QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Description

The Q-TECH Programmer (the “programmer”), Model 3200, is a component of the Cameron Health/ Boston Scientic S-ICD System, which is prescribed for patients when cardiac arrhythmia management is warranted. The other components of the S-ICD System include the SQ-RX Pulse Generator (the “SQRX device”), Q-TRAK Subcutaneous Electrode (“electrode”) and the Q-GUIDE Subcutaneous Electrode Insertion Tool (“EIT”). The programmer communicates wirelessly with the SQ-RX device to enable adjustment of programmable settings and data collection. The S-ICD System is designed for ease of use and simplicity of patient management. The S-ICD System has a number of automatic functions designed to reduce the amount of time required for implantation, initial programming and patient follow-up.

Indications for Use

The S-ICD System is intended to provide debrillation therapy for the treatment of life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients who do not have symptomatic bradycardia, incessant ventricular tachycardia, or spontaneous, frequently recurring ventricular tachycardia that is reliably terminated with anti-tachycardia pacing.

Contraindications

Unipolar pacemakers are contraindicated for use with the S-ICD System.

Programmer Warnings and Cautions

General

• External debrillation equipment should be available for immediate use during the implantation procedure and follow-up.

• Use the programmer only with the external power supply packaged with the programmer. Using other accessories may cause damage to the programmer.

• The US power cord is for connection to 110 VAC supply mains. All other power cords are for connection to 230 VAC supply mains. Outside North America, use the supplied power cord that exactly matches your AC electrical outlet.

• To avoid risk of electric shock, the programmer must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth.

• Mains isolation is achieved by disconnecting the AC power cord. Do not position the programmer or the external power supply in a manner that would make it dicult to disconnect that cord.

• Never use a damaged external power supply or a damaged programmer.

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: GENERAL DESCRIPTION

• The programmer is not waterproof or explosion-proof and it cannot be sterilized. Do not use it in the presence of ammable gas mixtures, including anesthetic mixtures containing air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.

• Conrm that the programmer is in communication with the intended implanted SQ-RX Pulse Generator.

• The programmer is intended for use by healthcare professionals only. The programmer may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures, such as reorienting or relocating the programmer or shielding the location.

• By design, the programmer emits radio frequencies (403.5 MHz and 2.5 GHz). This may interfere with nearby equipment. Closely monitor medical electrical equipment in the vicinity when using the programmer.

• The presence of other equipment in the same frequency band (403.5 MHz for the SQ-RX Pulse Generator and 2.5 GHz for the printer) may interfere with communication. If communication problems occur, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

• If the programmer is used near other medical or oce equipment, all equipment should be observed to verify normal operation. Other equipment may interfere with the programmer, even if that other equipment complies with the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) emission requirements.

• Use of non-Cameron Health/Boston Scientic-approved accessories may result in increased emissions or decreased functionality of the programmer and may cause unintended operational behavior of the programmer.

• No modication of the programmer is allowed.

• Use only the Cameron Health/Boston Scientic S-ICD programmer and appropriate software to

communicate with and program the SQ-RX Pulse Generator.

• Do not discard the programmer in a re, incinerate, or subject it to temperatures that exceed 100° C (212° F). This could cause the programmer to explode.

• Do not disassemble or alter any parts of the programmer.

• Do not immerse the programmer in liquid of any kind. If the programmer does get wet, contact

customer service for information about returning the programmer to Cameron Health/Boston Scientic. Do not attempt to dry the programmer in an oven, microwave, or dryer because this poses a risk of overheating or explosion.

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: GENERAL DESCRIPTION

• Do not subject the programmer to temperatures outside of the -10° C to 55° C (14° F to 131° F) storage range. Exposure to high temperatures may cause the programmer to overheat or ignite, and may possibly reduce its performance and service life.

• Mishandling (such as dropping or crushing) could damage the programmer. If you suspect damage to the programmer, contact your Cameron Health/Boston Scientic representative or the customer service department for instructions and return packaging.

• The display on the programmer is made of glass or acrylic and could break if the programmer is dropped or if it receives signicant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or cracked as this could cause injury .

• Contact your Cameron Health/Boston Scientic representative or the customer service department for assistance or a replacement part.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

The programmer may be aected by ESD. If ESD occurs and the programmer’s functionality is aected, attempt to reset the programmer or contact your Cameron Health/Boston Scientic representative or the customer service department for instructions.

• Do not touch or connect the telemetry wand to the programmer unless ESD precautionary procedures are used.

S-ICD System Warnings and Cautions

Before using the S-ICD System, read and follow all warnings and cautions provided in this manual. Refer to the SQ-RX Pulse Generator, Q-TRAK Electrode or Q-GUIDE Electrode Insertion Tool User’s Manuals for information on implanting and explanting the S-ICD System.

