4. Implant Procedure
4.1 Implant Preparation
Prior to beginning the ICD/CRT-D implant procedure; ensure that
all necessary equipment is available. The implant procedure
requires the selected lead system (including sterile back-ups), the
programmer with appropriate software, and the necessary cabling
and accessories.
For ICS 3000 and Implant Module based DFT testing, the
following cabling and accessories are available:
PK44 - used to connect the Implant Module to implanted lead
systems for complete testing of the lead systems during the
implant procedure. The following adapters may be necessary:
Adapters PA-2/PA-3 - The PA-2 adapter is used to
connect IS-1 compatible leads to the PK-44 cable. The
PA-3 adapter is used to connect DF-1 compatible leads
to the PK-44 cable.
Adapter PA-4 - used to connect the PK-44 cable to
sensing and pacing leads while the stylet is still inserted.
The ICD/CRT-D System also has the following accessory
available (at the discretion of the physician) for the implant
procedure:
Test housing that allows acute testing of the lead system
prior to opening the sterile package.
Perform an interrogation of the ICD/CRT-D. Ensure programmer
operation, nominal device parameters and battery status is
appropriate for a new Lumax ICD/CRT-D. Note that the battery
status may appear lower than its true value when the ICD/CRT-D
is not at body temperature. Program detection and therapy to
“Disabled” prior to handling the Lumax ICD/CRT-D.
Sufficient training on the device and its associated components is
required prior to implanting the ICD/CRT-D. For additional
information, training and training materials contact your
BIOTRONIK representative.
