Product Highlights

• MRI Ready device has been tested for safe performance of an MRI scan using a 1,5 T (Tesla) field-strength MRI scanner when used in combination with MRI Conditional leads1,2
• Improved shape with reduced volume and thickness
• Parylene coating for improved abrasion resistance
• DynamicTx™ Over-Current Detection Algorithm automatically changes shock configurations to ensure delivery of high voltage therapy when high current is detected
• Cold Can programmability provides an additional RV-SVC Shock Configuration to decouple the can from the shocking vector parameters in cases of lead problems
• ShockGuard™ technology with DecisionTx™ programming designed to reduce inappropriate therapy and minimise the need for programming adjustments at implant 
• SecureSense™ RV lead noise discrimination detects sustained and short bursts of lead noise that would otherwise go unnoticed or potentially lead to one or more inappropriate shocks 
• Far Field MD™ morphology discrimination and Chamber Onset discrimination improve SVT and VT discrimination for reduced inappropriate therapies 
• Low Frequency Attenuation filter designed to enhance sensing performance and may reduce the possibility of oversensing T-waves 
• SenseAbility™ feature provides flexibility to fine-tune programming around T-wave oversensing without decreasing sensitivity 
• DF4 connector designed to streamline defibrillation connections into a single terminal pin and reduce the number of set screws 
• CorVue™ congestion monitoring feature monitors the intrathoracic impedance in multiple vectors for improved accuracy, and it provides the option for both patient and physician alerts 
• Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) while charging and prior to charging in the VF zone further extends the programming options for terminating tachyarrhythmias without a high-voltage shock 
• ST monitoring capability provides unprecedented, continuous insight into significant ST shift events and associated ventricular arrhythmias through enhanced monitoring of iEGM and ST-segment as a diagnostic tool to help guide appropriate clinical action 
• 36 J delivered energy safety shock option can provide a greater DFT safety margin 
• DeFT Response™ technology offers the most noninvasive options for managing high DFTs 
• QHR™† chemistry battery provides greater capacity for enhanced longevity and improved charge time performance compared to previous SVO batteries

Indications: The devices are intended to provide ventricular antitachycardia pacing and ventricular defibrillation for automated treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
Contraindications: Contraindications for use of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator include ventricular tachyarrhythmias resulting from transient or correctable factors such as drug toxicity, electrolyte imbalance, or acute myocardial infarction. Adverse Events: Implantation of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator, like that of any other device, involves risks, some possibly life-threatening. These include but are not limited to the following: acute hemorrhage/ bleeding, air emboli, arrhythmia acceleration, cardiac or venous perforation, cardiogenic shock, cyst formation, erosion, exacerbation of heart failure, extrusion, fibrotic tissue growth, fluid accumulation, hematoma formation, histotoxic reactions, infection, keloid formation, myocardial irritability, nerve damage, pneumothorax, thromboemboli, venous occlusion. Other possible adverse effects include mortality due to: component failure, device-programmer communication failure, lead abrasion, lead dislodgment or poor lead placement, lead fracture, inability to defibrillate, inhibited therapy for a ventricular tachycardia, interruption of function due to electrical or magnetic interference, shunting of energy from defibrillation paddles, system failure due to ionising radiation. Other possible adverse effects include mortality due to inappropriate delivery of therapy caused by: multiple counting of cardiac events including T waves, P waves, or supplemental pacemaker stimuli. Among the psychological effects of device implantation are imagined pulsing, dependency, fear of inappropriate pulsing, and fear of losing pulse capability.
