Patient Safety Enhancements

DynamicTx Over-current Detection Algorithm

DynamicTx™ over-current detection algorithm feature provides the opportunity for devices to deliver a shock, and possibly terminate a VT/VF episode, even in the presence of a compromised lead.

• Checks for compromised vector integrity
• Attempts to find a viable configuration to deliver high voltage therapy, while avoiding a problematic vector

TailoredTherapy Features

Our exclusive, customizable TailoredTherapy™ features allow you to individually adjust programming to meet the unique needs of each patient, delivering precise therapy for each patient, every time. These innovative features include:

• DeFT Response™ technology
• Complete capture confirmation
• Automatic pacing outputs, periodically measured and adjusted, for optimal therapy delivery in every chamber of the heart

Building Comprehensive Cardiac Arrhythmia Management

The Fortify Assura ICD is part of our cardiac arrhythmia management portfolio. Our vision is to transform the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias by designing cost-saving technologies that improve therapy outcomes.
