Capture Management
Automatic Capture Management™ helps ensure lead capture in the heart chambers to deliver pacing therapy.
Pacemakers and Defibrillators
Atrial Capture Management and Ventricular Capture Management (ACM and VCM)1,2:
- Provide long-term threshold management automatically
- Ensure pacing outputs remain at safe levels
- Adapt programmed outputs to maximize battery longevity

Complete Capture Management Helps Optimize Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Automatically ensures pacing capture in all heart chambers:
- Atrial capture management (ACM)
- Right ventricular capture management (RVCM)
- Left ventricular capture management (LVCM)
Provides a daily complete device check – automatically:
- Lead impedance
- Battery status
- All-chamber threshold evaluation
- Sensing amplitudes
Eliminates need for manual threshold checks, freeing time for clinic personnel.
Provides the first truly remote follow-up with Medtronic CareLink® Network.
Ensure Delivery of CRT with Left Ventricular Capture Management
- Clinically proven to be safe, accurate, and highly reliable1
- Adapts to changing patient needs
- Automatically determines energy amount for pacing capture and adjusts output
- Minimizes diaphragmatic stimulation
- Potentially saves time in testing and measuring LV pacing thresholds during follow-up visits
- Additional tool to monitor lead performance
