INFORMATION FOR USE
Device Description
This lead family has the following characteristics:
•
Endocardial cardioversion/de
fi
brillation and pace/sense lead—intended for
chronic delivery of cardioverting/de
fi
brillating shocks, and bipolar pacing
and sensing capabilities; implanted within the superior vena cava, right
atrium, and right ventricle.
•
4-FRONT integrated bipolar connector—intended to be connected to
a device with a DF4-LLHH port, which accepts either a DF4-LLHH or
DF4-LLHO lead. It is con
fi
gured with in-line contacts and labeled as
DF4-LLHH or DF4-LLHO, described below:
–
DF4: indicates the lead contains high voltage contacts
1
–
L: indicates a connection to a low-voltage pace/sense electrode;
fi
rst
L (terminal pin)—distal pace/sense electrode; second L (proximal ring
contact)—proximal pace/sense electrode
–
H: indicates a connection to a high-voltage de
fi
brillation electrode;
fi
rst H (middle ring contact)—distal coil electrode; second H (distal
ring contact)—proximal coil electrode (dual-coil models)
–
O: indicates an inactive distal ring contact (single-coil models)
NOTE:
RELIANCE 4-FRONT leads with the DF4-LLHH/LLHO label are
equivalent and are compatible with a device containing either a GDT-LLHH or
DF4-LLHH port.
•
Tip electrode—serves as the cathode for intracardiac right ventricular
pacing/sensing and uses an IROX coated electrode which may improve
pacing performance. Lower and more consistent pacing thresholds may
increase the pacing longevity of the pulse generator.
•
Coil electrodes—the distal coil electrode and the proximal coil
electrode (for dual-coil models) serve as the anode and cathode during
cardioversion/de
fi
brillation shocks. The distal coil also serves as the
anode for pacing and sensing.
•
GORE
TM
expanded polytetra
fl
uoroethylene (ePTFE)-covered coils
2
—the
ePTFE covering prevents tissue ingrowth around and between the coil
fi
lars.
•
IROX-coated tip electrode—the tip electrode is coated with IROX (iridium
oxide) to increase the microscopic surface area.
