In order for the generator to accurately detect heartbeats, the heartbeat
detection must be set for the individual patient. Manually select from a range
of heartbeat detection sensitivity values: 1 (least sensitive; for use with largest
amplitude ECG signals) to 5 (most sensitive; for use with smallest amplitude
ECG signals). The setting will not change unless manually programmed to a
different value.
When Detection is enabled, the software will walk you through heartbeat
detection setting verification and AutoStim Threshold selection.
To Verify Heartbeat Detection:
1. Select VERIFY

two minutes
