Patient Data Memory
Individual patient data can be stored in the pacemaker. This data
includes the patient's name, patient code, symptoms, etiology, ECG
indication, implantation date, and lead polarity. The extent and type of
the stored data depends on the programmer software module being
used.
Storing Follow-up Data
Purpose
This function allows you to store up to 4 follow-ups in the implant. This
enables you to quickly detect the significant changes that occur
between the individual follow-ups.
Description
After interrogation of the implant, the stored follow-up data are
transmitted and can be displayed on the programmer. It is possible to
store data from the following follow-up tests:
— Date of the individual follow-ups
— Lead impedance in the atrium and ventricle
— Lead polarity for all follow-up tests
— The amplitudes of the P and R waves
— Atrial and ventricular thresholds
— Retrograde conduction time
— Battery status
Position Indicator for the Programming Wand
The programmer indicates via a visual and audible signal when the
programmer head is in telemetry contact with the pulse generator. This
eases positioning of the programming wand.
