Brief summary

The MODULAR ATP Clinical Study is designed to demonstrate safety, performance, and effectiveness of the Modular Cardiac Rhythm Management (mCRM) Therapy System.

Detailed description

The MODULAR ATP Clinical Study will enroll subjects with a standard Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) indication applying international practice guidelines, as well as those who already have an implanted S-ICD System and satisfy the inclusion criteria for this study, while not meeting any exclusion criteria. Subjects will be followed for at least 6 months following mCRM Therapy System implantation.

Interventions

DEVICEmCRM Therapy System

Inclusion criteria

* Patient who meets Class I, IIa, or IIb guideline ICD indications\[i\],\[ii\], or who has an existing TV-ICD\[iii\] or S-ICD\[iv\] * Patient who is deemed to be at risk for MVT based on at least ONE of the following: * History of Non-Sustained MVT with LVEF ≤ 50% * History of sustained VT/VF (secondary prevention) with LVEF ≤ 50% or significant cardiac scar\* * History of syncope deemed to be arrhythmic in origin * History of ischemic cardiomyopathy with LVEF ≤35% * History of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with LVEF ≤35% and significant scar\* * Patient who is willing and capable of providing informed consent (which is not to include the use of a legally authorized representative (LAR) for documentation of informed consent) and participating in all testing associated with this investigation at an approved study site and at the intervals defined by this protocol * Patient who is age 18 years or above, or of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law

Exclusion criteria

* Patient with an ongoing complication due to Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) infection or CIED explant * Transvenous lead remnants within the heart from a previously implanted CIED (Note: transvenous lead remnants outside the heart (e.g., in the SVC) are allowed) * Patient with a known LA thrombus * Patient with a ventricular arrhythmia due to a reversible cause * Patient indicated for implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) * Patient with another implanted medical device that could interfere with implant of the leadless pacemaker, such as an implanted inferior vena cava filter or mechanical tricuspid heart valve * Patient requires rate-responsive pacing therapy * Patient is entirely pacemaker-dependent (defined as escape rhythm ≤ 30 bpm) * Patient with Acute Coronary Syndrome (i.e. Acute Myocardial Infarction, Unstable Angina) within 40 days * Inability to access femoral vein with a 21-French or larger inner diameter introducer sheath due to known anatomy condition, recent surgery, and/ or other relevant condition * Patient who has an active implanted electronic medical device intended for chronic use concomitantly with the study system, such as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
