Night Rate is the limit for the Hysteresis when Night Mode is
active. Programming conflicts arise when the total decrease
in rate is below 30 ppm. Care should be exercised to avoid
programming a Night Mode rate and hysteresis that are
below what is appropriate and may be tolerated by the
individual patient.
2.9.4.1 Repetitive Hysteresis
Repetitive hysteresis is expanded programmability of the
Hysteresis feature. Repetitive hysteresis searches for an intrinsic
cardiac rhythm, which may exist below the programmed lower
rate (or sensor-indicated rate) of the patient (see Figure 10
).
Following 180 consecutive sensed events, this feature allows the
intrinsic rhythm to drop to or below the hysteresis rate. During the
time when the intrinsic rate is at or below the hysteresis rate,
pacing occurs at the hysteresis rate for the programmed number
of beats (up to 10) in the Lumax 300/340 & 500/540 models and
at 10 beats with scan hysteresis in the Lumax 600/640 & 700/740
models. Should the number of programmed beats be exceeded,
the stimulation rate returns to the lower rate (or sensor-indicated
rate).
If an intrinsic cardiac rhythm is detected within the programmed
number of beats between the hysteresis rate and the lower rate,
the intrinsic rhythm is allowed and inhibits the pulse generator.
