8.2Lead Connection

Stratos CRT-Ps have been designed and are recommended for use with bipolar or unipolar leads having an IS-1 connector.

CAUTION

Unipolar/Bipolar – If the pacing or sensing function is to be programmed to bipolar in the atrial channel, it must be verified that bipolar leads have been implanted in that chamber. If the atrial lead is unipolar, unipolar sensing and pacing functions must be programmed in that chamber. Failure to program the appropriate lead configuration could result in patient experiencing entrance and/or exit block.

In addition, if the atrial lead polarity setting within the Patient Data Memory has been set to bipolar, the polarity of the corresponding implanted lead must be confirmed to be bipolar.

Overview of the Lead Polarities

If a bipolar lead is connected to the CRT-P, unipolar or bipolar configurations can be programmed for pacing and sensing. As compared to bipolar pacing, the unipolar pacing pulse has the advantage of being clearly identifiable on the ECG. Unipolar pacing occasionally results in muscle stimulation in the device pocket or diaphragm.
