The primary objective of the therapy is to prevent sudden cardiac death. Furthermore, the device is capable of treating bradycardia arrhythmias and cardiac resynchronization therapy with multisite ventricular pacing.The implantation of an ICD is a symptomatic therapy with the following objectives: •Termination of spontaneous ventricular fibrillation (VF) through shock delivery•Termination of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia (VT) through antitachycardia pacing (ATP); in case of ineffective ATP or hemodynamically not tolerated VT, with shock delivery •Cardiac resynchronization through multisite ventricular pacing (triple-chamber devices)•Compensation of bradycardia through ventricular (single-chamber devices) or AV sequential pacing (DX, dual- and triple-chamber devices). VR-T DX and HF-T/HF-T QP devices types with DX functionality are only indicated for patients not requiring atrial pacing.Diagnosis and therapy formsThe device monitors the heart rhythm and automatically detects and treats cardiac arrest resulting from ventricular tachyarrhythmia. All major therapeutic approaches from the field of cardiology and electrophysiology are included. BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring® enables physicians to perform therapy management at any time.Required expertiseIn addition to having basic medical knowledge, the user must be thoroughly familiar with the operation and the operation conditions of a device system.•Only qualified medical specialists having this required special knowledge are permitted to use implantable devices.•If users do not possess this knowledge, they must be trained accordingly.417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 1 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM

DF4/IS-1/IS4The labeling on each device provides information pertaining to the connector port assignment in the header. LeadsBIOTRONIK leads are sheathed with biocompatible silicone. They can be flexibly maneuvered, are stable long-term, and are equipped for active or passive fixation. They are implanted using a lead introducer set. Some leads are coated with polyurethane which is known to increase the sliding properties for the lead. Leads with steroids reduce inflammatory processes. The fractal design of the electrodes provides for low pacing thresholds. BIOTRONIK provides adapters to connect already implanted leads to new devices.TelemetryTelemetric communication between the device and the programmer can be carried out following initialization either by applying the programming head (PGH) to the device or by using wireless radio frequency (RF) telemetry in the programmer. BIOTRONIK calls this function SafeSync.ProgrammerImplantation and follow-up are performed with BIOTRONIK's portable programmer: Software PSW as of version 1505.There are programmers with integrated or external SafeSync Module for RF telemetry.Leadless ECG, IEGM, markers and functions are displayed simultaneously on the color display.The programmer allows you to determine the thresholds and to perform all tests during an in-office follow-up; in addition, you can change the permanent program and send it to the implanted device.In addition to this, the programmer is used to set mode and parameter combinations, as well as for interrogation and saving of data from the device.VR DR HFConnector port Lead connector Configuration Implantation site Device typeRA IS-1 Bipolar Atrium DR, HFRV DF4 Bipolar and shock coil Right ventricle VR, DR, HFLV IS-1 Unipolar, bipolar Left ventricle HFHF QPConnector port Lead connector Configuration Implantation site Device typeRA IS-1 Bipolar Atrium HF QPRV DF4 Bipolar and shock coil Right ventricle HF QPLV IS4 Unipolar, bipolar Left ventricle HF QPDF4-LLHHRV DF4-LLHHRVRAIS-1DF4-LLHHRVRAIS-1LVIS-1DF4-LLHHRVLVIS4-LLLL IS-1RA417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 4 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM

en • English7Therapeutic and Diagnostic FunctionsDiagnostic functions•Data from implantation and the most recent interrogations and follow-ups are recorded as well as arrhythmia episodes; they are stored together with other data to assess both the patients' and the device's state at any time.•To check the lead for proper functioning, an automatic impedance measurement using subthreshold pacing pulses is performed in the device.•Leadless ECG function: For all device types, far-field derivation can be measured without external leads between the right ventricular shock coil and housing, which, depending on the implantation site, corresponds to ECG derivation II or III (Einthoven).•Once a telemetry connection has been established during a test procedure in an in-office follow-up, the leadless ECG and the IEGM are displayed with markers.Antitachycardia pacing•The ICD can treat ventricular tachycardia with antitachycardia pacing (ATP); ATP can also be delivered in the VF zone (ATP One Shot) when the stability criterion (monomorphic rapid VTs) is met before shock delivery.