Elecve 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 expediously.
▪ Paent follow‑up visits should be scheduled at an appropriate frequency so that ERI can be detected well▪
before end‑of‑life (EOL).
Noninvasive Programmed Smulaon (NIPS)
▪
Life‑threatening ventricular tachycardia or brillaon may occur during noninvasive programmed
▪
smulaon (NIPS). During NIPS tesng, (1) closely monitor the paent and (2) have debrillaon and
resuscitaon equipment, and trained personnel, available during tesng. Only physicians trained in
tachycardia inducon and reversion protocols should use NIPS. For more informaon on NIPS, refer to the
programmer's on‑screen help.
Ventricular Support Pacing during NIPS tesng
▪
Dual‑chamber pulse generators and CRT‑Ps: Ventricular support pacing during NIPS tesng is delivered in
▪
the VOO mode. The specic indicaons and contraindicaons for VOO mode can be found on the
programmer's on‑screen help.
Precauons
Rate‑Adapve Pacing may be inappropriate for paents who experience angina or other symptoms of
myocardial dysfuncon at higher sensor‑driven rates. An appropriate Maximum Sensor Rate should be
selected based on assessment of the highest smulaon rate tolerated by the paent.
