4 Stratos
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) – Avoid use of magnetic resonance imaging as it has been shown to cause movement of the
Rate Adaptive Pacing – Use rate adaptive pacing with care in patients unable to tolerate increased pacing rates.
NIPS – Life threatening ventricular arrhythmias can be induced by stimulation in the ventricle. Ensure that an external cardiac defibrillator is accessible during tachycardia testing. Only physicians trained and experienced in tachycardia induction and reversion protocols should use
High Output Settings – High output settings combined with extremely low lead impedance may reduce the life expectancy of the Stratos
1.5.1 Interactions with Other Medical Therapy
Before applying one of the following procedures, a detailed analysis of the advantages and risks should be made. Cardiac activity during one of these procedures should be confirmed by continuous monitoring of peripheral pulse or blood pressure. Following the procedures,
Therapeutic Diathermy Equipment – Use of therapeutic diathermy equipment is to be avoided for pacemaker patients due to possible heating effects of the
