CAUTION: Do not tap sharply on the ICD can after implant, because the ICD's sensing circuits can detect this as R-waves, and such oversensing could result in inappropriate pacing, inhibition, or therapy. Normal activities after implant do not result in such oversensing. SORIN – PLATINIUM VR – U461A...
Lithotripsy may permanently damage the device if it is at the focal point of the lithotripsy beam. If lithotripsy must be used, keep the defibrillator at least 2.5 to 5 cm (1-2 inches) away from the focal point of the lithotripsy beam. SORIN – PLATINIUM VR – U461A...
A "Use Before" date is printed on the outer storage package and on the sterile package. Do not implant the device after this date because the battery may have reduced longevity and sterility may be affected. It should be returned to Sorin. If Package is damaged: Do not use the device or accessories if the packaging is wet, punctured, opened or damaged because the integrity of the sterile packaging may be compromised.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE ICD operating characteristics should be verified at the time of implantation and recorded in the patient file. Complete the Patient Registration Form and return it to Sorin, as it provides necessary information for warranty purposes and patient tracking.
Information for the patient is available in the patient booklet, contained in the outer storage package. Additional copies can be obtained by contacting your Sorin representative. This information should be given to each patient with their first ICD and offered to the patient on each return visit or as deemed appropriate.
The PLATINIUM defibrillators are supplied one per package in a sterile package. 12.2. WARRANTY AND REPLACEMENT POLICY Sorin warrants its defibrillators. Refer to the section "Warranty" for additional information. Please see the following labelling sections for information concerning the performance of this device: Indications, Contraindications, Warnings and Precautions, and Adverse Events.
13. DEVICE DESCRIPTION 13. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The PLATINIUM VR ICD device and programming system. The programming system includes the Sorin dedicated programmer with the SMARTVIEW programming software connected to a CPR3 programming head. The programming system is configured and furnished by Sorin.
Page 29
All lead connections pass through the header into the device via feedthroughs. Programming System: The Sorin programmer is used in conjunction with specific programmer software to interrogate and program the implanted device at implant and during patient follow-up procedures.
14.1. NECESSARY EQUIPMENT Implantation of PLATINIUM VR requires the following equipment: ─ Sorin ORCHESTRA programmer, equipped with the SMARTVIEW software interface and inductive telemetry head, ─ Sorin ORCHESTRA PLUS programmer, equipped with the SMARTVIEW software interface, inductive telemetry head and optionally ORCHESTRA PLUS LINK, ─...
Also check the integrity of the sterile package. The sterility of the contents is no longer guaranteed if the package has been pierced or altered. If the defibrillator is no longer sterile, it should be returned in its packaging to Sorin. Any re-sterilization of the unit is at the discretion of Sorin.
In case of defibrillator replacement, choose the appropriate device compatible with DF-1 or DF4 leads. For any other lead type that require an adaptor for this device, please contact your Sorin representative for any information on lead / connector compatibility question.
