1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

REPLY SR is a single-chamber rate-responsive pacemaker.
It is equipped with a physiological sensor (minute ventilation) and an
accelerometer to allow adaptation of pacing to suit the patient's
activity.
REPLY SR provides a range of highly effective therapeutic functions:
Preservation of circadian cardiac rhythm (Rest rate)
Automatic adjustment of amplitude of ventricular pacing (Auto-
threshold)
Automatic adjustment of sensitivity (Autosensing)

2. INDICATIONS

Pacing indications are provided by the American College of
Cardiology and the American Heart Association (see "ACC/AHA/HRS
2008 Guidelines for Device-Based Therapy of Cardiac Rhythm
Abnormalities", J Am Coll Cardiol 2008 May 27;51(21):e1-62).

3. CONTRAINDICATIONS

3.1. GENERALITIES

There are no known contraindications to the use of cardiac
pacemakers as a therapeutic method for controlling heart rate.
Nevertheless, the patient's medical and physical condition, as well as
age, should be taken into consideration when choosing the
pacemaker and leads.
The benefits of pacing to pediatric subjects have not been evaluated.
Adverse interactions may occur between the patient's spontaneous
rate and pacemaker functions.
