Safety Results
The 180-day Type I complication-free rate was assessed in all patients with an attempted S-ICD System implant (N=321) for 
the primary safety endpoint.  A Type I complication was defined as any clinical event caused by the S-ICD System that required 
invasive intervention.
The Type I complication-free rate at 180 days was 99.0% with a lower 95% confidence bound of 97.9%.  These results meet 
the primary safety endpoint performance goal of 79% and demonstrate the safety of the S-ICD System.  Details of the Kaplan-
Meier analysis are shown in Figure 2 and Table 5.
