How long does a Medtronic defibrillator last?
It could last up to 13 years1. Because your ICD operates using a battery sealed inside the device, the entire device (pulse generator) will need to be replaced when battery power falls to a low level.
What is a Medtronic defibrillator?
An implantable defibrillator is designed to monitor your heart rhythm 24 hours a day. If your heart is beating too fast or irregularly, the device will first send small painless electrical signals to correct your heart rate.
What is Medtronic BIV ICD?
A Biventricular ICD is also known as a CRT-D device. CRT-D is an implantable cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) defibrillator for patients with heart failure. The device monitors the heart’s rhythm, detects irregularities and corrects them with electrical impulses.
What Medtronic pacemakers have been recalled?
Medtronic is recalling the specified ICDs and CRT-Ds due to an unexpected and rapid decrease in battery life. The decrease in battery life is caused by a short circuit and will cause some devices to produce a “Recommended Replacement Time” (first warning that the battery is low) earlier than expected.
What is the life expectancy with a defibrillator?
Background: Manufacturers of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) promise a 5- to 9-year projected longevity; however, real-life data indicate otherwise.
What is the best defibrillator for low DFT patients?
Sprint Quattro™ defibrillator leads are designed for reliability, proven by active monitoring. The Medtronic Subcutaneous Lead Model 6996SQ is implanted subcutaneously and can be used to offer low DFTs and high success in complex cases.
What are the model numbers of your implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD)?
Model numbers: DDBB1D1, DDBB1D4, DDBC3D1, DDBC3D4, DVBB1D1, DVBB1D4, DVBC3D1, DVBC3D4 This is not a complete list of our previously marketed implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). If you cannot find the ICD you are looking for, please search our manual library (opens new window) .
What is the model number of the everevera physiocurve defibrillator?
Evera™ ICD introduced the PhysioCurve™ design. Model numbers: DDBB1D1, DDBB1D4, DDBC3D1, DDBC3D4, DVBB1D1, DVBB1D4, DVBC3D1, DVBC3D4 This is not a complete list of our previously marketed implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD).
