The FDA has the authority to require sponsors to perform a post-approval study (or studies) at the time of approval of a premarket approval (PMA), humanitarian device exemption (HDE), or product development protocol (PDP) application. Post-approval studies can provide patients, health care professionals, the device industry, the FDA and other stakeholders information on the continued safety and effectiveness (or continued probable benefit, in the case of an HDE) of approved medical devices. This database allows you to search Post-Approval Study information by applicant or device information.

Study Population Adolescent: 13-18 yrs, Transit. Adolescent B (as adults) : 18-21 yrs, Adult: >21
Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives prospective, non-randomized, multi-center registry
Study Population The study population will consist of patients who: were successfully implanted with the ACUITY Spiral Lead, meet the study criteria.
Sample Size 1,700 patients, 150 sites
Key Study Endpoints Chronic LV lead-related complication-free rate over a five year follow- up period
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up Patients will be followed until they have completed five years of
follow-up from implant or until death, withdrawal, or closure of the registry.
Patients will have an in-clinic follow-up visit one month (15 to 29
days) post implant and then subsequently be followed according to the center¿s standard follow-up schedule, with complete in-clinic system interrogation recommended to be at least once every six months.
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 1308 subjects (out of the required 1700 subjects)
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 94 sites
Patient Follow-up Rate 57.3%
Final Safety Findings he one-sided 95% confidence-interval lower bounds for the mean values of the modified complication-free rate (CFR) for the following five different time points are well above the acceptance boundary of 92.5%, as given in Table below.

Interval (Years from implant)
Statistic 1 2 3 4 5
Mean % Free from Adverse Events 96.8 96.3 96.1 95.7 95.3
Lower One-Sided 95% Confidence Limit 95.9 95.3 95 94.5 94
None of the deaths were reported as LV lead-related. The final death rate per year is 7.23%.
Final Effect Findings Percentages of patients with out-of-bound measurements are as follows: a voltage threshold (9%), pulse width (2%), pacing impedance (0%, 1 patient with pacing impedance >= 2000 ohms), and sensing amplitude out of performance standards bounds (11%) cumulatively. The 60-month occurrence rates of out-of-bound measurements are the voltage threshold (1%, >3.5V), pulse width (0%, energy output
>0.5), pacing impedance (0%, >= 2000 ohms), and sensing amplitude (1%, <= 3mV).
Study Strengths & Weaknesses The study strengths are 1) the high modified CFR of 95.3% and its lower bound of 94% and 2) the low occurrence rates of out-of-range measurements as listed above for the final effectiveness findings. The study weakness is that only a total of 436 subjects were followed, which is smaller than the minimum 500-subject requirement often seen in other PAS’s for leads.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes Inclusion of 1) the 5-year modified CFR and corresponding 95% one-sided confidence interval; and 2) a summary of adverse events that were and were not counted towards the 5-year modified CFR along with a clarification on intervention methods (non-invasive vs. invasive).
