1.3 Contraindications 
Use of Stratos LV and Stratos LV-T CRT-Ps are contraindicated 
for the following patients: 
•  Unipolar pacing is contraindicated for patients with an 
implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) because it may 
cause unwanted delivery or inhibition of ICD therapy. 
•  Single chamber atrial pacing is contraindicated for 
patients with impaired AV nodal conduction.

contraindicated for patients with chronic refractory atrial 
tachyarrhythmias.

Note to Physician 
As with any implantable pulse generator, there are certain 
infrequent risks associated with Stratos CRT-Ps.  Section 1.6 
lists the adverse events that have been observed or may 
potentially occur with these Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy 
Pacemakers.  The warnings and precautions listed in 
Section 1.5 should be taken under serious consideration in order 
to aid in avoiding device failures and harm to the patient. 
Regular monitoring of the patient and their implanted device 
should be conducted to identify performance concerns and 
ensure appropriate therapy is being administered to the patient.  
Please communicate any performance concerns to BIOTRONIK 
and to FDA. 
All explanted devices should be returned to the manufacturer for 
testing to help understand device reliability and performance.  
Refer to Section 10 for recommended procedures for handling 
explanted devices.
