Programming
For a list of programmable parameters and their programmable values, refer to the programmer's on‑screen
help.
Setting Lead Type.
When you interrogate the device for the first time, the programmer will prompt you to set
the Lead Type. CRT‑Ps: the right and left ventricular lead types are independently set. Because some
parameters are determined by the Lead Type, for example, Pulse Configuration, you should set this parameter
when the device is implanted. Devices with Auto Lead Polarity Detection (ALPD) will automatically detect and
program the lead type and sensing configurations. This feature will be suspended during telemetry and for
one minute after telemetry is completed.
Lead Impedance Values.
CRT‑Ps: independent lead impedance values are displayed for the RV and LV leads.
Ventricular Pulse Amplitudes and Pulse Widths.
CRT‑Ps: the right and left ventricular pulse amplitudes and
pulse widths are independently programmable. The pulse amplitude should be evaluated in each chamber
accordingly. Capture thresholds are typically higher in the left ventricle.
Follow‑up Capture Threshold Measurements.
CRT‑Ps: the RV and LV capture threshold measurements are
evaluated independently. During an RV or LV capture test, you may be able to determine when capture is
occurring by noting changes in the ECG morphology. Capture tests are not performed in triggered ventricular
pacing modes. Upon initiation, the pacing mode is temporarily programmed to the corresponding inhibited
mode. For additional information, refer to the programmer's on‑screen help.
AOO(R), VOO(R), and DOO(R) Modes
are primarily intended for temporary diagnostic use. Long‑term use
may result in competitive pacing, inducing potentially dangerous arrhythmias.
Off mode
is not recommended for patients who would be adversely affected by even a short cessation of
device function.