•The ICD can also respond to atrial tachycardia with antitachycardia pacing (ATP) in case of stable heart rates or with high-rate pacing (HF bursts) in case of unstable heart rates.•Depending on the device type, the device program contains not only the ICD functions but also all pacemaker functions for 1, 2 or 3 chambers. The heart rhythm is continuously monitored; each arrhythmia is classified according to the heart rate and the adjustable detection criteria. Depending on the preset values, antibrady-cardia as well as antitachycardia therapy is inhibited or delivered.Cardioversion, defibrillation•The ICD can treat ventricular tachyarrhythmia with cardioversion and/or defibrilla-tion. Shock polarity and energy can be programmed individually. Shock energies between 2.0 J and 40 J are possible. Before delivery of the shock, the ICD can be set to only deliver a shock when ongoing tachyarrhythmia is confirmed; during this time period the device can identify spontaneous conversion of the tachyarrhythmia and cancel the charging process if necessary.•The shock paths can be set between the different shock coils (SVC/RV) and/or the housing.Antibradycardia pacing and CRT•Rate hystereses, automatic sensor functions, and a night program promote the patient's intrinsic rhythm, avoid overdrive pacing, and facilitate adaptation of the device to the individual needs of the patient.•Both atrial and ventricular thresholds are determined automatically in the device. For the 5 and 7 series , capture control is used to set the pulse amplitudes so that pacing is performed with the optimum atrial and ventricular amplitude for the patients with each change of the pacing threshold.•Setting an upper tracking rate for the atrium prevents unspecific atrial pacing, thus reducing the risk of pacemaker-mediated tachycardia.•Positive AV hysteresis functions support intrinsic conduction and thus the natural contraction sequence. Negative AV hysteresis functions support the cardiac resyn-chronization therapy by maintaining pacing in stress situations.•For resynchronization of the ventricles, triple-chamber implants have functions for multisite pacing with possible VV delays in either direction.•To ensure that no additional surgery is necessary in case of a left-sided increase of pacing threshold or undesired phrenic nerve stimulation, different pacing polarities can be set for the left ventricular lead with a triple-chamber device. Up to 12 vectors can be used with the HF QP device type.•With the HF QP device of the 7 series: Two stimuli can be configured for the left ventricle with a view to improve the resonchronization of the ventricles. The stimuli can be delivered sequentially or simultaneously.•Additional, special form of rate adaptation with devices from the 7 series: an increased cardiac output requirement is detected using physiological impedance measurement. The measuring principle is based on contractile changes (ionotropy) of the myocardium (CLS function: Closed Loop Stimulation). Rate adaptation is automatically initialized and optimized in CLS mode.•Ventricular pacing suppression with devices from the 5 and 7 series unnecessary ventricular pacing is avoided by promoting intrinsic conduction (Vp suppression function). The device can thereby adapt to conduction changes and switch between an ADI(R) and a DDD(R) mode.417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 7 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM
8Storing programsThere are different therapy programs: •Parameter settings effective for the most common indications in pre-configured programs (Program Consult).•For special indications, individual parameter settings can be stored in up to three therapy programs.ProMRI devices recognize magnetic resonance imaging devicesIntica has a sensor which can reliably recognize a magnetic resonance imaging device. This sensor can be activated for a maximum of 14 days using the MRI AutoDetect function during an interrogation.If the patient comes near a magnetic resonance imaging device within the time set, the implanted device recognizes the imaging device and automatically activates the preset MRI program. Reprogrammation to the permanent program occurs also automatically when the imaging device is left. Home Monitoring functions•The device automatically sends information to the transmitter once a day. It also sends messages related to events, which are immediately forwarded to the Service Center. In addition to this, test messages can be initiated using the programmer.•Appointments for Home Monitoring-supported follow-ups can be scheduled via the HMSC.