The AnalyST Accel ™ ICD features capture confirmation, extended VIP™ programming and AT/AF alerts that allow physicians to tailor therapy to meet changing patient needs. Proven with over 100,000 retrieved electrogram segments,1 the device provides unmatched insight into clinical events with ST deviation trending, histograms and ST episode report logs to potentially understand the relationship between ST segment changes and VT/VF episodes. This helps ensure delivery of the right therapy at the right time and enables timely, remote patient follow-up for potentially safer, more efficient patient care.
