146 Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual
The pacing rate decreases by 11% when programmed to
DDD(R), DDT(R), D00(R), VDD(R), VDI(R), VDT(R), VVI(R),
VVT(R), AAI(R), AAT(R), or A00(R).
In DDI(R), DDI/T(R), DVI(R), and DVT(R) modes, only the V-A
delay is extended by 11%. This reduces the pacing rate by
4.5-11%, depending on the programmed AV delay.
The Stratos CRT-Ps indicate the need for replacement by a
defined decrease of its rate after magnet application and the
programmer displays it upon interrogation of the programmed
parameters. The magnet rate in all modes decreases as shown
in Table 30
.

If the CRT-P is programmed to dual chamber pacing, it will
switch to single chamber pacing when it reaches the elective
replacement indication. The “ERI mode” varies according to the
programmed pacing mode and is indicated by the pulse
generator. Upon reaching the replacement indication, the
following functions are automatically deactivated:
Post-AES pacing
Preventive overdrive pacing
Rate adaptation
Rate fading
