The presentation of “Estimated Remaining Longevity” of the device
families noted in the previous section has been changed to improve the
usability and clinical accuracy of the systems.
Remaining longevity is a calculated estimate of the time remaining until
pacemaker replacement will be required. This calculated estimate is
based on the programmed parameter settings and event data
accumulated by the pacemaker since the previous patient session.
The representative screen (Figure 1) shows the explanation of the
longevity estimates.
