Longevity Information

Pulse Generator Expectancy Estimation (Implant to Explant) with EnduraLife Battery (All Models)

EnduraLife Battery Technology provides clinically proven, industry-leading projected longevity1-10. The following tables represent sample pulse generator life expectancy estimation (implant to explant) with EnduraLife battery as provided in product labeling. For specific programmable parameter ranges, refer to product labeling at www.bostonscientific.com/manuals, or contact Boston Scientific technical services or your local representative.

• Assumes 70 PPM LRL; DDDR mode; 0.4 ms Pulse Width (RA, RV); sensors On, Heart Failure Sensor Suite On.
• Projected longevity is calculated assuming 2 maximum energy charging cycles per year, including automatic capacitor re-forms and therapeutic shocks. These calculations also assume 3-channel EGM Onset is on and that the pulse generator spends 3 months in Storage mode during shipping and storage.

a. Assumes ZIP telemetry use for 2 hours at implant and for 40 minutes annually for in-clinic follow-up checks.

b. Assumes standard use of the LATITUDE™ Communicator as follows: Daily Device Check on, quarterly scheduled remote follow ups, and other typical interrogations.

c. Assumes LATITUDE™ Communicator is not used, Respiratory Sensor is Off, and Heart Failure Sensor Suite is Off.

Additional Longevity Information

• Boston Scientific devices have corporate warranties at 10 years (VR) and 8 years (DR) in available geographies. Warranty information available at www.bostonscientific.com/warranty.
• Devices use Li/MnO2 chemistry.
• The Usable Battery Capacity is 1.9 Amp-hours (typical implant to battery capacity depleted).
• Shelf life is 2 years (before use by).

Device Longevity in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators Differs Between Manufacturers: Data from the Danish ICD Registry. Presented at HRS 2014. https://ondemand.hrsonline.org/common/presentation-detail.aspx/15/35/1241/9000. Boston Scientific = 136 patients, Medtronic = 651 patients, St. Jude Medical = 1,587 patients, Bitronik = 369 patients. Time to exchange of the device because of battery depletion or device failure recorded in the Danish ICD Registry was the endpoint. The four-year survival rate for devices in the Danish Registry study was 81.1% for Medtronic and 95.7% for Boston Scientific (P<0.01).
