50 <strong>Estella</strong> <strong>Pulse</strong> <strong>Generators</strong> Technical Manual7.2.4 Repetitive HysteresisRepetitive hysteresis is expanded programmability of the Hysteresisfeature. Repetitive hysteresis searches for an underlying intrinsiccardiac rhythm, which may exist slightly below the programmed lowerrate (or sensor-indicated rate) of the patient. Following 180 consecutivesensed events, this feature allows the intrinsic rhythm to drop to orbelow the hysteresis rate. During the time when the intrinsic rate isat or below the hysteresis rate, pacing occurs at the hysteresis ratefor the programmed number of beats (up to 15). Should the numberof programmed beats be exceeded, the stimulation rate returns to thelower rate (or sensor-indicated rate).If an intrinsic cardiac rhythm is detected within the programmed numberof beats between the hysteresis rate and the lower rate, the intrinsicrhythm is allowed and inhibits the pulse generator.Figure 8: Repetitive HysteresisRepetitive hysteresis has been incorporated to promote spontaneouscardiac rhythm and may reduce pulse generator energy consumption.NOTE:Repetitive Hysteresis can be used during night mode but it will nottake the rate below the programmed night rateRepetitive Hysteresis is only available when Hysteresis is selectedon.There is one Standard Hysteresis interval which occurs before theprogrammable number of Repetitive Hysteresis occur.
