Figure 25. Rotating the device to wrap the leads

3. Place the device and the leads into the surgical pocket.
4. Use nonabsorbable sutures to secure the device within the pocket and minimize

post-implant rotation and migration. Use a surgical needle to penetrate the suture holes

on the device (see Figure 26).
Figure 26. Locating the suture holes

5. Suture the pocket incision closed.

5.7 Completing the implant procedure

Warning: Do not program the Other 1:1 SVTs feature to On until the atrial lead has matured

(approximately 1 month after implant). If the atrial lead dislodges and migrates to the

ventricle, the Other 1:1 SVTs feature could inappropriately withhold detection and therapy.
