6. Other Functions/Features
Stratos CRT-Ps offer many additional functions and features to
assist with the physician in the care of the pacemaker patient.
6.1 Temporary Programming
CAUTION
OFF Mode – The OFF mode can be transmitted as a
temporary program only to permit evaluation of the patient’s
spontaneous rhythm. (see Section 2.1.11).
A temporary program is a pacing program which remains
activated while the programming head is positioned over the
CRT-P. Upon removal of the programming head (at least 10 cm
away from the CRT-P), the temporary program will be
automatically deactivated and the permanent program will again
be in effect.
Generally, every pacing program displayed on the programmer
screen may be transmitted as a temporary program by pressing
the key designated on the programmer keyboard. With few
exceptions, this also applies to pacing programs containing a
parameter conflict, which cannot be programmed as permanent
programs. Temporary programming facilitates follow-up and
enhances patient safety. Test programs affecting patient safety,
like pacing threshold measurements in a pacemaker-dependent
patient, should be activated as a temporary program only.
When interrogating Stratos CRT-Ps, the permanent program will
always be displayed and documented, even though a temporary
program was activated during the interrogation.
During temporary program activation, the rate adaptation, trend
monitor, and the event counter are always inactive.
