The implanting physician can select any standard ventricular pacing leads with the
following characteristics:
• Bipolar lead approved for transvenous intracardiac ventricular pacing.
• Standard IS-1 bipolar connector.
• Active fixation with electrically-active corkscrew distal electrode with a minimal
electrically-active surface area of 3.6 mm
2
.
• Distal electrode coated with low-polarization coating (e.g. titanium nitride or
iridium oxide).
Note: The leads qualified for delivering CCM signals from OPTIMIZER IPGs must be
commercial models that are FDA approved.
1.2 OPTIMIZER Smart IPG Lead Connectors
The connector block accepts three (3) bipolar IS-1-BI connectors. The terminals are
marked as follows:
• “A”: Atrium
• “V”: Ventricle
• “LS”: Local sense

When using unipolar ventricular or atrial sensing, the case of the OPTIMIZER Smart device serves as indifferent electrode. The
local sense (LS) polarity is always bipolar.

Tests have revealed that these materials are biocompatible. The OPTIMIZER Smart IPG does not cause any temperature
elevation capable of damaging the surrounding tissue.
