Storage location
• Devices are not to be stored close to magnets or sources of electromagnetic inter-
ference.
Implantation
Sterility
Delivery
The device and the accessories have been gas sterilized. Sterility is guaranteed only if
the plastic container and quality control seal have not been damaged.
Sterile container
The device and accessories are packaged respectively in two separately sealed plastic
containers. The inner plastic container is also sterile on the outside so that it can be
transferred in a sterile state during implantation.
Preparing the Implantation
Having the required parts ready
Note: Ensure that sterile spare parts are available for all parts that are to be
implanted.

tions. Should you have questions about the compatibility of other manufacturers' ICD
leads, please contact BIOTRONIK.
W WARNING
Short circuit due to open lead connections
Open – and thus not electrolyte-proof – IS-1 or DF-1 connections may cause undes-
ired current flows to the body and penetration of body fluid into the device.
