Replacement Indication

Remaining Service Time after ERI
The following tables show the mean
1
and minimum
2
values for the
remaining service time between reaching the ERI (elective replacement
indication) and magnet rate after reaching replacement indication EOS
(end of service) for the standard program
3
and a program with a higher
pulse energy.
4
The data are based on a lead impedance of 500 Ohms, 100% pacing
and the data supplied by the battery manufacturer. These times are at
most 30% shorter at a lead impedance of 300 Ohms instead of 500
Ohms.
