Implants for surgery - Active implantable medical devices - Part 6: Particular requirements for active implantable medical devices intended to treat tachyarrhythmia (including implantable defibrillators) (ISO/FDIS 14708-6:2019)
This document specifies requirements that are applicable to implantable cardioverter defibrillators and CRT-Ds and the functions of active implantable medical devices intended to treat tachyarrhythmia.
The tests that are specified in ISO 14708 are type tests and are to be carried out on samples of a device to show compliance.
This document was designed for tachyarrhythmia pulse generators used with either endocardial leads or epicardial leads. At the time of this edition, the authors recognized the emergence of technologies that do not use endocardial or epicardial leads for which adaptations of this part will be required. Such adaptations are left to the discretion of manufacturers incorporating these technologies.
This document is also applicable to some non-implantable parts and accessories of the devices (see Note 1).
The characteristics of the implantable pulse generator or lead shall be determined by either the appropriate method detailed in this document or by any other method demonstrated to have accuracy equal to, or better than, the method specified. In the case of dispute, the method detailed in this document shall apply.
Any aspect of an active implantable medical device intended to treat bradyarrhythmias or cardiac resynchronization is covered by ISO 14708-2.
NOTE 1 The device that is commonly referred to as an active implantable medical device can in fact be a single device, a combination of devices, or a combination of a device or devices and one or more accessories. Not all of these parts are required to be either partially or totally implantable, but there is a need to specify some requirements of non-implantable parts and accessories if they could affect the safety or performance of the implantable device.
NOTE 2 In this document, terms printed in italics are used as defined in Clause 3. Where a defined term is used as a qualifier in another term, it is not printed in italics unless the concept thus qualified is also defined.

73 Foreword
74 ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
75 standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
76 carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a
77 technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
78 International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
79 the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
80 matters of electrotechnical standardization.81 The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
82 described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
83 different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
84 editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives85 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
86 patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
87 any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
88 on the ISO list of patent declarations received. www.iso.org/patents89 Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

92 SC 6, Active implants.93 A list of all parts in the ISO 14708 series can be found on the ISO website.
94 NOTE The attention of Member Bodies is drawn to the fact that equipment MANUFACTURERS and testing
95 organizations might need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended, or revised ISO
96 publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip them for
97 conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication
98 not be adopted for mandatory implementation nationally earlier than three years from the date of publication.

99 Introduction
100 This document specifies particular requirements for IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS and the
101 functions of ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES intended to treat tachyarrhythmia, to provide basic
102 assurance of safety for both patients and users.103 An external defibrillator is a MEDICAL DEVICE used, in the emergency setting, to deliver a high-energy
104 shock to the heart, by means of ELECTRODEs applied to the external chest wall, in patients suffering
105 ventricular fibrillation (a rapid, disorganized and potentially lethal heart rhythm abnormality), to
106 restore normal heart action. External defibrillators can also be used, in emergency or elective settings,
107 to terminate other ventricular or atrial tachyarrhythmias by delivery of a high-energy shock,
108 synchronized to the intrinsic cardiac rhythm, a procedure known as CARDIOVERSION. In patients known
109 to be at RISK of such arrhythmias, due to the occurrence of previous episodes or the presence of specific
110 predisposing cardiac conditions, an IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR might be implanted to
111 perform similar functions. The implantable device, which is much smaller than an external defibrillator,
112 is contained within a sealed, encapsulating enclosure. It generates high voltage PULSES from an enclosed,
113 miniature, electrical battery. The PULSES are transmitted to the heart by means of implanted, insulated
114 conductors with ELECTRODEs (LEADS). The IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR can also incorporate
115 other sensing and pacing functions, such as rate support for bradycardia and ANTITACHYCARDIA PACING
116 (ATP) to terminate certain tachyarrhythmias without the need of a high-energy shock. The defibrillator
117 can be adjusted non-invasively by means of an electronic device, known as a programmer.
118 In recent years, other active implantable cardiovascular devices have emerged, most notably devices
119 that perform the function of improving cardiac output by optimizing ventricular synchrony, in addition
120 to performing ICD functions.121 Although these devices can deliver an additional therapy with respect to ICD devices, most of their
122 requirements are similar so that, in most cases, the concepts that apply to ICDs also apply to CRT-D
123 devices, and the appropriate way to test a CRT-D device is similar to the way ICDs are tested.
124 This document is relevant to all parts of ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES intended to treat
125 tachyarrhythmia other than pacing functions to control bradyarrhythmia or provide cardiac
126 resynchronization. Typical examples are IMPLANTABLE PULSE GENERATORs, LEADS, ADAPTORS, ACCESSORIES,
127 programmers and the related software (bradyarrhythmia and cardiac resynchronization pacing
128 functions are dealt with in ISO 14708-2).129 The requirements of this document supplement or modify those of ISO 14708-1, Implants for surgery —
130 Active implantable medical devices — Part 1: General requirements for safety, marking and for
131 information to be provided by the manufacturer, hereinafter referred to as ISO 14708-1. The
132 requirements of this document take priority over those of ISO 14708-1.133 Figures or tables that are additional to those of ISO 14708-1 are numbered starting from 101.

140 1 Scope
141 This document specifies requirements that are applicable to IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATORS
142 AND CRT-DS and the functions of ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES intended to treat tachyarrhythmia.
143 The tests that are specified in ISO 14708 are type tests and are to be carried out on samples of a device to
144 show compliance.145 This document was designed for tachyarrhythmia PULSE generators used with either endocardial or
146 epicardial LEADs. At the time of this edition, the authors recognized the emergence of technologies that
147 do not use ENDOCARDIAL or EPICARDIAL LEADS for which adaptations of this part will be required. Such
148 adaptations are left to the discretion of MANUFACTURERS incorporating these technologies.
149 This document is also applicable to some non-implantable parts and accessories of the devices (see
150 Note 1).151 The characteristics of the IMPLANTABLE PULSE GENERATOR or LEAD shall be determined by either the
152 appropriate method detailed in this document or by any other method demonstrated to have accuracy
153 equal to, or better than, the method specified. In the case of dispute, the method detailed in this
154 document shall apply.155 Any aspect of an ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE intended to treat bradyarrhythmias or cardiac
156 resynchronization is covered by ISO 14708-2.157 NOTE 1 The device that is commonly referred to as an ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE might in fact be a single
158 device, a combination of devices, or a combination of a device or devices and one or more accessories. Not all of
159 these parts are required to be either partially or totally implantable, but there is a need to specify some
160 requirements of non-implantable parts and accessories if they could affect the safety or performance of the
161 implantable device.162 NOTE 2 The terminology used in this European Standard is intended to be consistent with the terminology of
163 Directive 90/385/EEC.164 NOTE 3 In this document, terms printed in small capital letters are used as defined in Clause 3. Where a defined
165 term is used as a qualifier in another term, it is not printed in small capital letters unless the concept thus qualified
166 is also defined.167 NOTE 4 Particular requirements for congestive heart failure devices are under consideration. These types of
168 devices are not covered by this document.169 2 Normative references
