Product Details

The EMBLEM MRI S-ICD system provides effective defibrillation without transvenous leads, offering a less invasive solution for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

  • Preserves the vasculature
  • Eliminates potential for vascular injury, transvenous lead insertion complications, lead-associated tricuspid regurgitation,  mechanically induced pro-arrhythmia, and transvenous lead failure and associated extraction risk
  • Remains outside the sternum, never touching the heart

Clinical Information

The 2017 Guidelines by the American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC), and Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) include recommended use of the S-ICD for ICD indicated patients with2:

  

 

High Infection Risk

~75% of ICD Indicated Patients with ≥1 Comorbidities Associated with Device Infection.3, 4, 5

High infection risk chart
 

Inadequate Venous Access

 

Up to 61% of patients may have venous stenosis following initial device implantation.6

No Pacing Indication

% of VR and DR ICD Patients Under 75 with No Pacing Indication at Implant.

Dr. Reinoud Knops Discusses the PRAETORIAN Trial at HRS in 2020
PRAETORIAN is the first prospective randomized head-to-head clinical trial confirming that the S-ICD can be the preferred therapy choice over the TV-ICD for protection from sudden cardiac arrest.9