•Important medical information in the device messages include the following:—Atrial and ventricular arrhythmias—Parameters relevant to leads in the atrium and ventricle: pacing thresholds, sensing amplitudes, impedances—Current statistics—IEGM online HD with up to 3 high definition channels2 General Safety InstructionsOperating ConditionsTechnical manualsThe following technical manuals provide information about usage of the device systems:— Technical manual for the device— Technical manual for the HMSC— Technical manuals for leads— Technical manuals for the programmer and its accessories— Technical manuals for the user interface— Technical manuals for cables, adapters and accessories•Technical manuals are either included in hard copy form in the storage package or in digital form on the internet: manuals.biotronik.com.•Follow all relevant technical manuals.•Reserve technical manuals for later use.Care during shipping and storage•Devices must not be stored or transported close to magnets or sources of electro-magnetic interference.•Note the effects of the storage duration; see Battery Data.Delivery in shipment modeThe device is delivered in shipment mode to protect the battery; capacitor reforming required during storage could result in controlled extended charge times of the shock capacitors.•The shipment mode is displayed on the programmer after the initial interrogation (it is deactivated during implantation by the first valid (in-range) measurement of the pacing impedance).TemperatureExtremely low and high temperatures affect the service time of the battery in the device. •Permitted for shipping and storage are +5°C to +45°C.417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 8 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM
en • English9Sterile deliveryThe device and the screwdriver have been gas-sterilized. Sterility is guaranteed only if the blister and quality control seal have not been damaged. Sterile packagingThe device and screwdriver are packaged in two separately sealed blisters. The inner blister is also sterile on the outside so that it can be transferred in a sterile state during implantation.Single use onlyThe device and screwdriver are intended for single use only. •Do not use the device if the package is damaged.•The device must not be resterilized and reused.Possible ComplicationsGeneral information on medical complicationsComplications for patients and device systems generally recognized among practitio-ners also apply to BIOTRONIK devices. •Normal complications may include fluid accumulation within the device pocket, infections, or tissue reactions. Primary sources of complication information include current scientific and technological knowledge.•It is impossible to guarantee the efficacy of antitachycardia therapy, even if the programs have proven successful during tests or subsequent electrophysiological examinations. In rare cases the set parameters may become ineffective. It is possible for therapies to induce or accelerate tachycardia and cause sustained ventricular flutter or fibrillation.Skeletal myopotentialsBipolar sensing and control of sensitivity are adapted by the device to the rate range of intrinsic events so that skeletal myopotentials are usually not recorded. Skeletal myopotentials can nonetheless be classified as intrinsic events especially at very high sensing sensitivity and, depending on the interference, may cause inhibition or anti-arrhythmia therapy.In the case of undesired myopotentials, the device switches to asynchronous pacing if the interference rate is exceeded.Possible technical failuresTechnical failure of a device system cannot be entirely ruled out. Possible causes can include the following: •Lead dislodgement, lead fracture •Insulation defects•Device component failures•Battery depletion•Interrupted telemetryElectromagnetic interference (EMI)Any device can be sensitive to interference if external signals are sensed as intrinsic rhythm or if measurements prevent rate adaptation. •BIOTRONIK devices have been designed so that their susceptibility to EMI is minimal. •Due to the intensity and variety of EMI, there is no guarantee for safety. It is generally assumed that EMI produces only minor symptoms, if any, in patients.•Depending on the pacing mode and the type of interference, sources of interference may lead to pulse inhibition or triggering, an increase in the sensor-dependent pacing rate or asynchronous pacing.•Under unfavorable conditions, for example during therapeutic or diagnostic proce-dures, interference sources may induce such a high level of energy into the pacing system that the cardiac tissue surrounding the lead tip is damaged.Device behavior in case of EMIIn case of electromagnetic interference, the device switches to asynchronous pacing for as long as the interference rate is exceeded. Static magnetic fieldsThe magnetic sensor in the device detects magnetic fields starting at a magnetic flux density of approximately 1.5 mT. Magnetic fields below 1 mT do not affect the sensor.417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 9 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM
