1 Product Description
Intended Medical Use
Intended use
Inventra/Iperia/Itrevia are parts of a familiy of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
(ICDs). Primary objective of the therapy is to prevent sudden cardiac death. Further-
more, the device is capable of treating bradycardia arrhythmias and cardiac resynchro-
nization therapy with multisite ventricular pacing.
The implantation of an ICD is a symptomatic therapy with the following objectives:
Termination of spontaneous ventricular fibrillation (VF) through shock delivery
Termination of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia (VT) through antitachycardia
pacing (ATP); in case of ineffective ATP or hemodynamically not tolerated VT, with
shock delivery
Cardiac resynchronization through multisite ventricular pacing (triple-chamber
devices)
Compensation of bradycardia through ventricular (single-chamber devices) or
AV sequential pacing (DX, dual and triple-chamber devices)
Diagnosis and therapy forms
The device monitors the heart rhythm and automatically detects and terminates
cardiac arrest resulting from ventricular tachyarrhythmia. All major therapeutic
approaches from the field of cardiology and electrophysiology are included. BIOTRONIK
Home Monitoring
®
enables physicians to perform therapy management at any time.
Required expertise
In addition to having basic medical knowledge, the user must be thoroughly familiar
with the operation and the operation conditions of a device system.
Only qualified medical specialists having this special knowledge required are
