Sense signalling By flashing of the green LED at each recognition of R wave

Anti-runaway 200 ppm, with warning circuit independent of the microprocessor
Pace signalling By flashing of the red LED for each stimulus emitted
Stimulation output Black/red safety sockets for 2 mm pins
The neutral socket is of red colour; the active socket is black
Stimulation method
Asynchronous (V00) and on demand (VVI) - A00, AAI (0,75 mV - see
(
∗
))
In the VVI mode, detected rate values which exceed 300 ppm are interpreted as
disturbance condition: the 4427 Easypace indicates EMI and change over V00
mode at the set rate
In the V00 mode, the sense signal is ignored and does not inhibit the stimulation
Additional functions BURST x4 (quadruple of set frequency rate stimulation)
RAMP (decreasing frequency rate of 8 ppm/stimulus)
EMERGENCY (V00, 72 ppm, 20 mA)
AUTO (VVI, automatic adjustment of sense, amplitude and frequency rate)
Special and safety functions device self-test at power on
Stand-by mode for setting stimulation and sense parameters under no-stimulation
condition
Protection against defibrillator discharges
Integrity checking of Patient connection during stimulation mode
Continuous checking of batteries charge level