10Possible RisksProcedures to avoidThe following procedures must be avoided, as they may cause harm to the patient or damage the device and, as a result, put the system functionality at risk: •Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation•Hyperbaric oxygen therapy•Applied pressures higher than normal pressureRisky therapeutic and diagnostic proceduresIf electrical current from an external source is conducted through the body for diag-nostic or therapeutic purposes, then the device can be subjected to interference, which can place the patient at risk.Arrhythmia or ventricular fibrillation can be induced during diathermic procedures such as electrocautery, HF ablation or HF surgery. For example, damaging pressure levels may arise during lithotripsy. For example, excessive warming of body tissue near the device system may occur during therapeutic ultrasound. Influences on the device are not always immediately clear.If risky procedures cannot be avoided, the following should be observed at all times:•Electrically insulate the patient.•Switch off the ICD's detection function; the pacemaker function may remain active, switch to asynchronous modes if necessary.•Do not introduce energy near the device system.•Additionally check the peripheral pulse of the patient.•Monitor the patient during and after every intervention.External defibrillationThe device is protected against the energy that is normally induced by external defibril-lation. Nevertheless, any implanted device may be damaged by external defibrillation. Specifically, the current induced in the implanted leads may result in necrotic tissue formation close to the electrode/tissue interface. As a result, sensing properties and pacing thresholds may change. •Place adhesive electrodes anterior-posterior or perpendicular to the axis formed by the device to the heart at least 10 cm away from the device and from implanted leads.Radiation therapyThe use of radiation therapy must be avoided due to possible damage to the device and the resulting impaired functional safety. If this type of therapy is to be used anyway, prior risk/benefit analysis is absolutely necessary. The complexity of influencing factors such as different sources of radiation, a variety of devices and therapy condi-tions makes it impossible to issue directives that guarantee radiation therapy without an impact on the device. The EN 45502 standard pertaining to active implantable medical devices requires the following measures during the administration of thera-peutic ionizing radiation:•Adhere to instructions for risky therapy and diagnosis procedures.•Shield device against radiation.•After applying radiation, double-check the device system to make sure it is func-tioning properly.Note: Please contact BIOTRONIK with questions during the risk/benefit analysis.Magnetic resonance imagingMagnetic resonance imaging must be avoided due to the associated high frequency fields and magnetic flux density: Damage or destruction of the device system by strong magnetic interaction and damage to the patient by excessive warming of the body tissue in the area surrounding the device system.Under certain conditions and when maintaining mandatory measures to protect the patient and device system, magnetic resonance imaging can be performed.

Inadequate therapyWhen leads are not spaced sufficiently apart or are positioned inappropriately, this can lead to far-field sensing or insufficient defibrillation.•The distance between 2 shock coils must be greater than 6 cm.•Tip and ring electrodes must not have contact with each other.en • English13Keeping distance between leadsApplying the programming headThe programming head (PGH) features a diagram of the device. This is used to assist in positioning the head to ensure proper telemetry.•Make sure the PGH is positioned correctly.Establishing RF telemetryThe programmer (or the SafeSync Module) can be no more than 3 m from the device; ideally there should be no hindrances between the patient and the programmer.•Switch on RF telemetry on the programmer.•Apply the programming head for about 2 s until successful initialization is displayed on the programmer:The SafeSync symbol is displayed in the navigator and the signal strength is displayed in the status line.• Remove the programming head.Activating ICD therapy•Load the software that is suitable for the device type in the programmer.•Activate ICD therapy.•Shipment mode is permanently deactivated once the leads have been connected and initial measurement of the pacing impedance has been performed success-fully.

