11 Introduction



• Automatic functions and the storage of follow-up data in the implant

simplify and accelerate the follow-up process.

Note: This technical manual describes all the features of

the Cylos line of pacemakers.

A special note of any features that apply only to

specific Cylos models will be made in the text or

margins.

NBG Code

DDDR is the NBG code

for Cylos DR/DR-T:

D Pacing in both chambers

D Sensing in both chambers

D Inhibition and triggering of pulses

R Rate adaptation

VVIR is the NBG code

for Cylos VR:

V Pacing in the ventricle

V Sensing in the ventricle

I Inhibition and triggering of pulses

R Rate adaptation

Programmer and Software

The pacemakers can only be programmed with appropriate

BIOTRONIK programmers, e.g., ICS 3000 or PMS 1000, along with the

current software version. The range of functions and available

parameters depend on the software module being used. Therefore, the

operation and availability of certain functions can differ from the

description in this manual. Specific information pertaining to the

programmable options is provided in the user manual of the respective

software module.
