CONTAK RENEWAL 3 (Models H170), Guidant CONTAK RENEWAL 3 HE (Models H177, H179). Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D). These CRT-Ds provide ventricular tachyarrhythmia and cardiac resynchronization therapies. Ventricular tachyarrhythmia therapy is for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), rhythms that are associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). Cardiac resynchronization therapy is for the treatment of heart failure (HF) and uses biventricular electrical stimulation to synchronize ventricular contractions. Cardioversion/defibrillation therapies include a range of low- and high-energy shocks using either a biphasic or monophasic waveform. Sterile EO.
