and high-voltage electrodes. Impedance
measurements are made without delivering a high-voltage shock or pacing pulses that
capture the heart. The device makes these measurements by using low-voltage
subthreshold pulses.
10.4.1 Considerations for measuring lead impedance
Sensing measurement pulses – During a sequence of lead impedance measurements,
the device may sense the subthreshold test pulses as atrial refractory events or atrial sensed
events. The test pulses may also cause very small variations on one or more of the EGM
channels or the LECG channel. Pulses delivered during a Lead Impedance Test do not
capture the heart or affect tachyarrhythmia detection.
Tachyarrhythmia detection suspended – Tachyarrhythmia detection is suspended
during the Lead Impedance Test.
10.4.2 How to measure lead impedance
1. Select Tests > Lead Impedance.
2. Select [START Measurement]. Wait for confirmation of programming and an
in-progress message.
3. If necessary, end the test by selecting [STOP]. Lead impedance measurements are
not updated from a test that is stopped.
4. When the test is complete, the new measured impedance values for the tested
polarities are displayed.
You may determine if the lead impedance has changed by comparing the measured values
to the values reported on the Lead Impedance Trends screen and those measured during
previous follow-up appointments (look in the patient’s chart).
10.5 Performing a Sensing Test
The Sensing Test allows you to measure P-wave and R-wave amplitudes, which may be
useful for assessing lead integrity and sensing performance. The Sensing Test allows you
to temporarily program the Mode, AV Delay, and Lower Rate so that the device is not pacing
the patient and increases the likelihood that sensed events will occur. After the test has
started, you may continue to decrease the pacing rate until the intrinsic heart rhythm
prevails. The device measures amplitudes only on intrinsic events.