This indicator can vary depending on the manufacturer of the lead used.5 If you cannot easily plug the lead connector into the connection:•Use only sterile water as lubricant.6 If the lead connector cannot be inserted completely, the set screw may be protruding into the drill hole of the set screw block. •Use the screwdriver to perpendicularly pierce through the slitted point in the center of the silicone plug until it reaches the set screw.•Carefully loosen the set screw without completely unscrewing it, so that it does not become tilted upon retightening.7 Turn the set screw clockwise until torque control starts (you will hear a clicking sound). 8 Carefully withdraw the screwdriver without retracting the set screw. •In case of IS-1 connections with 2 set screws, tighten both screws!•When you withdraw the screwdriver, the silicone plug automatically seals the access to the screw head safely.WWARNING417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 13 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM
14Cancelling telemetryProgrammer interference or interrupted telemetry during performance of temporary programs (follow-up tests) can result in inadequate pacing of the patient. This is the case if the programmer can no longer be operated due to a program error or a defective touch screen and therefore the temporary program cannot be terminated. Under these circumstances, it is helpful to cancel telemetry, in which case the device automatically switches to the permanent program. •In the case of telemetry with programming head: lift the PGH by at least 30 cm.•In the case of RF telemetry: switch off and reposition the programmer.•Turn off possible sources of interference.Avoiding critical parameter settingsNo modes and parameter combinations that pose a risk to the patient should be set.•Prior to setting rate adaptation, determine the patient's capacity for exertion.•Check compatibility and effectiveness of parameter combinations after making settings.•When setting atrial therapies after an AT or AF has been detected, note that no ventricular tachyarrhythmia can be detected for the duration of atrial therapy delivery.Avoiding risks in the case of exclusive LV pacingLead dislodgement in the case of exclusive left ventricular pacing could pose the following risks: loss of ventricular pacing and ATP therapy, induction of atrial arrhyth-mias.•Consider sensing and pacing parameters with reference to loss of therapy. •Exclusive LV pacing is not recommended for patients who depend on the device.•Please note that capture control is not available. •In the case of follow-ups and threshold tests, take loss of synchronized ventricular pacing into consideration. •Mode switching and post shock do not permit exclusive LV pacing. Please note the effects when programming mode switching and the post shock parameters.Monitoring the patient when setting asynchronous modesThe asynchronous modes V00 and D00 can only be set if tachyarrhythmia sensing is deactivated. This would leave the patient without sensing and therefore without ICD therapy.•Continually monitor the patient.•Keep an external defibrillator ready.Complying with the morphology criteriaTo distinguish between ventricular and supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, QRS complexes, among other aspects, are compared to each other. You can set a MorphMatch threshold for the purpose of tachyarrhythmia discrimination, usually a standard value. Settings that differ, that is to say, a higher or lower threshold to discriminate the individual QRS complexes, may lead to a delayed/inhibited or unneces-sary therapy.•Set deviations from the standard with particular caution.Setting sensingManually set parameters can be unsafe. For example, unsuitable far-field protection may impede sensing of intrinsic pulses.•Note automatic sensitivity control.Preventing device-induced complicationsBIOTRONIK devices feature several functions to prevent device-induced complications to the greatest extent possible:•Measure the retrograde conduction time.•Set PMT protection.•Set the VA criterion.Preventing conduction of atrial tachycardiaBIOTRONIK devices feature several functions to prevent conduction of atrial tachy-cardia to the ventricle(s):•Set mode switching for indicated patients.•Set the upper rate and the refractory periods to prevent abrupt ventricular rate switching.•Prefer Wenckebach response and avoid 2:1 behavior.•Set all parameters so as to prevent constant changing between atrial and ventricular-controlled modes.417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 14 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM
en • English15Avoiding AV crosstalkWhen pacing using atrial ATP parameters, atrial pacing pulses can either be conducted into the ventricle or be sensed such that ventricular pacing is prevented.•Check the settings for the presence of crosstalk.•If necessary, temporarily set VVI and a rate for backup stimulation so that no ventricular pulses are prevented.Observing the shock impedance limitThe implanted device could be damaged if the shock impedance is too low.•The shock impedance must be > 25 Ω.Preventing recurrence after therapy shockAfter a therapy shock, pacing can be performed with a post-shock program if there is no intrinsic rhythm. •The following post-shock program parameters can be adjusted: Post-shock duration, basic rate, rate hysteresis, ventricular pacing, LV T-wave protection, triggering, AV delay (fixed, not dynamic)•The default settings for the post-shock program are as follows:A and RV: 7.5 V and 1.5 msLV: settings from the permanent programPhrenic nerve stimulation that cannot be terminatedIn rare cases, chronic phrenic nerve stimulation cannot be terminated by reprogram-ming the available left ventricular pacing configuration or using other measures.