The Boston Scientific RELIANCE 4-FRONT DF4 ICD Defibrillation Lead (REF 685) is a transvenous endocardial lead intended for connection to compatible Boston Scientific implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and CRT-D pulse generators equipped with a DF4-LLHH connector port. The lead is engineered to deliver high-voltage defibrillation therapy as well as pace/sense functionality through a single, streamlined connector interface, supporting a simplified implant workflow in the right ventricle.
Key Features
DF4-LLHH single-connector design consolidating pace/sense and high-voltage conductors into one terminal pin
Active fixation via extendable/retractable helix for targeted right ventricular placement
Single-coil shocking configuration with RV defibrillation coil
Silicone lead body with polyurethane (Optim or equivalent) abrasion-resistant coating as specified by the manufacturer
Steroid-eluting tip intended to help reduce acute pacing thresholds
Designed for compatibility with Boston Scientific DF4 ICD and CRT-D generators
Clinical Applications
High-voltage defibrillation therapy delivery for patients indicated for an ICD or CRT-D system
Right ventricular pacing and intracardiac sensing
Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) delivery via a compatible pulse generator
Use in new ICD/CRT-D implants where a single-coil DF4 lead configuration is selected by the implanting physician
