3. Follow-up Procedures
3.1 General Considerations
The CRT-P follow-up serves to verify appropriate function of the
pacing system, and to optimize the parameter settings.
In most instances, pacing system malfunction attributed to
causes such as chronic threshold can be corrected by
reprogramming the CRT-Ps. The follow-up intervals are,
therefore, primarily determined by medical judgment, taking
possible pacemaker dependency into consideration.
The following notes are meant to stress certain product features,
which are of importance for follow-up visit. For detailed
information on follow-up procedures and medical aspects,
please refer to the pertinent medical literature.
A detailed description of the follow-up functions and the
programming procedures are provided in the corresponding
software manual.
CAUTION
Programming Modifications – Extreme programming
changes should only be made after careful clinical
assessment. Clinical judgment should be used when
programming permanent pacing rates below 40 ppm or above
100 ppm.
