5.4.5  NIPS Safety Features 
The BIOTRONIK offers the following safety features during NIPS 
sessions. 
•  Before the NIPS feature can be used, NIPS must be 
specifically selected and then is released through user 
acknowledgment.  In addition, before NIPS is performed 
in the Ventricle, the user must acknowledge that 
delivering NIPS into the Ventricle may induce dangerous 
arrhythmias. 
•  When the battery voltage has reached the Elective 
Replacement Indicator point (ERI), the NIPS feature is 
no longer available. 
•  Ventricular pacing support is available to CRT-P 
dependent patients during burst or programmed burst 
stimulation through the back up pacing program as long 
as the wand is within 15 cm of the CRT-P.  Removing 
the programmer wand or placement to distance greater 
than 15 cm from the implanted device returns the CRT-P 
to its permanent program. 
•  NIPS may only be programmed temporarily.

High pacing rates and pulse amplitudes together with wide 
pulse widths may temporarily decrease the amplitude of the 
pacing pulse.  The pacing pulse must be continuously 
verified with an ECG to assure effectiveness. 
To perform NIPS function, the programmer wand must be 
placed directly over the CRT-P to enable continuous 
telemetry.
