Table 14. Pacer Refractory Test Custom Parameters
Parameter Description
Input Jacks Specifies where the pacer leads are attached on the Impulse 7000
Choose between pacer jacks or defib jacks.
Pacer Load Defines load used for the test
If defib jacks are used for the test, a 50 Ω load is used.
Brand The brand of defibrillator/pacer being tested can be specified to optimize the accuracy of the test.
DUT Rate Expected pacer rate; field user prompted to set pacemaker to this rate
DUT Amplitude Expected pacer amplitude; field user prompted to set the pacemaker output current to this value
Pacer Sensitivity Test
The Pacer Sensitivity test determines the threshold of
ECG amplitude required to trigger the pacemaker. Tables
15 and 16 list the Pacer Sensitivity test measurements
and custom parameters.
