3. CONTRAINDICATIONS 3. CONTRAINDICATIONS Implantation of INTENSIA DR 154 is contraindicated in patients: ─ whose ventricular tachyarrhythmias may have transient or reversible causes such as: acute myocardial infarction, digitalis intoxication, drowning, electrocution, electrolyte imbalance, hypoxia, sepsis, or unstable ischemic episodes, ─...
Home appliances that are in good working order and properly grounded do not usually produce enough EMI to interfere with defibrillator operation. There are reports of device disturbances caused by electric hand tools or electric razors used directly over the device implant site. SORIN – INTENSIA DR 154 – U152A...
4. After the procedure, check for proper implant function. The device should never be exposed directly to the diathermy source. External defibrillation: INTENSIA DR 154 is protected from external defibrillation shocks. 1. Before external defibrillation, disable ATP and shock therapies. 2. During external defibrillation, it is advisable to avoid placing the defibrillating paddles directly over the casing or over the leads.
Diagnostic ultrasound (echography): The defibrillator is not affected by ultrasound imaging devices. Scales with body fat monitors and electronic muscle stimulators: A patient with an implanted INTENSIA DR 154 should not use these devices. 4.2. STERILIZATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING Resterilization: Do not resterilize and re-implant explanted ICDs.
*: corresponds to ERI (Elective Replacement Indicator) previously used. 4.4. LEAD EVALUATION AND LEAD CONNECTION INTENSIA DR 154 has one IS-1, and one DF-4 connector ports. IS-1 refers to the international standard whereby leads and generators from different manufacturers are assured a basic fit (ISO 5841-1:2000).
Return all explanted generators and leads to the manufacturer. Never incinerate the device due to the potential for explosion. The device must be explanted before cremation. SORIN – INTENSIA DR 154 – U152A...

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.
11. PATIENT INFORMATION 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 or on the Sorin's web site: http://www.sorin.com. 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 INTENSIA defibrillators are supplied one per package in a sterile package. 12.2. WARRANTY AND REPLACEMENT POLICY Sorin warrants its defibrillators.

PACKAGING 14.2.1 . Contents The INTENSIA DR 154 and its accessories are ethylene oxide sterilized and hermetically sealed in two-ply clear packaging meeting international requirements. The sterile packaging contains a defibrillator and one screwdriver. The non-sterile items contained in the outer storage package are the implant manual, the ICD Registration Form and its envelope, the patient booklet, the ICD ID card and 12 identification labels.
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 the opposite, DF-4 standard compliant lead is not compatible with DF-1 connector. In case of defibrillator replacement and use of a DF-1 lead or any other lead type that require an adaptor for this device, please contact your Sorin representative for any information on lead / connector compatibility question.
