Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and document appropriate clinical performance of the new 4-SITE Header / Lead interface in the TELIGEN 100 HE 4-SITE (VR and DR) implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) PGs (Models F103; F111), the COGNIS 100 HE 4-SITE cardiac resynchronization therapy ICD (CRT-D) PG (Model P108) when connected to any of the RELIANCE Quadripolar (4-SITE) defibrillation leads.
Appropriate clinical performance of system components of the 4-SITE systems other than the new 4-SITE header / lead interface has been evaluated and documented already in the previously conducted COGNIS and TELIGEN 100 HE FIELD FOLLOWING STUDY, The COGENT-4 Field Following Study.
Data collected may be used to support international regulatory submissions including the FDA and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Appropriate induced VT/VF Shock Conversion
Time Frame: At Implant or during testing within one month after implant
Successful VT/VF conversions (with 41 J, no external shock) will be 93% or higher
Appropriate sensing and absence of artefacts
Time Frame: entire duration of study
Appropriate sensing and absence of artefacts during standardized pocket manipulations and standardized provocative maneuvers during FU
Appropriate Detection of induced VT
Time Frame: At Implant or during VT/VF testing up to one month after implant
Induced mean VT/VF detection time \< 4.5 seconds
Appropriate pacing thresholds at follow-up with the 4-SITE defibrillation leads
Time Frame: entire duration of the study
Mean pacing threshold post implant ≤ 1.5V
Appropriate Lead Impedances as a measure of lead integrity over 12 month time
Time Frame: entire study duration
* Shocking lead impedance should be within the range of 20 and 80 OHM * Pace /sense lead impedance within 200 and 2000 OHM
