This Context Group includes the full set of codes for types of pacemakers specified in the NASPE/BPEG Generic Pacemaker Code (NBG). The Coding Scheme Designator (0008,0102) shall be NBG.
A prior version of this context group used codes from the SCP-ECG vocabulary.

|
Code Position |
1 - Chamber(s) paced |
2 - Chamber(s) sensed |
3 - Response to sensing |
4 - Rate modulation |
5- Multisite pacing |
