System Overview
IS-1/IS4
The device labeling provides information pertaining to the connection assignment:
Leads
BIOTRONIK leads are sheathed in biocompatible silicone. They can be flexibly maneuvered, are stable long-term, and are equipped for active or passive fixation. They are implanted using a lead introducer set. Some leads are coated with polyurethane which is known to increase the gliding properties for the lead. Leads with steroids reduce inflammatory processes. The fractal design of the leads allows for low pacing thresholds, high pacing impedance, and a low risk of oversensing.
BIOTRONIK provides adapters to connect already implanted leads to new devices.
Telemetry
Telemetric communication between the device and the programmer can be carried out following initialization either by applying the programming head (PGH) to the device or by using wireless wandless telemetry in the programmer.
Programmer
Using the programmer, the pacing thresholds can be determined and all tests can be performed during implantation and in-office follow-up. In addition to this, the programmer is used to set mode and parameter combinations, as well as for interrogation and saving of data from the device. Leadless ECG, IEGM, markers and functions are displayed simultaneously on the color display.

Product Description
Diagnostic and Therapy Functions
Diagnostic and Therapy Functions
General overview
All the systems have extensive features that allow quick diagnosis and delivery of safe therapy for bradycardia conditions.
• Automatic functions make it easy and fast to implant, configure, and check the pacemaker.
• Auto-initialization after implantation: The device recognizes the implanted leads autonomously and sets the polarity. The automatic functions of the software are activated after 10
min.
Diagnostics functions
• Data from the last interrogations and follow-ups are recorded as well as arrhythmia episodes; they are stored together with other data to assess the state of both the patient and the device at any time.
• Continuous automatic below-threshold impedance measurements are performed in the device independent of the pacing pulse in order to check the lead for proper functioning.
• Once a telemetry connection has been established during a test procedure in an in-office follow-up, the IEGM is displayed with markers.
Antibradycardia pacing
• Sensing: The amplitudes of the P and R waves are measured in the implanted device fully automatically and permanently to record varying amplitudes. The sensitivity for the atrium and ventricle is adapted automatically on an ongoing basis. The measurement data are averaged and the trend can be displayed.
• Pacing thresholds: Pacing thresholds are automatically identified in the device, in single and dual-chamber devices the right ventricular, in triple-chamber devices the right and left ventricular pacing thresholds. Capture control adjusts the pulse amplitudes in such a way that every change of the pacing threshold results in the patient being paced at an optimal amplitude.
• Timing: Pacing in the atrium is checked particularly carefully in dual and triple­chamber devices by an automatic adaptation of the atrial refractory period in order to avoid pacemaker-mediated tachycardia (Auto PVARP function: the postventricular atrial refractory period is adapted automatically).
• Additional, special form of rate adaptation with devices from the 8 series: An increased cardiac output requirement is detected using physiological impedance measurement. The measuring principle is based on contractile changes (ionotropy) of the myocardium (CLS function: Closed Loop Stimulation). Rate adaptation is automatically initialized and optimized in CLS mode.
• Ventricular pacing suppression with devices from the 8 series: Unnecessary ventricular pacing is avoided by promoting intrinsic conduction (Vp suppression function). The device can adapt itself to conduction changes. In the case of intrinsic conduction, the device switches from a DDD(R) to an ADI(R) mode.
• 8 series: In the course of the follow-up, an automatic test of the AV delay is performed to improve the heart performance. AV delays are calculated; the optimum values can be applied.

Product Description
Diagnostic and Therapy Functions
Resynchronisation therapy
Triple-chamber devices have functions to configure different VV delays in order to resynchronize the ventricles.
• Capture Control is also available for the left ventricle with automated tracking of the pacing threshold or automatic threshold monitoring (ATM) for trend analysis.
• To ensure that no additional surgery is necessary in case of a left-sided increase of pacing threshold or undesired phrenic nerve stimulation, different pacing polarities can be set for the left ventricular lead with a triple-chamber device. Up to 13
vectors can be used with the HF QP device type.
• 8 series: With the QP device type, the LV vector test provides a fast measurement of the pacing threshold, the phrenic nerve pacing threshold and the pacing impedance. The relative influence on the service time is also displayed. The measurement results are evaluated automatically so that the optimal pacing polarity can be set.
The short RV-LV conduction test supports also the selection.
• An additional diagnostic function with biventricular pacing: Variability of the heart rate, patient activity, and thoracic impedance are monitored on a continual basis.
Programs
There are two types of therapy programs:
• Default parameters are offered for the most common indications (ProgramConsult function).
• Individual settings can be saved in 3 individual therapy programs.
ProMRI devices recognize
magnetic resonance imaging
devices
The static magnetic field of magnetic resonance imaging devices is reliably recognized with the aid of a sensor. This sensor can be activated for a maximum of 14 days using the MRI AutoDetect function during an interrogation.
If the patient comes near a magnetic resonance imaging device within the time set, the implanted device recognizes the static magnetic field and automatically activates the preset MRI program. Reprogramming to the permanent program occurs also automatically after leaving the imaging device.
Home Monitoring functions
The device automatically sends information to the transmitter once a day. In addition to this, test messages can be initiated using the programmer. Important medical information includes, among others, the following:
• Ongoing atrial and ventricular arrhythmia
• Parameters relevant to leads in the atrium and ventricle: thresholds, sensing amplitudes, impedances
• Current statistics on bradycardia therapy
• Individually adjustable timing interval for device messages which provide additional information pertaining to the device messages
• IEGM online HD® with up to 3 high definition channels
• Transmission of these IEGM recordings with device messages