The S-ICD System contains sterile products for single use only. Do not resterilize. Handle the components of the S-ICD System with care at all times and maintain proper sterile technique.

General

• External debrillation equipment should be available for immediate use during the implantation procedure and follow-up.

• Placing a magnet over the SQ-RX Pulse Generator suspends arrhythmia detection and therapy response. Removing the magnet resumes arrhythmia detection and therapy response.

• Battery depletion will eventually cause the SQ-RX Pulse Generator to stop functioning. Debrillation and excessive numbers of charging cycles shorten the SQ-RX Pulse Generator’s battery longevity.

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: GENERAL DESCRIPTION

• The S-ICD System has not been evaluated for pediatric use.

• The S-ICD System does not provide long-term bradycardia pacing, Cardiac Resynchronization

Therapy (CRT) or Anti-Tachycardia Pacing (ATP).

Use of Other Medical Therapies/Diagnostic Procedures

• External debrillation or cardioversion may damage the S-ICD System. Avoid placing the debrillation paddles directly over the SQ-RX device or electrode.

• Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) may temporarily interfere with sensing and may cause delay of therapy.

• Do not expose a patient with an implanted S-ICD System to diathermy. The interaction of diathermy therapy with an implanted SQ-RX Pulse Generator can damage the SQ-RX Pulse Generator and cause patient injury.

• Do not expose the patient to MRI scanning. MRI scanning can damage the SQ-RX Pulse Generator and cause patient injury.

• Electrical interference or “noise” from sources such as electrosurgical and monitoring equipment can interfere with the communication between the programmer and SQ-RX Pulse Generator or cause inappropriate therapy. If interference occurs, move and reposition the programmer or wand away from the source of the interference.

• Ionizing radiation therapy, such as radioactive cobalt, linear accelerators, and betatrons may adversely aect the S-ICD System operation. Therapeutic ionizing radiation cannot be immediately detected; however, it can damage the electronic components of the SQ-RX Pulse Generator. To minimize the risks of ionizing radiation:

» Shield the SQ-RX Pulse Generator with a radiation-resistant material, regardless of the

distance between the SQ-RX Pulse Generator and the radiation beam. » Do not project the radiation port directly at the SQ-RX Pulse Generator. » Evaluate the S-ICD System operation after each radiation treatment.

• Lithotripsy and other therapeutic forms of ultrasound can damage the SQ-RX Pulse Generator. If required, avoid direct ow of the pulse waves near the site of the implanted SQ-RX Pulse Generator.

• Use caution during ablation procedures. Program the S-ICD System to Therapy O. Keep the current path (electrode tip to ground) as far away as possible from the implanted SQ-RX Pulse Generator and electrode.

• The programmer is not suitable for use in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Outside the Hospital Environment

Exposure to EMI or static magnetic elds may suspend tachycardia detection and possibly cause temporary inhibition of therapy delivery. EMI may also trigger delivery of a shock in the absence of a tachycardia. Automatic sensing and detection of tachycardias will resume when the patient moves away from the EMI or static magnetic eld source.

To minimize the risk, advise patients to avoid sources of EMI or static magnetic elds having strengths of >10 gauss or 1 mTesla.

• Sources of EMI include, but are not limited to:

An Online session begins when the programmer establishes a telemetry link with a specic SQ-RX device. A yellow alert screen is displayed if the telemetry signal is lost between the programmer and the SQ-RX device for more than ve seconds during active communication. This may occur if the

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: OPERATION

wand is moved out of the telemetry communications range or if noise or interfering objects inhibit communication. Programming commands, including Rescue Shocks, will not be available until telemetry is reestablished.

Telemetry reconnection may occur automatically within one minute when the SQ-RX device and wand are within telemetry range.

Note: Whenever the programmer is in active communication with an SQ-RX

device, charging of the pulse generator in preparation for delivering a shock (whether commanded or in response to a detected arrhythmia) is indicated by an audible notication. The notication continues until the shock is delivered or aborted.

Oine Behavior

When the programmer is not actively communicating with an SQ-RX device it is Oine. During Oine sessions, programmer settings can be accessed, and stored patient sessions can be viewed and/or printed.

Stored Patient Sessions

During a patient follow-up visit, the programmer will retrieve data from the SQ-RX device’s memory. The programmer can store up to 15 patient sessions. When the 16th session occurs, the programmer will automatically replace the oldest stored session with the new data. A stored session includes the following information:

• Captured S-ECG Reports

• Episode History (including any downloaded episodes)

• Patient Data

• Programmed Device Settings

To view stored patient sessions:

1. From the Startup screen, select Stored Patient Sessions.

2. Select the desired patient session.

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: OPERATION

Modes of Operation for the SQ-RX Device

The SQ-RX device has three modes of operation:

• Shelf

• Therapy On

• Therapy O

Shelf Mode

The Shelf mode is a low power consumption state intended for storage only. When communication is initiated between the SQ-RX device and the programmer, a full-energy capacitor reformation is automatically performed and the SQ-RX device is prepared for set-up. Once the SQ-RX device is taken out of Shelf mode, it cannot be reprogrammed back into Shelf mode.

