Repetitive hysteresis has been incorporated to promote
spontaneous cardiac rhythm and may reduce pulse generator
energy consumption.
NOTE:
Repetitive and Scan Hysteresis are only available when
Hysteresis is selected ON.
There is one Standard Hysteresis interval which occurs
before the programmable number of Repetitive Hysteresis.
2.9.4.2 Scan Hysteresis
Scan hysteresis is expanded programmability of the Hysteresis
feature. Scan hysteresis searches f
or an intrinsic cardiac rhythm,
which may exist just below the programmed lower rate (or
sensor-indicated rate). Following 180 consecutive paced events,
the stimulation rate is temporarily decreased to the hysteresis
rate for a programmed number of beats (see Figure 11
) in the
Lumax 300/340 & 500/540 models and at 10 beats with scan
hysteresis in the Lumax 600/640 & 700/740 models. If a cardiac
rhythm is not detected within the programmed number of beats at
the hysteresis rate, the stimulation rate returns back to the
original lower rate (or sensor-indicated rate). Several
programmable beat intervals are available to allow a greater
probability of detecting a spontaneous rhythm.
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 the pulse generator inhibits.
