The Boston Scientific ENDOTAK RELIANCE DF1 Defibrillation Lead (REF 171) is a transvenous, endocardial defibrillation lead intended for chronic implantation in the right ventricle as part of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system. Built on the ENDOTAK RELIANCE platform, it is engineered to deliver sensing, bradycardia pacing and high-voltage defibrillation therapy through a DF1/IS-1 connector configuration compatible with compatible Boston Scientific ICD pulse generators.
Key Features
- DF1/IS-1 tri-lead connector configuration for use with compatible ICD pulse generators
- Transvenous endocardial lead design for right ventricular placement
- Integrated bipolar sensing and pacing electrodes
- High-voltage defibrillation coil(s) for shock therapy delivery
- Silicone insulation with polyurethane or ETFE coil coating per manufacturer platform specifications
- Steroid-eluting tip designed to support stable chronic pacing thresholds
- Fixation mechanism consistent with the ENDOTAK RELIANCE family (active or passive variant dependent on model)
- Not specified in the located sources: exact lead length, coil spacing and fixation type for REF 171
Clinical Applications
- Use as the ventricular defibrillation lead component of an ICD system
- Sensing of intrinsic ventricular activity for tachyarrhythmia detection
- Delivery of bradycardia pacing therapy
- Delivery of cardioversion and defibrillation shock therapy for ventricular tachyarrhythmias
- Intended for implantation by trained electrophysiology and cardiac implant professionals in accordance with the manufacturer Instructions for Use