General Safety Instructions
Possible Complications
Possible Complications
General information on
medical complications
Complications for patients and device systems generally recognized among practitioners also apply to BIOTRONIK devices.
• Normal complications may include fluid accumulation within the device pocket, infections, or tissue reactions. Primary sources of complication information include current scientific and technological knowledge.
• It is not possible to guarantee the efficacy of antiarrythmia therapy, even if the programs have proven successful during tests or subsequent electrophysiological examinations. In rare cases the set parameters can become ineffective. In particular it is inevitable that tachyarrhythmias may be induced.
Skeletal myopotentials
Bipolar sensing and control of sensitivity are adapted by the device to the rate range of intrinsic events so that skeletal myopotentials are usually not sensed. Skeletal myopotentials can nonetheless be classified as intrinsic events especially with a unipolar configuration and/or very high sensitivity and, depending on the interference, may cause inhibition or antiarrhythmia therapy.
Nerve and muscle stimulation
A device system consisting of a unipolar lead and an uncoated device may result in undesirable pacing of the diaphragm in the case of an initial or permanent high setting of the pulse amplitude.
Possible technical failures
Technical failure of a device system cannot be entirely ruled out. Possible causes may include the following:
• Lead dislodgement
• Lead fracture
• Insulation defects
• Device component failures
• Battery depletion
Electromagnetic interference
(EMI)
Any device can be sensitive to interference, for example, when external signals are sensed as intrinsic rhythm.
• BIOTRONIK devices have been designed so that their susceptibility to EMI is minimal.
• Due to the intensity and variety of EMI, there is no guarantee for safety. It is generally assumed that EMI produces only minor symptoms in patients - if any.
• Depending on the pacing mode and the type of interference, sources of interference may lead to pulse inhibition or triggering, an increase in the sensor-dependent pacing rate or asynchronous pacing.
• Under unfavorable conditions, for example during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, interference sources may induce such a high level of energy into the pacing system that the cardiac tissue surrounding the lead tip is damaged.
Device behavior in case of EMI
In the case of electromagnetic interference or undesired myopotentials, the device paces asynchronously for the duration of the time that the interference rate is exceeded.
Static magnetic fields
The pacemaker switches to magnet response from a field strength > 1.0 mT.

General Safety Instructions
Possible Risks
Possible Risks
Procedures to avoid
The following procedures must be avoided as they may cause harm to the patient or damage the device and, as a result, put the system functionality at risk:
• Therapeutic ultrasound
• Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
• Applied pressures higher than normal pressure
Potentially risky therapeutic
and diagnostic procedures
If electrical current from an external source is conducted through the body for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, then the device can be subjected to interference and the patient placed at risk.
Arrhythmia or ventricular fibrillation can be induced during diathermic procedures such as electrocautery, HF ablation or HF surgery. For example, damaging pressure levels may arise during lithotripsy. Influences on the device are not always immediately clear.
If potentially risky procedures cannot be avoided, the following should be observed at all times:
• Electrically insulate patients.
• Switch the pacemaker function to asynchronous modes if needed.
• Do not introduce energy near the device system.
• Check the peripheral pulse of the patient.
• Monitor the patient during and after every intervention.
External defibrillation
The device is protected against the energy that is normally induced by external defibrillation. Nevertheless, any implanted device may be damaged by external defibrillation. Specifically, the current induced in the implanted leads may result in necrotic tissue formation close to the electrode/tissue interface. As a result, sensing properties and pacing thresholds may change.
• Place adhesive electrodes anterior-posterior or perpendicular to the axis formed by the device to the heart at least 10 cm away from the device and from implanted leads.
Radiation therapy
The use of radiation therapy must be avoided due to possible damage to the device and the resulting impaired functional safety. If this type of therapy is to be used anyway, prior risk/benefit analysis is absolutely necessary. The complexity of influencing factors such as different sources of radiation, a variety of devices and therapy conditions makes it impossible to issue directives that guarantee radiation therapy without an impact on the device. The EN 45502 standard pertaining to active implantable medical devices requires the following measures during the administration of therapeutic ionizing radiation:
• Adhere to instructions for potentially risky therapeutic and diagnostic procedures.
• Shield device against radiation.
• After applying radiation, double-check the device system to make sure it is functioning properly.
Note: Please contact BIOTRONIK with questions on the risk/benefit analysis.
