Brief summary

The purpose of the Secura clinical study is to evaluate the overall system safety and clinical performance of the Secura DR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)

Detailed description

The Secura ICD is an investigational dual chamber ICD that provides atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmia detection and therapy, cardioversion, defibrillation, dual chamber rate-responsive bradycardia pacing and diagnostics. The study will be a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter clinical study, conducted in approximately 15 centers. To allow for sufficient experience with the device, a maximum of 80 subjects may be implanted with the Secura device. Data will be collected at baseline (enrollment), implant, 1-, 3-, and 6- months post implant and every 6 months thereafter or until study closure (whichever occurs first), Unscheduled Follow-up visits, System Modifications, Technical Observations, Study Deviations, Study Exit, upon notification of new or updated Adverse Events and in case of death.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients who have an ICD indication. * Patients who are geographically stable and available for follow-up at the study center for the duration of the study. * Patients who have signed a Medical Ethics Committee (MEC) approved Informed Consent form.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients with a life expectancy less than the duration of the study. * Patients with medical conditions that preclude the testing required for all patients by the study protocol or that otherwise limit study participation required for all patients. * Patients with mechanical tricuspid heart valves.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Freedom From Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effects at 1-month Post Implant.1 monthCriteria to assess the results of the primary objective safety analysis is to demonstrate that the percentage of subjects experiencing an Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effect (USADE) is lower than 10% at one-month post-implant, with one month considered to be the same as 28 days. A pre-specified interim analysis is included in the study which, if the primary objective was met, is to also be considered the final analysis.

System Performance Assessed by Save to Disk Files1 month follow-upThe Save to Disk files from 79 implanted participants collected after implant and 1 month follow up were reviewed to identify any anomolous or unintended device operation, examine device features, observe ventricular arrhythmia detection times and device classification of ventricular arrhythmias.
System Performance Assessed by Technical Observations1 month follow-upReported technical observations will be reviewed to determine if there are any device performance issues.

Outcome results

Primary

Freedom From Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effects at 1-month Post Implant.

Criteria to assess the results of the primary objective safety analysis is to demonstrate that the percentage of subjects experiencing an Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effect (USADE) is lower than 10% at one-month post-implant, with one month considered to be the same as 28 days. A pre-specified interim analysis is included in the study which, if the primary objective was met, is to also be considered the final analysis.

Time frame: 1 month

Population: Forty-four (44) out of the 80 subjects completed at least one-month (28 days) of follow-up post-implant and were included in the (interim) analysis for the primary objective. One subject of the 80 implanted subjects died prior to the 1-month follow-up.

ArmMeasureValue (NUMBER)
Secura ImplantFreedom From Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effects at 1-month Post Implant.0 percentage of patients
Comparison: H 0 (null hypothesis): P ≥ 10%; H A (alternative hypothesis): P \< 10%, where P is the percentage of subjects experiencing a USADE through the 1-month post implant.~An upper limit of the confidence interval of the percentage subjects with USADE not greater than or equal to 10% at the 1-month follow-up visit provides a reasonably-sized clinical study with sufficient power to detect USADEs.
