Which feature allows BIOTRONIK to alert clinicians when lead impedances exceed a range?

Which feature allows BIOTRONIK to alert clinicians when lead impedances exceed a range?

• A. They alert physicians through HM when lead impedances go beyond a specified range
• B. They alert only during device checks
• C. They do not alert
• D. They require external network to alert

Answer: (A)

Lead impedance is a measure of the electrical condition of the pacing/sensing lead, and values outside the programmed range can indicate a problem with the lead. BIOTRONIK uses Home Monitoring to continuously track impedance and automatically send alerts to clinicians when the impedance exceeds the set thresholds. This enables timely review and timely intervention, not just during periodic device checks. The alerting is a built-in remote monitoring capability, so clinicians can be notified promptly without waiting for an in-clinic visit.
