Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Primary Safety Endpoint is to Evaluate the System-related Complication-free Rate [3 months]

    Safety of the AUTOGEN was evaluated by the system-related complication-free rate (CFR) at 3-months post-implant. The system consists of the implanted AUTOGEN CRT-D pulse generator, RA lead (if implanted), RV lead, and LV lead.

  2. The Accuracy of the RVAT Commanded Test Will be Evaluated by Comparing the RVAT Determined Threshold to a Core Lab (Independent Physician) Determined Threshold. [1-month and 3-month follow-up visits]

    Accuracy of the algorithm will be measured for all patients, by comparing algorithm determined threshold to a core lab determined threshold at both the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits. The RVAT determined threshold for all patients at 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits are pooled for final analysis. An accurate commanded threshold is defined by: |commanded threshold - core lab determined threshold| ≤ 0.2 V; if the commanded threshold is ≤ 3.5V or |commanded threshold - core lab determined threshold| ≤ 0.5 V; if the commanded threshold is > 3.5V. Subjects were allowed to contribute multiple paired datasets for this endpoint analysis, one set each from the 1-month and 3-month visits. Paired datasets from the 1-month and 3-month visits were pooled for the purpose of this endpoint analysis.

  3. The Accuracy of the LVAT Commanded Test Will be Evaluated by Comparing the LVAT Determined Threshold to a Core Lab (Independent Physician) Determined Threshold. [1-month and 3-month follow up visits]

    Accuracy of the algorithm will be measured for all patients, by comparing algorithm determined threshold to a core lab determined threshold at both the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits. The LVAT determined threshold for all patients at 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits are pooled for final analysis. An accurate commanded threshold is defined by: commanded threshold - core lab determined threshold| ≤ 0.2 V; if the commanded threshold is ≤ 3.5V or |commanded threshold - core lab determined threshold| ≤ 0.5 V; if the commanded threshold is > 3.5V. Paired datasets from the 1-month and 3-month visits were pooled for the purpose of this endpoint analysis. Subjects were allowed to contribute multiple paired datasets for this endpoint analysis, one set each from the 1-month and 3-month visits. Paired datasets from the 1-month and 3-month visits were pooled for the purpose of this endpoint analysis.

  4. The Accuracy of the RVAT Ambulatory Test Will be Evaluated by Comparing the RVAT Determined Threshold to a Core Lab (Independent Physician) Determined Threshold [1-month and 3-month follow up visits]

    Accuracy of the algorithm will be measured for all patients, by comparing algorithm determined threshold to a core lab determined threshold at both the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits.The RVAT determined threshold for all patients at 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits are pooled for final analysis. An accurate Ambulatory threshold is defined by:|Ambulatory threshold - ECG threshold| ≤ 0.6 V; if the ECG threshold is ≤ 3.5V or |Ambulatory threshold - ECG threshold| ≤ 1.0 V; if the ECG threshold is > 3.5V. Subjects were allowed to contribute multiple paired datasets for this endpoint analysis, one set each from the 1-month and 3-month visits. Paired datasets form the 1-month and 3-month visits were pooled for purposes of endpoint analysis.

  5. The Accuracy of the LVAT Ambulatory Test Will be Evaluated by Comparing the LVAT Determined Threshold to a Core Lab (Independent Physician) Determined Threshold [1-month and 3-month follow up visits]

    Accuracy of the algorithm will be measured for all patients, by comparing algorithm determined threshold to a core lab determined threshold at both the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits. The LVAT determined threshold for all patients at 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits are pooled for final analysis. An accurate Ambulatory threshold is defined by: |Ambulatory threshold - ECG threshold| ≤ 1.0 V. Paired datasets from the 1-month and 3-month visits were pooled for the purpose of this endpoint analysis. Subjects were allowed to contribute multiple paired datasets for this endpoint analysis, one set each from the 1-month and 3-month visits. Paired datasets form the 1-month and 3-month visits were pooled for purposes of endpoint analysis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. RVAT Secondary Efficacy Endpoint: The Percent of RVAT Commanded Tests That Result in an Appropriate Outcome [3-month follow up visit]

    This endpoint will evaluate the percent of RVAT commanded tests that result in an appropriate outcome. There are three possible outcomes to a commanded test: A device-determined threshold A threshold test code (indicating that a threshold could not be determined) representing an error condition that is beyond the control of the RVAT feature and could occur in the manual threshold tests A threshold test code (indicating that a threshold could not be determined) that was due to a limitation of the RVAT feature and might not occur in manual threshold tests An appropriate RVAT outcome consists of the first two outcomes listed above: a device-determined threshold and a threshold test code representing an error condition that is beyond the control of the RVAT feature and could occur in the manual threshold tests. An inappropriate RVAT outcome consists of the last of the three outcomes listed above.

  2. LVAT Secondary Efficacy Endpoint: The Percent of LVAT Commanded Tests That Result in an Appropriate Outcome [3-month follow up visit]

NOTE: women of childbearing potential with an uncertain pregnancy status must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment. Pregnancy tests are required as part of standard routing clinical practice at all centers whenever female patients are exposed to x-ray radiation. Since this protocol does not require any exposure of the female patients to x-ray and x-ray exposure is part of the clinical procedure, it is the responsibility of the investigators to ensure that pregnant females will not be exposed to x-ray at any time
