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).
