In Delivering CRT Therapy, Challenges Exist from Implant to Patient Care • Patient selection

In Delivering CRT Therapy, Challenges Exist from Implant to Patient Care • Patient selection is complicated • Varied venous anatomies make implantation unpredictable • Loss of CRT or Phrenic Nerve Stimulation (PNS) can occur due to changes in LV Capture Threshold • Other HF management issues (non-compliance, impact of comorbidities, patients lost to follow-up) impact therapy 1, 2 One-third of patients do not experience the full benefit of CRT. 3 -7 1 Abraham WT, et al.

Brief Statement Attain® Performa™ 4298 Lead Indications: The Attain Performa 4298 steroid eluting, quadripolar

Brief Statement Attain® Performa™ 4298 Lead Indications: The Attain Performa 4298 steroid eluting, quadripolar electrode, IS 4 transvenous leads are indicated for chronic pacing and sensing in the left ventricle via the cardiac vein, when used with a compatible Medtronic Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) system. Extended bipolar pacing is available using these leads in combination with a compatible CRT-D system and RV defibrillation lead. Contraindications Coronary vasculature – These leads are contraindicated for patients with coronary venous vasculature that is inadequate for lead placement, as indicated by venogram. Steroid use – Do not use in patients for whom a single dose of 288 μg of dexamethasone acetate maybe contraindicated. Warnings and Precautions Chronic repositioning or removal of leads may be difficult because of fibrotic tissue development. accompanying leads should not receive diathermy treatment. The interaction between the implant and diathermy can cause tissue damage, fibrillation, or damage to the device components, which could result in serious injury, loss of therapy, and/or the need to reprogram or replace the device. Leads should be handled with great care at all times. Use an anchoring sleeve with all leads. Ensure the anchoring sleeve is positioned close to the lead connector pin, to prevent inadvertent passage of the sleeve into the vein. Use care when handling stylets. Any severe bending kinking, stretching, handling with surgical instruments, or excessive force when inserting a stylet may cause permanent damage to the lead. Rust stylets are not recommended with this lead due to the risk of conductor coil or insulation perforation. Use care when handling guide wires. Damage to the guide wire may prevent the guide wire from performing with accurate torque response and may cause vessel damage. Do not use excessive force to retract the guide wire from the lead. Refer to the product documentation packaged with the Output pulses, especially from unipolar devices, may guide wire for additional information. adversely affect device sensing capabilities. If a patient Do not use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on patients requires a separate stimulation device, either permanent or who have this device implanted. MRI can induce currents on temporary, allow enough space between the leads of the implanted leads, potentially causing tissue damage and the separate systems to avoid interference in the sensing induction of tachyarrhythmias. capabilities of the devices. Previously implanted pulse generators and implantable cardioverter defibrillators should For Model 4298 lead, total patient exposure to dexamethasone acetate should be considered. Drug generally be explanted. interactions of dexamethasone acetate with this lead have not been studied. It has not been determined whether the warnings, precautions, or complications usually associated People with metal implants such as pacemakers, with injectable dexamethasone acetate apply to the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and this highly localized, controlled-release device. For a list of potential adverse effects, refer to the Physicians’ Desk Reference. Do not force the guide catheter or leads if significant resistance is encountered. Use of guide catheters and/or leads may cause trauma to the heart. Keep external defibrillation equipment nearby for immediate use during acute lead system testing, the implant procedure, or whenever arrhythmias are possible or intentionally induced during the postimplant testing. Backup pacing should be readily available during implant. Use of the delivery system or leads may cause heart block. To minimize the likelihood of trauma to the vein and to maintain lead flexibility while advancing the lead through the vein, keep the stylet withdrawn 1 to 2 cm or select a more flexible stylet. Do not insert the proximal end of the guide wire through the lead tip seal without using the guide wire insertion tool. Inserting the guide wire without the guide wire insertion tool may damage the lead. During lead implant and testing, use only battery- powered equipment or line-powered equipment specifically designed for this purpose to protect against fibrillation that may be caused by alternating currents.

Brief Statement (cont. ) Viva™ Quad S CRT-D Model DTBB 1 QQ and Viva

Brief Statement (cont. ) Viva™ Quad S CRT-D Model DTBB 1 QQ and Viva Quad S CRT-D Model DTBB 1 Q 1 Indications: The Viva Quad S CRT-D system is indicated for ventricular antitachycardia pacing and ventricular defibrillation for automated treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, for use in patients with atrial tachyarrhythmias, or those patients who are at significant risk for developing atrial tachyarrhythmias and for providing cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients on stable, optimal heart failure medical therapy if indicated, and meet any of the following classifications: New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class III or IV and who have a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 35% and a prolonged QRS duration. Left bundle branch block (LBBB) with a QRS duration ≥ 130 ms, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 30%, and NYHA Functional Class II. NYHA Functional Class I, II, or III and who have left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 50% and atrioventricular block (AV block) that are expected to require a high percentage of ventricular pacing that cannot be managed with algorithms to minimize right ventricular pacing. Optimization of heart failure medical therapy that is limited due to AV block or the urgent need for pacing should be done post-implant. Lead Integrity Alert The RV Lead Integrity Alert feature is intended primarily for patients who have a Medtronic ICD or CRT-D device and a Sprint Fidelis lead (Models 6949, 6948, 6931, and 6930) based on performance data. The RV LIA feature may not perform as well with a St. Jude Medical Riata™/Durata ® lead or a Boston Scientific Endotak lead as it does when used with a Medtronic Sprint Fidelis lead. This is because different lead designs may have different failure signatures and conditions that may or may not be detected early by the RV LIA feature. Contraindications: The Viva S CRT-D system is contraindicated for patients experiencing tachyarrhythmias with transient or reversible causes including, but not limited to, the following: acute myocardial infarction, drug intoxication, drowning, electric shock, electrolyte imbalance, hypoxia, or sepsis. The device is contraindicated for patients who have a unipolar pacemaker implanted. The device is contraindicated for patients with incessant VT or VF. The device is contraindicated for patients whose primary disorder is chronic atrial tachyarrhythmia with no concomitant VT or VF. Warnings and Precautions: Changes in a patient’s disease and/or medications may alter the efficacy of the device’s programmed parameters. Patients should avoid sources of magnetic and electromagnetic radiation to avoid possible underdetection, inappropriate sensing and/or therapy delivery, tissue damage, induction of an arrhythmia, device electrical reset, or device damage. Do not place transthoracic defibrillation paddles directly over the device. Certain programming and device operations may not provide cardiac resynchronization. Potential Complications: Potential complications include, but are not limited to, rejection phenomena, erosion through the skin, muscle or nerve stimulation, oversensing, failure to detect and/or terminate tachyarrhythmia episodes, acceleration of ventricular tachycardia, and surgical complications such as hematoma, infection, inflammation, and thrombosis. See the device manual for detailed information regarding the implant procedure, indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential complications/adverse events.
