Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual  9 
AV Hysteresis – If the AV hysteresis is enabled along with the 
algorithm for recognizing and terminating PMTs (PMT 
management), the AV delay for recognizing and terminating a 
PMT has a higher priority than the AV hysteresis. 
Sensing – The Stratos CRT-Ps do not sense in the left ventricle. 
AV Conduction – In patients with intact AV conduction, the 
intrinsic atrial tachycardia is conducted to the ventricle 1:1.  With 
the resynchronization mode activated, spontaneous rate of the 
right ventricle mode is synchronized for a rate up to 200 ppm in 
the left ventricle.  For this reason, biventricular pacing mode 
should be turned OFF in such cases. 
Unipolar/Bipolar – If the pacing or sensing function is to be 
programmed to bipolar in the atrial channel, it must be verified 
that bipolar leads have been implanted in that chamber.  If the 
atrial lead is unipolar,  unipolar sensing and pacing functions 
must be programmed in that chamber.  Failure to program the 
appropriate lead configuration could result in patient 
experiencing entrance and/or exit block. 
In addition, if the atrial lead polarity setting within the Patient 
Data Memory has been set to bipolar, the polarity of the 
corresponding implanted lead must be confirmed to be bipolar
Safe Program – Activating the “Safe Program” is a way of 
quickly programming the device to multiple settings in the event 
of an emergency.  These settings include unipolar pacing with 
pacing output OFF in the left ventricular channel.  Refer to 
Section 6.3 for further details. 
Programmers – Use only BIOTRONIK’s ICS 3000 programmer 
equipped with appropriate software to program Stratos CRT-Ps.  
Do not use programmers from other manufacturers. 
Pulse Amplitude – Programming of pulse amplitudes, higher 
than 4.8 V, in combination with long pulse widths and/or high 
pacing rates can lead to premature activation of the replacement 
indicator.  If a pulse amplitude of 7.2 V or higher is programmed 
and high pacing rates are reached, output amplitudes may differ 
from programmed values.