•Set a right ventricular mode both in the permanent program as well as the ATP, in the post-shock program and for mode switching if need be.Note the reduced pulse amplitude due to a battery voltage dropIf the rate and amplitude are set very high and the pulse width is set too long at the same time, the battery voltage may temporarily drop so low that the actual pulse amplitude drops well below the selected level.•Continuously check the pacing efficiency using ECG monitoring.Observe when inducing short-term cardiac arrestTo permit TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation), the pressure in the heart must be reduced so that the heart valve can be correctly positioned. Intentional cardiac arrest by high-rate pacing (rapid pacing) should be brief, must be tolerated by the patient and can trigger a life-threatening arrhythmia.•Take all necessary precautionary measures and keep required emergency equipment ready.•Continually monitor the patient by ECG.•Complete the TAVI procedure before high-rate pacing ends. Extend the pacing duration if necessary.•Abort the procedure if it is not successfully completed within the maximum pacing duration so that cardiac arrest can be stopped.•Reactivate ICD therapy at a clinically indicated point in time when the TAVI process is completed.Checking the settings of the DX leadThe triple-chamber device allows for a DX lead to be implanted for the right atrium and connected to the IS-1 connector of the device.•DX sensing in the atrium requires a special setting in the programmer which then has to be transmitted.Checking for electrodes suitable for the shock pathThree different shock paths can be set. Two of these form an electrical path to the housing of the implanted device. •For the RV -> SVC shock path, a second shock coil must be available (dual shock coil).Recognizing lead failureAutomatic impedance measurement is always switched on.•Impedance values that indicate technical failure of a lead are documented in the event list.Permanent program Post-shock programDDD(R), DDI(R), AAI(R), DDD-ADI(R)7 series: DDD-CLSDDIVDD(R), VDI(R) VDIVVI(R) and OFF7 series: VVI-CLSVVI417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 15 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM
16Considering power consumption and service timeRF telemetry requires somewhat more power: Consumption during implantation corre-sponds to approximately 7 days of service time and consumption during a 20-minute follow-up corresponds to approximately 2 days.•Do not establish unnecessary RF telemetry.•After 5 minutes without input, SafeSync switches to the economy mode.•Check the battery capacity of the device at regular intervals. Note: Multi pole pacing also needs more power, which leads to various lengths of service time.Magnet ResponseApplication of the programming head when ICD therapy is set If a connected programming head is applied and is communicating with the programmer and ICD therapy is permanently set, detection and therapy remain intact except during the diagnostic tests. If ICD therapy is not set as permanent, no therapy is delivered when the programming head is applied.Programming head applicationWhen the programming head is applied, time remains for device interrogation and for manual activation or deactivation of the therapy before the device switches back to the previously set permanent therapy mode. The same applies to programming head appli-cation to establish RF telemetry contact.Application of a permanent magnetApplying a permanent magnet interrupts detection and therapy of tachycardia events. After 8 hours of this type of deactivation, the device automatically reactivates the therapy functions to prevent accidental permanent deactivation. •If detection interruptions of longer than 8 hours are required, the magnet has to be briefly removed from the device. The 8 hour countdown restarts when the magnet is applied again.•Use BIOTRONIK magnets: type M-50 permanent magnets.Follow-upFollow-up intervalsFollow-ups must be performed at regular, agreed intervals.•The first follow-up should be carried out by the physician using the programmer (in-office follow-up) approximately 3 months after implantation following the lead ingrowth phase.•The next in-office follow-up should be carried out once a year and no later than 12 months after the last in-office follow-up.Follow-up with BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring Monitoring using the Home Monitoring function does not serve to replace regular in-office appointments with the physician required for other medical reasons. Follow-up supported by Home Monitoring can be used to functionally replace in-office follow-up under the following conditions:•The patient was informed that the physician must be contacted despite use of the Home Monitoring function if symptoms worsen or if new symptoms arise.•Device messages are transmitted regularly.•The physician decides whether the data transmitted via Home Monitoring with regard to the patient's clinical condition as well as the technical state of the device system are sufficient. If not, an in-office follow-up needs to be carried out.Possible early detection due to information gained via Home Monitoring may necessi-tate an additional in-office follow-up. For example, the data may indicate at an early stage lead problems or a foreseeable end of service time (ERI). Furthermore, the data could provide indications of previously unrecognized arrhythmias or modification of the therapy by reprogramming the device.417634--B_GA_Intica-ProMRI_mul.fm Page 16 Friday, November 6, 2015 8:13 PM
