    IS-1 leads. 5.7 Parameters for Rate-Adaptive Pacing The Edora, Evity, Enitra HF-T / HF-T QP pacemaker family achieves rate adaptation through programming of either standard motion-based pacing via a capacitive accelerometer or by the means of the principle of closed loop stimulation (CLS) which involves the translation of myocardial contractility into patient-specific pacing rates.

    By monitoring these changes, the pacemaker can provide a pacing rate that is appropriate and specific to the patient’s physiologic demands. For a complete list of rate-adaptive pacing modes available in the Edora, Evity, Enitra HF-T / HF-T QP pacemaker family, see Section 13.1.

    The range for normal lead impedance is from 100 to 2500 ohms. If the Edora, Evity, Enitra HF-T / HF-T QP pacemaker detects a bipolar lead failure, polarity for the respective lead will automatically be changed to unipolar configuration. A bipolar lead failure is verified if the lead impedance measurement falls outside of the acceptable range for three consecutive readings.
