Diagnosis and therapy forms The cardiac rhythm is automatically monitored and bradycardia arrhythmias are treated. All major therapeutic approaches from the field of cardiology and electrophysiology are unified in this pacemaker family. BIOTRONIK ® Home Monitoring enables physicians to perform therapy management at any time.
Guidelines of cardiological Generally approved differential diagnostic methods, indications, and societies recommendations for pacemaker therapy apply to BIOTRONIK devices. The guidelines provided by cardiology associations offer decisive information: • We recommend observing the indications published by the German Cardiac Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie, Herz- und Kreislaufforschung) and the ESC (European Society of Cardiology).
Product Description Contraindications Contraindications Guidelines No contraindications are known for the implantation of multifunctional single- chamber, dual-chamber, or triple-chamber pacemakers, provided differential diagnostics precedes implantation according to the appropriate guidelines and no modes or parameter combinations are configured that pose a risk to the patient. Pacing modes and parameters The compatibility and effectiveness of parameter combinations must be checked and, as the case may be, adapted after programming.
• Only quadripolar leads must be connected to the IS4 connector on device type HF QP with IS4. Note: Use only adapters approved by BIOTRONIK for leads with different connec- tions. • If you have any questions concerning the compatibility of other manufacturers' leads, please contact BIOTRONIK.

Left ventricle HF QP Leads BIOTRONIK leads are sheathed in biocompatible silicone. They can be flexibly maneuvered, are stable long-term, and are equipped for active or passive fixation. They are implanted using a lead introducer set. Some leads are coated with polyurethane which is known to increase the gliding properties for the lead.

Multisite pacing in both ventricles ® BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring In addition to effective pacing therapy, BIOTRONIK provides a complete therapy management system: • With Home Monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic information and technical data are automatically sent to a stationary or mobile transmitter via an antenna in the device header.
Product Description Diagnostic and Therapy Functions Diagnostic and Therapy Functions General overview All the systems have extensive features that allow quick diagnosis and delivery of safe therapy for bradycardia conditions. • Automatic functions make it easy and fast to implant, configure, and check the pacemaker.

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.
— Technical manuals for cables, adapters and accessories • Technical manuals are either included in hard copy form in the storage package or in digital form on the internet: manuals.biotronik.com • Follow all relevant technical manuals. • Keep technical manuals for later use.
Any device can be sensitive to interference, for example, when external signals are (EMI) sensed as intrinsic rhythm. • BIOTRONIK devices have been designed so that their susceptibility to EMI is minimal. • Due to the intensity and variety of EMI, there is no guarantee for safety. It is generally assumed that EMI produces only minor symptoms in patients - if any.
• Adhere to instructions for potentially risky therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. • Shield device against radiation. • After applying radiation, double-check the device system to make sure it is functioning properly. Note: Please contact BIOTRONIK with questions on the risk/benefit analysis.

Under certain conditions and when maintaining mandatory measures to protect the patient and the device system, magnetic resonance imaging can be performed. BIOTRONIK devices with the "MR conditional" function bear the identification ProMRI. • The ProMRI manual – MR conditional device systems – contains detailed information on safely conducting an MRI.
— Triple-chamber device: an additional unipolar, bipolar, or quadripolar LV lead • Approved connections are IS-1 and IS4: Use only adapters approved by BIOTRONIK for leads with different connections or leads from other manufacturers. • BIOTRONIK programmer (with integrated wandless telemetry or with separate SafeSync Module) and approved cables •...

Avoid damage to the header Set screws must be tightened or loosened with care. • Loosen set screws with the supplied screwdriver. Use only BIOTRONIK screwdrivers with torque control! • If lead revision is necessary, re-order sterile screwdrivers from BIOTRONIK.

Implantation Precautionary Measures while Programming Consider power consumption The pacemaker permits programming of high pulse amplitudes with long pulse and service time widths at high rates to be able to adequately treat even rare diagnoses. In combination with low lead impedance, this results in a very high level of power consumption.
Applying a magnet or the programming head can result in an unphysiological program rhythm change and asynchronous pacing. The magnet response is set as follows in the standard program of BIOTRONIK pacemakers: • Asynchronous: For the duration of the magnet application – mode D00 (where applicable ...
