for the recognition and treatment of ventricular tachycardia and
fibrillation, with ventricular resynchronization, in patients with
spontaneous or inducible tachyarrhythmias. PARADYM RF CRT-D
9750 is equipped with an accelerometer to allow adaptation of pacing
to suit the patient’s activity.
PARADYM RF CRT-D 9750 provides high energy shocks (42 J) for
enhanced safety, as well as automatic lead measurements to monitor
system integrity.
PARADYM RF CRT-D 9750 is protected against high-frequency signals
emitted by cellular telephones.
2. INDICATIONS
PARADYM RF CRT-D 9750 is indicated for ventricular antitachycardia
pacing and ventricular defibrillation for automated treatment of life
threatening arrhythmias.
The device is also indicated for the reduction of heart failure symptoms
in medically optimized NYHA Functional Class III and IV patients with
left ventricular ejection fraction of 35% or less, and a QRS duration of
150 ms or longer.
