The Insignia I Ultra pacemaker’s automatic capture feature accurately determines ventricular pacing thresholds and safely delivers backup pulses. This feature ensures patient safety and pacemaker efficiency across various ventricular leads.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Evaluating the clinical performance of the Insignia I Ultra pacemaker system's ventricular automatic capture feature.
  • Assessing pacemaker output programming for efficiency and patient safety.
  • Investigating automatic adjustment of ventricular output above pacing thresholds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical performance of the ventricular automatic capture feature in the Insignia I Ultra pacemaker system.
  • To determine if the automatic capture feature accurately identifies ventricular stimulation thresholds.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of the automatic capture feature with diverse ventricular leads.

Main Methods:

  • 105 patients from 17 European centers were enrolled.

  • Utilized 31 different types of ventricular leads with no restrictions.
  • Followed patients through a 3-month follow-up visit.

    • Main Results:

    • The automatic threshold test showed minimal mean difference compared to manual testing (0.001 V).
    • Ambulatory autothreshold testing also demonstrated high accuracy (0.002 V difference).
    • No loss of capture incidents occurred without a backup pulse; backup pulses were used in <0.1% of paced beats.

    Conclusions:

    • The automatic capture feature accurately determines ventricular stimulation thresholds.
    • The feature safely delivers backup pulses when necessary.
    • The system performs reliably with a variety of ventricular leads.
