Gallant VR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator: VR ICD REF CDVRA500Q Gallant DR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator: DR ICD REF CDDRA500Q Neutrino VR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator: NxT VR ICD REF CDVRA600Q Neutrino DR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator: NxT DR ICD REF CDDRA600Q Entrant VR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator: VR ICD REF CDVRA300Q Entrant DR Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator: DR ICD REF CDDRA300Q The primary function of ICDs and CRT-Ds are to treat life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias via anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP), or cardioversion/defibrillation. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) can either be a dual chamber (also known as DR if rate responsive) device that is connected to a right atrial (RA) pacing lead and right ventricular defibrillation lead or single chamber ICD (also known as VR if rate responsive) with only a defibrillation lead in the right ventricle (RV). The ICD, more generally known as an implantable pulse generator (IPG), is typically implanted in a subcutaneous device pocket located in the pectoral region and is attached to the pacing/defibrillator leads that are implanted through the transvenous technique with the distal tips positioned in the RA (dual chamber) and RV. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) systems consist of a right atrial (RA) pacing lead, a right ventricular (RV) defibrillation lead, as well as a third lead placed in the coronary venous system overlying t...
