Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Efficacy Outcome - Number of Participants That Had Successful Termination of Ventricular Fibrillation Episodes at Implantation

    Each subject will demonstrate a successful defibrillation outcome if either 2 successive induced ventricular fibrillation episodes are terminated by the subject's device delivering a shock at the required energy level, or if one such episode is successfully terminated by the subject's device delivering a shock at a lower energy level. Up to 5 such episodes may be induced to test device efficacy.

    At Implantation

  • Safety Outcome - Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Major System and Procedure Related Complications at 3 Months (90 Days)

    Subjects will be monitored to determine whether they experience a major procedure- or system-related complication within 3 months (90 days) post-implant.

    3 months (90 days)

Study Arms (1)

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be implanted with an extravascular ICD and undergo requisite electrical testing.

Device: Defibrillation using the Extravascular ICD

Interventions

VT/VF induction attempted for defibrillation testing, as well as requisite electrical testing.

Experimental
