Battery chemistry originally developed at Greatbatch, Inc. 98% of ICDs use SVO as the high rate battery due to its combination of: High rate capability enabling faster charge times High capacity enabling longer device lifetimes Stepped discharge profile enabling easier end-of-life detection Battery function in ICD Monitor circuitry on continuous basis Charge high voltage capacitors in less than 15 seconds
15
Our next generation of battery that combines the advantages of two distinct cathode materials via an innovative electrode design
SVO: Low energy density but high rate capability CFx: High energy density but low rate capability
Qseries battery technology is the best implantable battery technology available today.
Technology protected by IP 5 years of real-time data
