ventricular fibrillation (VF) during radiofrequency (RF) therapy with the Medtronic Sphere-9 catheter in patients who have a Biotronik Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or Biotronik Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillator (CRT-D) implanted. The observation is caused by an interaction between the Sphere-9 catheter current flow and a safety feature built into Biotronik ICDs and CRT Ds. Medtronic recommends physicians use increased caution when using the Sphere-9 catheter for RF ablation therapy in patients implanted with a Biotronik ICD/CRT-D system, and to ensure external defibrillation systems are readily available.
There is a potential for delayed time to high-voltage (HV) therapy should a rare sequence of events occur.
In prior SmartSync application versions, the Abort button stopped the test that was selected. During an induction test, there was a limited window of time for the user to abort a therapy, thereby limiting the user's ability to cancel a high voltage therapy delivery.