Therapy On Mode

The Therapy On mode is the primary operating mode of the SQ-RX device, allowing automatic detection of, and response to, ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

Note: The SQ-RX device must be programmed out of Shelf mode before being

programmed to Therapy On.

Therapy O Mode

The Therapy O mode disables automatic therapy delivery and enables manual control of shock delivery. Programmable parameters may be viewed and adjusted via the programmer. Also, the subcutaneous electrogram (S-ECG) may be displayed or printed.

The SQ-RX device automatically defaults to Therapy O mode when the SQ-RX device is taken out of Shelf mode.

Note: Manual and rescue shock therapy are available once the initial Setup process

is complete.

Figure 33: Induction Test screen

The following functions occur during the test:

• The S-ICD System induces ventricular brillation using 200 mA alternating current

(AC) at 50 Hz. Induction continues until the Hold To Induce button is released (up to a maximum of 10 seconds per attempt).

• Arrhythmia detection and the Live S-ECG are suspended during AC induction. Once

the Induction button is released, the programmer displays the patient’s rhythm.

• Upon detection and conrmation of an induced arrhythmia, the S-ICD System

automatically delivers a shock at the programmed energy output and polarity.

• If the shock fails to convert the arrhythmia, re-detection occurs and subsequent

shocks are delivered at the SQ-RX device’s maximum energy output (80 J).

Note: Following the release of the Hold To Induce button, evaluate the sensing

markers during the induced rhythm. The S-ICD System uses a lengthened rhythm detection period. Consistent tachy “T” markers indicate that tachyarrhythmia detection is occurring, and that capacitor charging is imminent. If a high degree of amplitude variation is noted during the arrhythmia, a slight delay may be expected prior to capacitor charging or shock delivery.

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: OPERATION

Note: The SQ-RX device can deliver a maximum of ve shocks per episode. At any

time, an 80 J rescue shock can be delivered by pressing the Rescue Shock button.

8. Select the Exit button to exit the induction process and return to the Main Menu screen.

Performing an SQ-RX Follow-up

Sensing Conguration and Automatic Setup

It is not necessary to perform Automatic Setup at each follow-up. If Automatic Setup is performed, resulting in a vector change, sensing should be reevaluated. After the setup process is complete, evaluate the streaming S-ECG during a pectoral exercise. Sensing performance during high rate exercises can also be performed. Acceptable sensing will yield “S” markers synchronous to all QRS complexes. If other markers are noted, use the Manual Setup process to evaluate other sensing congurations.

Note: If Manual Setup was previously used to override a sensing conguration,

careful consideration should be taken when selecting Automatic Setup.

If an update to the reference S-ECG is desired due to a change in the patient’s resting ECG, follow the Acquire Reference S-ECG instructions.

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: MAINTENANCE

If for any reason the shock could not be delivered, a red background screen will appear with a message stating “The Shock could not be delivered.”

Note: In the event telemetry is lost, SQ-RX device commands, including Rescue

Shocks, will not be available until telemetry is reestablished.

Manual shock

Manual Shock allows the user to deliver a synchronized shock during a sinus rhythm, an atrial rhythm or a ventricular rhythm. The shock energy level is user-congured in the 10 to 80 joule range (Figure 52). Manual shock may also be utilized at a low energy to assess system impedance/integrity either at implant or as warranted by patient condition. A manual shock may be administered with the S-ICD detection zone(s) either ON or OFF.

S-ICD System Magnet Model 4520

Model 4520 Magnet (the “magnet”) is a nonsterile accessory used to inhibit the delivery of therapy from the SQ-RX device. Apply the magnet at against the skin directly over the implanted SQ-RX device for a minimum of one (1) second to suspend arrhythmia detection. Removal of the magnet will return the SQ-RX device to normal operation. If the magnet is applied during an episode, the episode will not be stored in the SQ-RX device memory.

QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: MAINTENANCE

Other behaviors of magnet application:

• Inhibit shock therapy delivery

• Terminate post-shock pacing therapy

• Prohibit arrhythmia induction testing

• Activate the SQ-RX device’s beeper with each detected QRS complex for 60 seconds

Note: A programmer commanded Rescue Shock can override the use of the magnet

as long as the magnet was in place prior to the initiation of the programming command. If the magnet is applied after the initial command, the Rescue Shock will be terminated.

Note: Magnet application does not aect wireless communication between the SQ-

RX device and the programmer.
