ICD Defibrillators
Secura® DR and VR ICD defibrillators for tachycardia therapy are part of the Vision 3D™ Portfolio and include Complete Capture Management™ and OptiVol® Fluid Status Monitoring for predicting worsening heart failure.
Vision 3D Fundamentals
Vision 3D Portfolio for Individual Patient Needs

Vision 3D™ Fundamentals are the foundation of the Vision 3D Portfolio, a comprehensive family of ICD defibrillators and biventricular devices to meet your individual patient's therapy goals.
Vision 3D Fundamentals include:
- Proven cardioverter shock reduction and atrial therapy1
- Dual chamber managed ventricular pacing2
- Industry-leading diagnostics and reporting such as Cardiac Compass®
- Medtronic Conexus® wireless remote cardiac telemetry, part of Medtronic CareLink® Network

Secura ICD Defibrillators -
Proven Solutions for Tachycardia Therapy
The first and only completely automatic, wireless ICD defibrillators to combine industry-leading pacing, wireless remote cardiac telemetry, and ICD defibrillator exclusives:
- ATP During Charging reduces cardioverter shocks1
- Managed Ventricular Pacing (MVP®) reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation and heart failure hospitalization2
- OptiVol® Fluid Status Monitoring shows heart failure congestion and pleural effusion
- Complete Capture Management™ ensures pacemaker capture in all heart chambers1
Important Safety Information
Changes in a patient’s disease and/or medications may alter the efficacy of a device’s programmed parameters or related features.
Completely Automatic – Complete Capture Management
Secura ICD defibrillators include Complete Capture Management which:
- Ensures capture in all heart chambers – atrial capture management, left ventricular capture management, and right ventricular capture management
- Provides a daily complete device check – automatically:
- Lead impedance
- Battery status
- All-chamber threshold evaluation
- Sensing amplitudes
- Eliminates the need for manual threshold checks, freeing time for your clinic patients
- Adapts therapies automatically to changing patient needs
Timely, Efficient Follow-up With Wireless Remote Cardiac Telemetry
The same in-depth device information as an office visit:
- Identify and assess problems sooner with remote cardiac telemetry follow-up via Medtronic CareLink® Network
- Receive physician-selected critical data automatically and wirelessly without patient intervention, through CareAlert® Notifications
Programming flexibility reduces risks for patients
Programmable Options Provide Noninvasive Solutions for
Complex Cases
- Choose a different vector to resolve sensing issues that may lead to unnecessary cardioverter shocks using programmable RV sensing
- Avoid surgical intervention and enhance safety for your patients with high DFTs using Programmable SVC and Active Can®
