    Medtronic Consulta CRT-D, model D224TRK and Model D234TRK not available in the US. Digital implantable cardioverter defibrillator with cardiac resynchronization therapy (DDE-DDDR). Sterilized using ethylene oxide. Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN 55432 USA. Manufactured in: Juncos, Puerto Rico, USA. The Dual chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) is a multiprogrammable cardiac device that monitors and regulates the patient's heart rate by providing single or dual chamber rate-responsive bradycardia pacing, sequential biventricular pacing, ventricular tachyarrhythmia therapies, and atrial tachyarrhythmia therapies. The device automatically detects ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT/VF) and provides treatment with defibrillation, cardioversion, and antitachycardia pacing therapies. The device also automatically detects atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT/AF) and provides treatment with cardioversion and antitachycardia pacing therapies. Simultaneous or sequential biventricular pacing is used to provide patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy. The device responds to bradyarrhythmias by providing bradycardia pacing therapies.
