ACap™ ConfirmSetup
The ER will be determined during the
ACap™ Confirm Setup using
Paced Depolarization Integral (PDI)
![Page 8: ACap™ Confirm ACap™ Confirm Benefits Automatic algorithm to adjust the atrial pacing amplitude to address changing atrial thresholds Clinic time saved](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d0a5503460f949ddb65/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ACap™ ConfirmDetermine ER sensitivity
Ensures ER is large enough to separate from polarization
ER sensitivity is automatically set to a safe level between ER & polarization measurements
Captured pulses= ER + Polarization
Non-captured pulses= Polarization Only

ACap™ Confirm How the Capture Test is Run (Capture @ 0.825V)
• Ensure atrial pacing: in-clinic test rate 90 bpm default (max 120 bpm)
• 4 paced beats at each amplitude
• Decrease amplitude in 0.25 V steps. 3 Consecutive pulses at the same amplitude confirm LOC (backup pulse delivered)
• Increase amplitude in 0.125 V steps until 2 consecutive pulses capture at the same amplitude (capture threshold)
• Back up pulse, 5.0 V, is delivered after every primary pulse on non captured events

• Starts at programmed atrial pulse amplitude
• If programmed atrial pulse amplitude > 3.875 V
start the threshold search at 3.875 V
• Decrease amplitude in 0.25 V steps until 3
consecutive pulses at the same amplitude confirm
LOC (backup pulse delivered). Below 0.25 V, the
step size is 0.125 V
• Increase amplitude in 0.125 V steps until 2 consecutive pulses capture at the same amplitude

• Search initiation: 16 beat monitoring period
• 100% atrial pacing in monitoring period: AF supression off / no AF related atrial pacing

than the test pulse overdrive interval, i.e.- Rate Response, the shorter interval is used
Overdrive rate limit is 120 bpm

Threshold Search AF Suppression Mode Search (ON and Actively Overdriving)
During AF Suppression overdrive, No monitoring periods are started after:
Test pulses Test pulse inhibition Back-up pulses
If AF Suppression stops overdriving, a new monitoring period is started.
If no atrial events are sensed → Fast Mode. If at least one atrial event is sensed → Slow

ACap™ ConfirmThreshold Search Interactions
Ongoing ACap Confirm threshold search is terminated upon wand placement
Search is reinitiated upon wand removal
If an automatic ACap Confirm threshold search is scheduled to start while wand is in place:
Search delayed until wand is removed If weekly trend log is scheduled to be logged, it will be logged upon wand removal

ACap™ Confirm Threshold Search Interactions
If AMS entry occurs during a threshold search the algorithm is suspended until one hour after AMS exit
Atrial threshold search is suspended/delayed until the following processes are complete
- Automatic P and R-wave measurements
- Lead surveillance
- Actively storing a SEGMs
- Ventricular AutoCapture threshold

ACap™ Confirm Threshold Search Exceptions
•Amplitude is set to 5.0 V (high output) if:
- Capture verification occurred at 0.0 V
- Amplitude increases to 3.875 V and capture fails
•If ACap Confirm goes to High Output Mode, a new threshold search will be performed after one hour
•If capture threshold fails or is inhibited a new threshold search may be re-initiated in one hour, 8 or 24 hour clock is not reset
•If the atrial rate >120 bpm the threshold search will be canceled and attempted in 1 hour

If an Atrial lead configuration switch occurs:-ACap Confirm in Monitor Mode:
ACap Confirm is turned OFF (Atrial pulse amplitude
remains at programmed value)
-If ACap ConfirmON:
ACap Confirm is turned OFF (Atrial pulse amplitude is set
to 5.0 V. Pulse width unchanged

•At ERI, if ACC mode is ON- ACC is programmed OFF
- Pulse amplitude is set to 2 x (average of 4 most recent atrial capture thresholds), minimum 2.0 – maximum 5.0 V
•At ERI, if ACC mode is Monitor- ACC is programmed OFF
- Pulse amplitude remains at programmed value
