Lumax Technical Manual 25
5.2.1 Lumax 300/340 Devices
The dual-chamber Lumax variants (Lumax 300 DR,
Lumax 340 DR, Lumax 300 DR-T, and Lumax 340 DR-T) of ICDs
are intended to operate for more than 5 years under normal use.
Table 28 provides longevity estimates for the Lumax 340 DR-T
ICD (order number 355267), which is has the worst case
longevity estimates of the devices listed above.. The table
provides several different support scenarios. It is assumed that
the shocks are equally spaced throughout the life of the ICD.

Table 29 and Table 30 provide longevity estimates for the Lumax
300 & 340 HF-T CRT-D with Wilson Greatbatch batteries. The
tables are limited to 100% ventricular pacing because that is the
goal for each CRT-D device. It is assumed that the shocks are
equally spaced throughout the life of the ICD.
