2.6.8 Manual Shock
The Cardiac Airbag ICD can deliver a manual shock on demand
through a programmer command in the EP test menu. To
deliver a shock, place the wand over the device and select the
Start Shock button. A confirmation menu will appear and the
shock command will be delivered upon selecting the OK button
in this screen. After each manual shock, the EP test screen will
display the shock energy, lead impedance and charge time.
2.6.9 Test Shock
The Cardiac Airbag ICD can deliver a low-energy 1 joule (R-
wave synchronous) test shock on demand through a
programmer command in the EP test menu. This shock is
designed to measure the shock impedance and test the integrity
of the shock electrodes of an implanted ICD lead.
