From Boston Scientific
The minimally invasive S-ICD is prescribed for use in patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The system is unique in that the implantation of the system is entirely subcutaneous - no leads are placed in or on the heart. Additionally, no imaging equipment is required for placement of the S-ICD, as all of the components may be positioned using anatomical landmarks, the company said.
The device gained FDA approval in 2012.
Boston Scientific inherited the device when it bought out medical device manufacturer Cameron Health in summer 2012.
