Table 23. Backup and Target Rates 
Feature 
Description 
Backup Rate  Rate that the CRT-P uses to pace when 
there is a sudden rate decrease.  This can 
be a maximum of 10 ppm less than the 
intrinsic rate and follows the Target Rate with 
a 1 to 6 ppm per cycle increase or 
0.25…1.25 ppm per cycle If the Target Rate 
is less than the current Back Up Rate. 
Target Rate 
The Target Rate is either the current 
detection rate minus 10 ppm, or the sensor 
or basic rate.  The Backup Rate follows the 
Target Rate with the programmed rate 
increase or decrease.

2.17  Home Monitoring (Stratos LV-T) 
Home Monitoring enables the exchange of information about a 
patient’s cardiac status from the implant to the physician.  Home 
Monitoring can be used to provide the physician with advance 
reports from the implant and can process them into graphical 
and tabular format called a Cardio Report.  This information 
helps the physician optimize the therapy process, as it allows the 
patient to be scheduled for additional clinical appointments 
between regular follow-up visits if necessary.
