Product Description Product Description Product Description1GA-HW_en--mul_393468-BTechnical[nbsp ]Manual for the[nbsp ]DeviceIlesto 5/7 VR-T, VR-T DX, DR-T, HF-T Intended Medical Use Intended use Ilesto 5/7 is part of a familiy of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Primary objective of the therapy is to prevent sudden cardiac death. Furthermore, the device is capable of treating bradycardia arrhythmias and cardiac resynchroni- zation therapy with multisite ventricular pacing.
Page 8
Ilesto can treat life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias with antitachycardia pacing and defibrillation. Generally approved differential diagnostics methods, indications, and recommen- dations for ICD therapy apply to BIOTRONIK devices. See the guidelines of cardi- ology associations for guidance. We recommend observing the indications published by the German Cardiac Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie, Herz- und Kreislaufforschung) and the...
The housing serves as a potential antipole during shock delivery or in the case of unipolar lead configuration. DF-1/IS-1 or DF4/IS-1 BIOTRONIK provides ICDs with headers for different standardized lead connec- tions: DF-1/IS-1 and DF4/IS-1. Note: The device type DX can only be connected using a DF-1/IS-1 connector.

Telemetric communication between the device and the programmer can be carried out following initialization either by applying the programming head (PGH) to the device or by using radio frequency (RF) telemetry in the programmer. BIOTRONIK ® calls this function SafeSync...

Product Description BIOTRONIK In addition to effective pacing therapy, BIOTRONIK provides a complete therapy ® Home Monitoring management system: • With Home Monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic information as well as tech- nical data are automatically sent to a stationary or mobile transmitter via an antenna in the device header.
Product Description Therapeutic and Diagnostic Functions Diagnostic functions • Data from implantation and the most recent interrogations and follow-ups are recorded as well as arrhythmia episodes; they are stored together with other data to assess patients and the state of the device at any time. •...

Product Description Storing programs The parameter settings can be saved in 3 individual therapy programs. Home Monitoring functions • The device automatically sends information to the transmitter once a day. It also sends messages related to events, which are immediately forwarded to the Service Center.
General Safety Instructions General Safety Instructions General Safety Instructions2GA-HW_en--mul_393468-BTechnical[nbsp ]Manual for the[nbsp ]DeviceIlesto 5/7 VR-T, VR-T DX, DR-T, HF-T Operating Conditions Care during shipping and • Devices are not to be stored or transported close to magnets or sources of storage electromagnetic interference.
(EMI) intrinsic rhythm or if measurements prevent rate adaptation. • BIOTRONIK devices have been designed so that their susceptibility to EMI is minimal. • Due to the intensity and variety of EMI, there is no guarantee for safety. It is generally assumed that EMI produces only minor symptoms, if any, in patients.
• Adhere to instructions for risky therapy and diagnosis procedures. • Shield device against radiation. • After applying radiation, double-check the device system to make sure it is functioning properly. Note: Please contact BIOTRONIK with questions during the risk/benefit analysis.
Page 18
General Safety Instructions Magnetic resonance Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is contraindicated due to the high frequency imaging fields and the associated magnetic flux density: damage or destruction of the device system by strong magnetic interaction and damage to the patient by exces- sive warming of the body tissue in the area surrounding the device system.
• DF-1, DF4 and IS-1 connections are approved. For leads with a different con- nection or leads from other manufacturers, use adapters approved by BIO- TRONIK only. • BIOTRONIK programmer (with integrated SafeSync RF telemetry or with sepa- rate SafeSync Module) and approved cable • External multi-channel ECG device •...

There is a blind plug for DF-1 and IS-1 connections in the header. The provided set header screws must be carefully loosened or tightened. • Loosen set screws with the supplied screwdriver. Use only BIOTRONIK screw- drivers with torque control! • Do not forcibly pull out the blind plug! •...

Implantation Connecting the lead connector to the device Disconnect stylets and stylet guides. DF-1/IS-1 connection: • Connect the DF-1 connector for the right-ventricular shock coil to RV. • Connect the DF-1 connector for the supraventricular shock coil to SVC. Or connect a subcutaneous array to SVC. DF4/IS-1 connection: •...

Implantation Implanting Prepare the vein. Implant the leads, perform the measurements, and fixate the leads. Form the device pocket. Connect the lead connector to the device. Insert the device. Guide the fixation suture through the opening in the header and fixate the device in the prepared device pocket.
Manually set parameters can be unsafe. For example, unsuitable far-field protec- tion may impede sensing of intrinsic pulses. • Note automatic sensitivity control. Preventing device-induced BIOTRONIK devices feature several functions to prevent device-induced complica- complications tions to the greatest extent possible: • Measure the retrograde conduction time.
Page 24
Implantation Preventing conduction of BIOTRONIK devices feature several functions to prevent conduction of atrial tachy- atrial tachycardia cardia to the ventricle(s): • Set mode switching for indicated patients. • Set the upper rate and the refractory periods to prevent abrupt ventricular rate switching.
Page 25
Implantation Considering power RF telemetry requires somewhat more power: Consumption during implantation consumption and service corresponds to approximately 10 days of service time and consumption during a time 20-minute follow-up corresponds to approximately 3 days. • Do not establish unnecessary RF telemetry. •...
• If detection interruptions of longer than 8 hours are required, the magnet has to be briefly removed from the device. The 8 hour countdown restarts when the magnet is applied again. • Use BIOTRONIK magnets: type M-50 permanent magnets.
• The next in-office follow-up should be carried out once a year and no later than 12 months after the last in-office follow-up. Follow-up with BIOTRONIK Monitoring using the Home Monitoring function does not serve to replace regular ®...
Implantation Patient Information Patient ID card A patient ID card is included in delivery. • Provide the patient with the patient ID. • Request that patients contact the physician in case of uncertainties. Prohibitory signs Places with prohibitory signs must be avoided. •...
Devices should not be cremated. • Explant the device before the cremation of a deceased patient. Disposal BIOTRONIK takes back used products for the purpose of environmentally safe dis- posal. • Clean the explant with an at least 1% sodium hypochlorite solution.

Technical Data Resistance to interference • Note on device type DX (only devices with a DF-1/IS-1 connection): The EMC requirements are met as long as atrial sensitivity is set to 1.0 mV (factory set- tings) or values ≥ 1.0 mV. Measures must be taken to assure interference-free therapy if more sensitive values are set.
