Elective Replacement Indicator (ERI)
▪
▪
At ERI, the nominal life of the device is six months. When the device exhibits signs of ERI it should be
replaced expeditiously.
▪
▪
Patient follow‑up visits should be scheduled at an appropriate frequency so that ERI can be detected well
before end‑of‑life (EOL).
Noninvasive Programmed Stimulation (NIPS)
▪
▪
Life‑threatening ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation may occur during noninvasive programmed
stimulation (NIPS). During NIPS testing, (1) closely monitor the patient and (2) have defibrillation and
resuscitation equipment, and trained personnel, available during testing. Only physicians trained in
tachycardia induction and reversion protocols should use NIPS. For more information on NIPS, refer to the
programmer's on‑screen help.
Ventricular Support Pacing during NIPS testing
▪
▪
Dual‑chamber pulse generators and CRT‑Ps: Ventricular support pacing during NIPS testing is delivered in
the VOO mode. The specific indications and contraindications for VOO mode can be found on the
programmer's on‑screen help.
Precautions
Rate‑Adaptive Pacing
myocardial dysfunction at higher sensor‑driven rates. An appropriate Maximum Sensor Rate should be
selected based on assessment of the highest stimulation rate tolerated by the patient.
