Reset your password and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA)


For ANZCTR account holders: to help ensure the cyber safety of your account, you’ll need to reset your password and set-up multi-factor authentication (MFA) as per the instructions below.


  1. Go to the Login page, click ‘reset password’ and follow the instructions.
  2. Check your email for the link to set a new password.
  3. Create a new password that meets requirements. New passwords must include at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one number and one special character (e.g. !#$%&@).
  4. Return to the Login page and enter your new password. A verification code will be sent to your email.
  5. Check your email for the code and enter it on the Login page. If the code is entered incorrectly, you can re-enter the correct one or request a new one.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
Sentus QP Related Complication-free Rate Through 6 Months
Assessment method [1] 0 0
The purpose of primary endpoint 1 is to evaluate the Sentus QP related complication-free rate through 6 months post-implant. This is evaluated as a percentage of participants without a complication.
Timepoint [1] 0 0
6 months
Primary outcome [2] 0 0
Percentage of Participants With Acceptable Pacing Threshold of Sentus QP Lead in Permanently Programmed Vector at 3 Months
Assessment method [2] 0 0
The purpose of primary endpoint 2 is to evaluate the LV lead pacing threshold for the permanently programmed pacing vector at 3 months post-implant.This was evaluated by performing an exact, binomial test comparing the percentage of participants with acceptable pacing thresholds to a performance goal of 88%. LV threshold values of less than or equal to 2.5 V at 0.4 ms in the permanently programmed vector are considered acceptable.
Timepoint [2] 0 0
3 months
Primary outcome [3] 0 0
Sentus QP Related Complication-free Rate
Assessment method [3] 0 0
The purpose of primary endpoint 3 is to evaluate the Sentus QP related complication-free rate through study termination (post approval phase). This is evaluated as a percentage of participants without a complication.
Timepoint [3] 0 0
Up to 4 years
Secondary outcome [1] 0 0
Sentus QP Acceptable Pacing Threshold in Permanently Programmed Vector at 3 Months Per Lead Model
Assessment method [1] 0 0
The purpose of the secondary endpoint is to evaluate the LV lead pacing threshold for the permanently programmed pacing vector at 3 months post-implantation in the two different lead types, Sentus OTW QP L and Sentus OTW QP S. This was evaluated as the number of participants with an acceptable pacing threshold out of the total number of patients for each lead model. LV threshold values of less than or equal to 2.5 V at 0.4 ms in the permanently programmed vector is considered acceptable.
Timepoint [1] 0 0
3 months
Secondary outcome [2] 0 0
Sentus QP Acceptable Pacing Threshold in Novel Vectors at 3 Months
Assessment method [2] 0 0
The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate the number of participants with at least one acceptable LV lead pacing threshold in a novel pacing vector at 3 months post-implantation. This was evaluated as the number of participants with at least one acceptable LV pacing threshold in a novel pacing vector out of the total number of participants with completed novel pacing threshold testing. LV threshold values of less than or equal to 2.5 V at 0.4 ms in a novel pacing vector is considered acceptable.

Secondary outcome [3] 0 0
Sentus QP Acceptable R-wave Sensed Amplitude at 3 Months Per Lead Model
Assessment method [3] 0 0
The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate acceptable LV lead sensing amplitude at 3 months post-implantation. This was evaluated as the number of participants with an acceptable LV sensing amplitude out of the total number of participants. R-wave sensed mean amplitude of greater than or equal to 2 mV is considered acceptable.
Timepoint [3] 0 0

Secondary outcome [4] 0 0
Sentus QP Acceptable Pacing Impedance at 3 Months Per Lead Model
Assessment method [4] 0 0
The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate the acceptable LV lead pacing impedance at 3 months post-implantation. This was evaluated as the number of participants with an acceptable LV pacing impedance out of the total participants. LV impedance values of greater than 200 Ohms and less than 2000 Ohms is considered acceptable.

Individual Sentus QP Adverse Event Rates
Assessment method [7] 0 0
The purpose of secondary endpoint 8 is to evaluate the rate of individual types of adverse events related to the Sentus QP lead through study termination (post approval phase). This is evaluated as the percentage of participants with a specific adverse event out of the total participants.
Timepoint [7] 0 0
Up to 4 years
Secondary outcome [8] 0 0
Number of Participants Successfully Reprogrammed to Resolve Phrenic Nerve Stimulation or High Pacing Threshold
Assessment method [8] 0 0
The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate the number of participants in whom phrenic nerve stimulation or high LV pacing threshold was be successfully resolved by reprogramming of the LV pacing vector. This is evaluated as the number of participants with successful reprogramming out of all participants experiencing phrenic nerve stimulation or high LV pacing threshold. LV pacing threshold resulting in invasive intervention, or, in the absence of intervention, a lead threshold that has increased two fold from the chronic threshold value, and is unable to achieve a 2:1 safety margin at follow-up is considered a high LV pacing threshold.
