Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Study Specific • ICD and CRT-D Patients scheduled for a device replacement • CRM Patients who have or who would need an lead adaptor • All patients who have an active or non-active defibrillation lead other than 4-SITE General • Not willing and not capable of providing informed consent, undergoing a device implant, participating in all testing associated with this clinical investigation (including VT/VF shock conversion) at an approved clinical investigational centre and at the intervals defined by this protocol • Patients who were in NYHA Class IV during the last 3 month • Patients with pre-existing diseases, which may confound study results • Patients currently requiring dialysis, • Cancer patients • Patients with drug and/or alcohol abuse history • Life expectancy
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is to evaluate appropriate performance of the RELIANCE 4-SITE defibrillation lead and of the new 4-SITE Header / Lead interface by demonstrating - appropriate detection and shock conversion of induced Ventricular tachyarrhythmia*s (VT/VF) -appropriate pacing thresholds, shock and pacing lead Impedances at follow-up as a measure of lead integrity over 12 month time, and - Appropriate sensing and absence of artefacts / non-sustained / sustained episodes resulting from transient potentials (artefacts) originating from incomplete lead / header contact. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives are to document Implant Experience by collecting and analyzing information regarding 4-Site system handling, and to answer clinical questions by performing different types of retrospective analysis of study data. | — |
