AV Delay
The AV delay can be continuously adjusted from 15 ms to
400 ms with the AV delay control dial (15). Short AV delays
may be selected for special indications, e.g., in case of recur-
ring tachycardia.
Reocor D limits the AV delay upwards to half the basic rate
interval.
Pulse Amplitude – Atrium/Ventricle
The pulse amplitudes for the atrium and ventricle can be
adjusted with the Ampl. control dials (10), (6) within a range
from 0.1 V to 17 V. If a value less than 1 V is set, the device will
sound a warning signal for two seconds.
The pulse width is 1 ms.
Pacing should be checked regularly to ensure that pacing
takes place and that a sufficient safety margin has been set.
Sensitivity – Atrium
The sensitivity can be adjusted with the Atrium Sens. control
dial (11) between 0.2 mV and 10 mV. It should be checked
regularly to ensure that correct sensing takes place and that
a sufficient safety margin has been set.
Sensitivity – Ventricle
The sensitivity can be adjusted with the Ventricle Sens.
control dial (7) between 1 mV and 20 mV. The sensitivity
should be checked regularly to ensure that correct sensing
takes place and that a sufficient safety margin has been set.
Cross Channel Blanking
After a stimulus has been delivered, sensing is suppressed
for 19 ms ± 3 ms in the opposite channel to prevent far-field
sensing.
Interference interval
The interference interval is started by both atrial and ventric-
ular paced and sensed events.
The interval is reset by noise sensed in any channel during
the interval length of 80 ms, leading to asynchronous pacing
at the programmed rate while the interference lasts.
