Lead Connection - sorin REPLY DR Manuel D'implantation

Pacing thresholds: Acute thresholds should be lower than 1 V for a
0.5 ms pulse width, both in the ventricle and in the atrium. Chronic
thresholds should be less than 3 V for a 0.5 ms pulse width.
Sensing thresholds: For proper ventricular sensing, the amplitude
of the R-wave should be greater than 5 mV. For proper atrial
sensing, the amplitude of the P-wave should be greater than 2 mV.

5.5. LEAD CONNECTION

It is imperative that each lead be properly connected to the
corresponding pacemaker connector (the position of each connector
is indicated on the case).
Caution: Only both distal inserts must be tightened.
To connect each lead, proceed as follows:
1. Insert the ventricular lead pin all the way into the appropriate
pacemaker port (marked V) of the pacemaker.
2. Insert the screwdriver in the centre of the prominent screwdriver
slot contour on the distal insert, then into the pre-inserted screw.
The ventricular screwdriver slot is positioned above the axis of
the ventricular lead and the atrial screwdriver slot is positioned
below the axis of the atrial lead.
3. Tighten the screw until the screwdriver clicks. Check the
tightness by pulling the lead (the lead should remain in the
pacemaker when pulling to check the tightness).
4. Insert the atrial lead pin all the way into the appropriate port
(marked A) of the pacemaker.
5. Proceed as in steps 2 and 3.
