FDA classification definition

Permanent defibrillator electrodes are used with compatible implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac rhythm therapy-defibrillators (CRT-D) to sense the cardiac rhythm and to deliver high energy therapy to the heart when tachycardia is detected. Some transvenous models can also be used for pacing the right ventricle.
