QTECH™ PROGRAMMER: OPERATION
Debrillation Testing
Once the SQ-RX device is implanted and Automatic Therapy is programmed On, debrillation
testing may be conducted.
Note: Debrillation testing is recommended at implant to conrm the ability of
the S-ICD System to sense and convert VF.
Note: Episode data associated with rescue shocks, manual shocks, and
induction testing is not stored in the SQ-RX device.
To induce VF and test the S-ICD System:
1. Select the Main Menu icon on the Navigation Bar to access the Main Menu.
2. Select the Patient Test button to setup the induction test (Figure 32).
Figure 32: Select the Patient Test Button to access the Induction Test screen.
3. Select either standard (STD) or reverse (REV) polarity (Figure 33).
4. Select and drag the red marker to set the desired shock energy for the rst delivered
shock. The shock energy may be programmed from 10 to 80 J. A 15 J safety margin is
recommended for debrillation testing.
