142 Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual

Connecting the Stratos LV with the IS-1 Connector

In order to avoid programming errors with the Stratos LV, always connect the leads to the following ports:

Bipolar lead in right atrium Bipolar lead in right ventricle

Unipolar and/or Bipolar lead in left ventricle

Figure 10. Connecting the Leads

Stratos CRT-Ps have a self-sealing header. Refer to the following steps when connecting a lead(s) to the CRT-P.

First, confirm that the setscrew(s) is not protruding into the connector receptacle. To retract a setscrew, insert the enclosed torque wrench through the perforation in the self-sealing plug at an angle perpendicular to the lead connector until it is firmly placed in the setscrew.

CAUTION

Setscrew Adjustment – Back-off the setscrew(s) prior to insertion of lead connector(s) as failure to do so may result in damage to the lead(s), and/or difficulty connecting lead(s).

Cross Threading Setscrew(s) – To prevent cross threading the setscrew(s), do not back the setscrew(s) completely out of the threaded hole. Leave the torque wrench in the slot of the setscrew(s) while the lead is inserted.

Rotate the wrench counterclockwise until the receptacle is clear of obstruction. Then connect the pacing leads as described below.
