Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual 75

Repetitive Hysteresis is only available when Hysteresis is selected on.

Magnet application (closing of reed switch) suspends 180 consecutive event counter independent of synchronous or asynchronous magnet effect.

There is one Standard Hysteresis interval which occurs before the programmable number of Repetitive Hysteresis occurs.

The repetitive rate hysteresis is deactivated in the standard setting, but can be programmed to 1… (1) …15 cycles.

2.3.5 Night Mode

Programmable Night Time Begin and End in 10 minute steps. The Night Mode feature allows a temporary reduction of the base rate during normal sleeping hours. If selected, the base rate is gradually and temporarily reduced to the programmed night pacing rate. At the end of night mode, the base rate gradually returns to the original values.

The Night Mode feature has been incorporated to allow the patients spontaneous night rhythm and may reduce pulse generator energy consumption.

NOTES:

Over time, the Stratos CRT-Ps internal time-of-day clock may exhibit a discrepancy with the actual time (less than 1 hour per year). This may cause a corresponding discrepancy between the programmed sleep and wake times and the actual times that the system changes the rate.

The programmer automatically updates the CRT-P time- of-day clock each time the device is programmed.

The actual time when the respective increase or decrease in rate occurs may begin up to 4 minutes after the programmed time because of internal device timing.

The rate (ppm/s) at which Night Mode decreases and increases is a function of the Sensor Gain decrease and increase parameters.
