2016 Post-Recert Exam

My name is:

What action must you take to be able to erase FAM shell that has no underlying volume (eg to make a ridge more accurate)? (1 point)

_______+ eraser shaves 2mm below the reconstruction (if there is no volume within 2mm below the reconstruction, there will be no change); _______+ eraser shaves 2mm deep in actual (orange) volume, regardless of the reconstruction (1 point)

What is the significance of displaying the unipolar M1 signal when mapping a focal tachycardia? (1 point)

If you manually untick a point during MEM, it will go into the recycle bin when you acquire your next point. (1 point)

The TactiCath Quartz catheter is available on both uni-directional and bi-directional platforms. (1 point)

In the pre-clinical studies, STSF showed significantly higher results when compared to 6-hole THERMOCOOL relating to: (1 point)

The temperature profile of the STSF catheter is the same as the ST platform. (1 point)

The Rhythmia system is equipped with a tissue proximity filter. (1 point)

What is the benefit of this to the physician? (2 points)

What is the maximum number of presets available on the SMARTABLATE Generator? (1 point)

What p value is typically used in clinical trials to determine if the difference between treatments are statistically significant? (1 point)

Your physician likes a particular view of the LA you have on your main map window and wants to be able to return to this exact view in the future. Describe how you would save this exact view for them to return to. (2 points)

Your physician has done a roof line and wishes to validate the lesion set. They have told you they will place the lasso in the LAA to pace and will walk the abl cath down the posterior wall for you to take timing. Choose your ref & WOI and describe activation down the posterior wall if the line is blocked. (3 points)

Your physician now wishes to pace CS 9,10 at 700 ms to do a voltage map of the LA using CONFIDENSE. What will your ref & WOI be? (2 points)

Viewer can select to view VISITAG Module Locations on current working map only OR view VISITAGTM Module Locations on all/other maps including non-visualised maps (1 point)

Name the catheters that are able to use TPI (2 points)

Which port/s on the PIU can be used for TPI (1 point)

Which patches contribute to the BCS? (1 point)

What are the two steps required to visualise the magnet & patches on the map viewers during a study? (2 points)

Describe the process to set a new Global WOI for a map you are currently mapping with (and intend to continue mapping with) (3 points)

List three things that determine a successful Accuresp catheter site (3 points)

Describe the process for apply timing to a No LAT point (2 points)

You can load and view maps from a previous study while the system is in live acquisition mode. (1 point)

Which has a higher current density?

In the CONFIDENSE Module, list three situations when Continuous Mapping is not available? (3 points)

Describe the process for setting two simultaneous maps – one for a bipolar voltage map of the ventricles in SR and the other for a LAT map of LAVAs seen in SR (include ref & WOI for each) (bonus 5 pts)
