Do not use excessive force or surgical instruments to insert a stylet into a lead as this may damage the lead. Withdraw the stylet after placing the lead to prevent potential malfunction of the lead. Use only St. Jude Medical ™ suture sleeves to immobilize and protect the lead against damage from ligatures.
Committee felt that none of these deaths were attributable to the Durata ™ lead. One-hundred sixty additional patients were withdrawn from the study for reasons listed in the following table. The reasons for withdrawal excludes withdrawals for deaths or unsuccessful implants. Table 3.

250 to 1100 Ω Values submitted that were greater than 12 mV were excluded from analysis because St. Jude Medical devices truncate R-wave signal amplitudes to 12. The device reports any R-wave amplitude greater than 12 mV as “>12 mV”.
Verify that the sterility indicator on the inner package is not purple. Purple indicates that the package has not been sterilized. St. Jude Medical does not recommend use of the product after its expiration date. If the lead package has been breached outside a sterile field or the expiration date has passed, contact St.
The package contents have been sterilized with ethylene oxide before shipment. This lead is for single use only and is not intended to be resterilized. If the sterile package has been compromised, contact St. Jude Medical. Handling the Lead Use caution when handling the lead.
® ® To avoid distortion of the Optisure lead tip, do not use a St. Jude Medical Seal-Away™ hemostasis valve. Using the Stylets CAUTION To avoid damaging the lead or body tissue, do not use excessive force or surgical instruments to insert a stylet into a lead.
Figure 7. Using the clip-on tool While keeping the lead as straight as possible, grasp the connector boot with one hand and with the other hand, rotate the clip-on tool clockwise to extend the helix. (Refer to the Technical Specifications tables for the number of rotations required to extend the helix.) The helix is fully extended when at least 2 turns are visible beyond the lead tip.
vein cutdown or, if a percutaneous subclavian entry is chosen, with a puncture site as lateral as possible (in the area under the lateral two-thirds of the clavicle, lateral to the subclavius muscle). The right subclavian vein and the internal jugular vein can also be used. Inserting the Lead A vein pick is included in the package to aid in inserting the lead into the vein.

not placed in the coronary sinus or in a retrograde position, and that the entire distal defibrillation coil is below the tricuspid valve. CAUTION Do not place the lead near another implanted lead. Such close proximity could result in the electrodes making contact with each other and cause electrical interference.
affixed lead will come loose easily and must then be repositioned. Allow enough slack in the lead so that it is not under tension as the heart contracts, or the patient breathes deeply or stretches. At the same time for dual-coil leads, ensure that there is not an excess of slack which may allow the proximal electrode to contact the tricuspid valve.
CAUTION The stylet must be withdrawn before defibrillation testing to prevent potential malfunction of the lead. However, the sensing and pacing functions of the lead can be evaluated with the stylet still in place. Verify that the tined tip is well fixed in a stable position in the trabeculae of the ventricle by pulling back gently on the lead while observing its position under fluoroscopy.
Figure 11. Attaching the alligator clips NOTE: Remove alligator clips prior to removing the connector sleeve from the lead. Testing Defibrillation Efficacy Once acceptable sensing and pacing performance has been verified, defibrillation lead testing should be performed to determine the voltage/energy requirements for reliable defibrillation, and to ensure that those requirements are well within the output capabilities of the pulse generator.
Figure 12. Suture the lead 1. Vein 2. Fascia 3. Lead body Loop heavy, nonabsorbable suture through the fascia underneath the proximal groove and tie a knot to create a base. Tie sutures firmly around each available groove on the suture sleeve.
Post-Implantation Follow-Up St. Jude Medical strongly recommends pre-discharge and chronic follow-up electrophysiology studies, including induction of ventricular fibrillation, in order to verify the long-term performance of the lead system. Follow-up chest x-rays to verify the position of the lead are also recommended.
St. Jude Medical for investigation. It is not recommended that chronically implanted leads be re- used after removal. Cap any abandoned lead and secure the lead caps with sutures to prevent unwanted transmission of electrical signals from the electrode to the heart. Seal the remaining open end of any severed lead with medical adhesive and a lead cap.
