1.6.2 Tupos LV/ATx Study
NOTE:
The clinical study information included in this section was
performed with the Tupos LV/ATx CRT-D, which is an earlier
version of the Lumax CRT-D/ICD families. The clinical study
data presented here is applicable because the Lumax family
are downsized versions of the Tupos LV/ATx CRT-D and
Tachos ICD families. The Lumax family is slightly different as
compared to the Tupos LV/ATx (and Tachos family) in the
following areas:
Reduced size from 50/48 cc to 40/35 cc
Addition of Home Monitoring functionality
Addition of triggered pacing for biventricular pacing
modes
True three chamber pacing and sensing capabilities
(CRT-Ds)
1.6.2.1 Study Overview
The purpose of the prospective, randomized, multi-center
OPTION CRT/ATx study was to demonstrate the safety and
effectiveness of the investigational Tupos LV/ATx Cardiac
Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) in patients with
congestive heart failure (CHF) and atrial tachyarrhythmias.
Patients in the study group were implanted with a BIOTRONIK
Tupos LV/ATx. Patients in the control group were implanted with
any legally marketed CRT-D. Patients in both the study and
control groups were implanted with a legally marketed left
