Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual 141

Lead Compatibility

The Stratos CRT-Ps have been designed for connection with a bipolar lead in the atrium and two bipolar leads in the ventricle. All connections are IS-1 compatible. Appropriate adapters (e.g., A1-A) should be fitted when using leads with a different connection.

NOTE:

Connecting systems with a 3.2 mm configuration that do not expressly claim to agree with the IS-1 dimensions generally have to be regarded as incompatible with IS-1 connectors and can only be used with BIOTRONIK products together with an appropriate adapter. For questions regarding lead- device compatibility, consult your BIOTRONIK representative.

In case of device replacement, ensure that the existing lead connector and leads are not damaged.

CAUTION

Lead / CRT-P Compatibility – Because of the numerous available 3.2-mm configurations (e.g., the IS-1 and VS-1 standards), lead/ CRT-P compatibility should be confirmed with the CRT-P and/or lead manufacturer prior to the implantation of the system.

IS-1, wherever stated in this manual, refers to the international standard, whereby leads and generators from different manufacturers are assured a basic fit. [Reference ISO 5841- 3:1992(E)].
