Table 23. Backup and Target Rates

Feature	Description
Backup Rate	Rate that the CRT-P uses to pace when
	there is a sudden rate decrease. This can
	be a maximum of 10 ppm less than the
	intrinsic rate and follows the Target Rate with
	a 1 to 6 ppm per cycle increase or
	0.25…1.25 ppm per cycle If the Target Rate
	is less than the current Back Up Rate.
Target Rate	The Target Rate is either the current
	detection rate minus 10 ppm, or the sensor
	or basic rate. The Backup Rate follows the
	Target Rate with the programmed rate
	increase or decrease.

2.17 Home Monitoring (Stratos LV-T)

Home Monitoring enables the exchange of information about a patient’s cardiac status from the implant to the physician. Home Monitoring can be used to provide the physician with advance reports from the implant and can process them into graphical and tabular format called a Cardio Report. This information helps the physician optimize the therapy process, as it allows the patient to be scheduled for additional clinical appointments between regular follow-up visits if necessary.
