Wavelet Flashcards
Is Wavelet applied at detection, redetect or both?
only at initial VT/VF detection or NID
How does the Wavelet algorithm collect a template?
- collects and compares 6 R-wave samples to the programmed threshold value
- device confirms template by comparing R waves q10 secs to the template
- need 70 out of 100 R-wave matches to confirm the template
- if unable to confirm, will restart the collection process
How often does the auto-collection feature of wavelet monitor/check R-waves to assess the quality of the stored template?
- assesses 100 R-waves q1000 secs
- if can’t get 70/100 R-wave matches, will recollect template
How many beats does the Wavelet feature evaluate to determine a match percentage?
- looks back 8 beats once NID is met
When will Wavelet withhold therapy?
- if at least 3 of the last 8 R-waves are a 70% or greater match with the store template
What will be seen in the channel marker if Wavelet is withholding therapy?
WV
What does a WV in the channel marker mean?
the Wavelet has withheld therapy
What does HT in the channel marker mean?
indicates the High Rate Timeout timer expired, wavelet and PR-Logic stopped withholding therapy and detection
Which EGM2 source does Wavelet use if RV Lead Noise is programmed ON?
CAN to RVcoil or RVcoil to SVC
What would you do if the Wavelet signal amplitude is too small at collection?
- try a changing EGM2 to a different source that does not include the CAN
- try changing the EGM2 range
What is the nominal setting for the PR-Logic/Wavelet High Rate Timeout?
45 seconds
Where is Wavelet programmed on the device?
under V. Detection
What is the fastest rate Wavelet will applied and what is the nominally setting?
SVT Limit at 260ms
How does the device determine if Wavelet can be applied once the VT/VF NID is met?
- the device looks back at the last 12 V-V intervals and determines a median ventricular cycle length
- Wavelet is applied if the cycle length is greater than the SVT limit
When collecting a Wavelet template, what is a possible solution if the Peak-Peak R-wave amplitudes are < 3mV on EGM2 and noise is seen?
change the EGM2 source
