Table 23. Backup and Target Rates
Feature Description
Backup Rate
Rate that the CRT-P uses to pace when
there is a sudden rate decrease. This can
be a maximum of 10 ppm less than the
intrinsic rate and follows the Target Rate with
a 1 to 6 ppm per cycle increase or
0.25…1.25 ppm per cycle If the Target Rate
is less than the current Back Up Rate.
Target Rate
The Target Rate is either the current
detection rate minus 10 ppm, or the sensor
or basic rate. The Backup Rate follows the
Target Rate with the programmed rate
increase or decrease.

2.17 Home Monitoring (Stratos LV-T)
Home Monitoring enables the exchange of information about a
patient’s cardiac status from the implant to the physician. Home
Monitoring can be used to provide the physician with advance
reports from the implant and can process them into graphical
and tabular format called a Cardio Report. This information
helps the physician optimize the therapy process, as it allows the
patient to be scheduled for additional clinical appointments
between regular follow-up visits if necessary.
