Estella Pulse Generators Technical Manual 103During temporary program activation, the rate adaptation, trend monitor,and the event counter are always inactive.9.4 Patient Data MemoryIndividual patient data can be stored in the pulse generator’s memory.The stored data is automatically displayed upon each interrogation. Theamount of data stored is determined by the software version being used.The patient data memory contains the following data categories:• Patient Index (Code)• Patient Name• Date of Birth• Gender• Symptom• Etiology• ECG Indication• Physician• Implantation Date• Lead Polarity (A / V)• Lead Type• Lead Manufacturer• Lead Position• NYHA Class• LVEF• Hospital• CityWarningUnipolar/Bipolar—All Estella models can be used witheither unipolar or bipolar IS‐1 leads.If the pacing or sensing function is to be programmed tobipolar, it must be verified that bipolar leads have beenimplanted in that chamber. If either of the leads is unipolar,unipolar sensing and pacing functions must be programmedin that chamber. Failure to program the appropriate leadconfiguration could result in entrance and/or exit block.Symptom, etiology and ECG indication are specified using the EuropeanPASSPORT code system. The PASSPORT code is an identification systemof two character codes that represent specific conditions. A listing ofthe codes available with definitions is displayed on the screen of theprogrammer when patient data is selected. When the patient datascreen is entered symptom, etiology, or ECG indication may be entered,and can be accessed following interrogation to check code definition.When the patient data screen is printed, the date of last follow-up isautomatically given on the print-out.
