It was reported that this pacemaker's right atrial autothreshold (raat) test was thrown off by premature ventricular contractions (pvcs).Technical services (ts) reviewed and stated that it was odd that the raat would behave this way with pvcs.The health care professional (hcp) decided to disable the raat and right ventricular autothreshold (rvat) test features.It was noted that the rv channel exhibited loss of capture (loc) at high capture thresholds during the test.Additionally, there was undersensing in atrial tachy response (atr) episodes on the right atrial (ra) channel.The hcp reprogrammed the sensitivity of the ra channel.The device remains in use.No adverse patient effects were reported.
