Protection without touching the heart

The S-ICD System is the world’s first and only subcutaneous implantable defibrillator that provides protection from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) while leaving the heart and vasculature untouched. Like transvenous ICDs, the S-ICD System utilizes a pulse generator capable of delivering life-saving therapy. Unlike transvenous ICDs, the S-ICD System uses a subcutaneous electrode and analyzes the heart rhythm – rather than individual beats – to effectively sense, discriminate, and convert VT/VF. For years patients’ lives have been extended by implanting transvenous implantable defibrillators. Now the S-ICD System provides a new solution to protect patients from SCA, without touching the heart.

Protection without touching the heart

Effective defibrillation without transvenous leads

  • Effective detection and conversion of induced and spontaneous VT/VF episodes1,2
  • Low rates of significant clinical complications1
  • Effective discrimination of AF and SVT from VT/VF1,2,3
  • Rate of inappropriate therapy is consistent with transvenous ICDs1,2,3

Sophisticated technology

  • Identifies and classifies the heart rhythm, rather than individual beats
  • Revolutionary approach to sensing the subcutaneous signal
  • INSIGHT™ algorithm effectively discriminates between treatable and other high-rate supra-ventricular events
  • Designed to allow self-termination of non-sustained tachyarrhythmia

Durable subcutaneous electrode design

  • Subcutaneous placement avoids intra-cardiac biomechanical stresses
  • Multistrand cable-core design provides exceptional tensile strength
  • Durable polyurethane body is highly resistant to abrasion

New Solution for a broad range of patients at risk for SC

  • Effective for a majority of primary and secondary ICD candidates*
  • Alternative for TV-ICD replacements due to lead malfunction/infection
  • Ideal for primary electrical or structural heart disease
  • Appropriate for a broad range of body types
