18. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Clinical data presented in this section are from the SafeR (AAI <> DDD) clinical study. SafeR
(AAI <> DDD) operation in INTENSIA is similar to that in the Symphony pacemaker. The
data provided are applicable to INTENSIA SonR CRT-D 184.
18.1. ADVERSE EVENTS IN THE SAFER (AAI <> DDD) STUDY
Clinical study of the SafeR (AAI <> DDD) included 45 Symphony 2550 devices implanted in
45 patients. No serious adverse events were device- or feature-related. There were no
deaths in the study.
