Initial Chronic Human Validation Study: Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (S-ICD) System (Chronic II)

July 1, 2021 updated by: Boston Scientific Corporation
Primary objective is to evaluate the safety and performance of the implanted Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) system. A maximum of 10 subjects were to be enrolled and followed for one month to collect data on the safety, efficacy, and performance of the implanted S-ICD system. Additionally, patient comfort will be assessed as will cosmetic outcome.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • replacement of an existing transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system
  • American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association/Heart Rhythm Society (ACC/AHA/HRS) Class I or II indications for ICD implantation
  • Age >= 18 years
  • Appropriate pre-operative Electrocardiogram (ECG) as measured with a specially developed template

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects unable or unwilling to provide informed consent
  • Any condition which precludes the subject's ability to comply with the study requirements
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating and pre-menopausal women who are unwilling to use adequate birth control for the duration of the study
  • Participation in another investigational device trial at any time during the conduct of the S-ICD system trial without written consent from the sponsor.
  • Patients with a serious medical condition and life expectancy of less than one year.
  • Patients with documented spontaneous and frequently recurring ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT) that is reliably terminated with anti-tachycardia pacing
  • Patients with existing epicardial patches or subcutaneous electrodes in the left thoracic quadrant
  • Patients with chronic renal failure, i.e. with a creatinine level of >2.5 mg/dl unless prescribed drug therapy known to increase creatinine levels in which case the value should be <= 3mg/dl

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With a Successful Induced Ventricular Fibrillation Conversion
Time Frame: 30 days
Sustained ventricular fibrillation induced by the investigator is successfully converted. A successful conversion was defined as two consecutive successful shocks out of four attempts with either standard polarity or with reverse polarity.
