CONTAK® RENEWAL™ Models H125 and H120 with the Model 2865 Version 1.8 Application Software

Guidant Corporation

St. Paul, MN

55112

Approval for the CONTAK RENEWAL TR.  The device is indicated s follows:  The CONTAK RENEWAL TR pulse generator is indicated for patients who have moderate to severe heart failure (NYHA Class III/IV) including left ventricular dysfunction (EF < 35%) and QRS duration > 120 ms and remain symptomatic despite stable, optimal heart failure drug therapy (as defined in the clinical trials section).  The device provides atrial-ventricular tracking modes to help preserve AV synchrony, and adaptive-rate pacing for patients who would benefit from adjusted pacing rates concurrent with physical activity.

Verity ADx XL VDR Model 5456i

St. Jude Medical

Sylmar, CA

91342

Approval to modify the header design of a currently marketed device.  The device, as modified, will be marketed under the trade name Verity ADx XL VDR Model 5456i and is indicated as follows:  The Verity ADx XL VDR Model 5456i is indicated for use only with AV Plus Model 1328C or 1358C single-pass in-line quadripolar leads (the Verity ADx XL VDR Pacing System).  The Verity ADx XL VDR Pacing System is intended to provide VDD or VDDR pacing for patients with a healthy sinus node and AV conduction abnormalities.  These modes are indicated for patients who need ventricular pacing when adequate atrial rates and adequate intracavitary atrial complexes are present.  This includes the presence of complete AV block when:  a) atrial contribution is needed for hemodynamic benefit, and  b) pacemaker syndrome had existed or is anticipated.  Additional indications include normal sinus rhythm and normal AV conduction in patients who intermittently need ventricular pacing.
