The overall conversion rate <strong>and</strong> the conversion rates for each therapy<br />
are comparable to the conversion rates observed in the TACT study,<br />
demonstrating that the Tupos LV⁄ATx device has similar atrial conversion<br />
capabilities as the legally marketed Tachos DR – Atrial Tx ICD.<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> Secondary Endpoint 2 is to evaluate VT (ventricular<br />
tachycardia) <strong>and</strong> VF (ventricular fibrillation) detection times <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Tupos LV⁄ATx. This is a measure <strong>of</strong> the ability <strong>of</strong> the ventricular detection<br />
algorithm to detect VT <strong>and</strong> VF in an appropriate time frame. This<br />
endpoint was evaluated based on the review <strong>of</strong> electrograms following<br />
induced VT⁄VF episodes. A comparison <strong>of</strong> data from the TACT study that<br />
utilized the legally marketed Tachos DR – Atrial Tx ICD (P000009⁄S4,<br />
dated 09‐09‐2002) to data collected during the OPTION study for the<br />
Tupos LV⁄ATx was performed.<br />
Table 13 summarizes <strong>and</strong> compares the results from these two clinical<br />
studies.
