Summary
Brief summary
Primary objective is to evaluate the safety and performance of the implanted Subcutaneous
implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) system. A maximum of 10 subjects were to be
enrolled and followed for one month to collect data on the safety, efficacy, and performance
of the implanted S-ICD system. Additionally, patient comfort will be assessed as will
cosmetic outcome.
