5.4.5 NIPS Safety Features
The BIOTRONIK offers the following safety features during NIPS
sessions.
• Before the NIPS feature can be used, NIPS must be
specifically selected and then is released through user
acknowledgment. In addition, before NIPS is performed
in the Ventricle, the user must acknowledge that
delivering NIPS into the Ventricle may induce dangerous
arrhythmias.
• When the battery voltage has reached the Elective
Replacement Indicator point (ERI), the NIPS feature is
no longer available.
• Ventricular pacing support is available to CRT-P
dependent patients during burst or programmed burst
stimulation through the back up pacing program as long
as the wand is within 15 cm of the CRT-P. Removing
the programmer wand or placement to distance greater
than 15 cm from the implanted device returns the CRT-P
to its permanent program.
• NIPS may only be programmed temporarily.
NOTE:
High pacing rates and pulse amplitudes together with wide
pulse widths may temporarily decrease the amplitude of the
pacing pulse. The pacing pulse must be continuously
verified with an ECG to assure effectiveness.
To perform NIPS function, the programmer wand must be
placed directly over the CRT-P to enable continuous
telemetry.
