31 Non-invasive Programmed Stimulation
Non-invasive Programmed Stimulation
WARNING! Keep an external defibrillator available while using
the NIPS function.
The pulse delivery of implanted BIOTRONIK
pacemakers can be externally controlled through the
ICS 3000 via the properly positioned programming
head. In such instances, the pacemaker is operating in
a temporary standby mode. This type of stimulation is
called non-invasive programmed stimulation (NIPS);
how it functions depends on the respective implant
and software.
Analog Telemetry
Transmitting real-time measurement data from the
implant to the ICS 3000 is known as analog telemetry.
This includes the battery and electrode measurement
data as well as intracardiac electrograms with event
markers.
The EMI Test
The telemetry between the programming head and
the implant can be adversely affected by
electromagnetic interference (EMI). This can make it
difficult or even impossible to interrogate or program
the implant. This is the reason for the EMI test, a
feature you can use to locate the sources of the
electromagnetic interference. This test lets you locate
and eliminate the source of interference.
