| Issue: | These devices include the option of enabling a Right Ventricular Automatic Threshold (RVAT) test to determine the RV pacing threshold and adjust amplitude in an ambulatory setting. If the RVAT test feature is enabled and noise signals are continuously sensed within a brief RV noise window following an Atrial pace, a patient may not receive effective pacing support until the RVAT test ends (i.e., up to 20 cardiac cycles). Although no patients have been harmed in the cases reported to date, brief periods of dizziness were reported in one case. |
