The basic rate timer is started by a sensed or paced event. A
sensed event outside of the refractory period inhibits pacing and
resets the lower rate time; in the absence of a sensed event, a
pacing pulse will be delivered at the end of the lower rate interval.
The pacing modes with an “R” indicate rate adaptive pacing
controlled by a motion based capacitive sensor. These modes are
functionally the same as the corresponding non-rate-adaptive
modes, except that the pacing rate is increased based on
physical activity.
2.9.2 Basic Rate
The basic rate is the pacing rate in the absence of a patient’s
intrinsic rhythm. This rate may be independently programmed for
normal and post-shock bradycardia pacing.
2.9.3 Night Rate
The night rate is the effective basic rate during the programmed
“sleep” period for the patient. This parameter provides a different
pacing rate during the patient’s normal sleep time in an attempt to
match, for example, the decreased metabolic needs during sleep.
When Night Mode is active, the basic rate automatically changes
to the programmed NIGHT RATE during the nighttime hours.
