6. Subject has an active infection or has been treated for infection within the past 30 days.

7. Subject that, in the opinion of the investigator, has an increased risk of infection.

8. Subject is currently requiring/receiving dialysis.

9. Subject has insulin-dependent diabetes.

10. Subject had/has any prior or planned other surgical procedure within ±30 days of enrollment.

11. Subject that, in the opinion of the investigator, has an increased risk for thromboembolic event.

Intervention

Device:
• commercially released subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) and the Investigational S-ICD Adapter.
The S-ICD System is a Subcutaneous (under the skin) Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator for people who are at risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. A new electrode configuration will be tested for Defibrillation testing ( DFT). The unit of measure will be in Joules. VF will be induced and the device will deliver a shock at a certain defined energy level as described in the protocol

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Measure defibrillation threshold defibrillation threshold (DFT) of the new shock electrode configuration in Joules	The primary objective of this acute feasibility study is to measure the defibrillation threshold (DFT) of the new shock electrode configuration with an S-ICD system.The unit of measure will be in Joules. VF will be induced and the device will deliver a shock at a certain defined energy level as described in the protocol	Acute- During the implant procedure
Secondary	Conversion succes of the new electrode configuration	The secondary objective is to assess the conversion success of the new electrode configuration to convert VF. The unit of measure will be in Joules. VF will be induced and the device will deliver a shock at a certain defined energy level as described in the protocol	Acute- During the implant procedure
