AUTION
Connector Compatibility - ICD/CRT-D and lead system
compatibility should be confirmed prior to the implant
procedure. Consult your BIOTRONIK representative
regarding lead/pulse generator compatibility prior to the
implantation of an ICD/CRT-D system. For further
information, please refer to
Appendix A .
Shock Impedance – If the shock impedance is less than
twenty-five ohms, reposition the lead system to allow a
greater distance between the electrodes. Never implant the
device with a lead system that has a measured shock
impedance of less than twenty-five ohms. Damage to the
device may result.

ARNING
Resuscitation Availability - Do not perform induction testing
unless an alternate source of patient defibrillation such as an
external defibrillator is readily available. In order to implant
the ICD/CRT-D system, it is necessary to induce and convert
the patient’s ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
