          This document presents the results of tests performed on two SORIN PLATINIUM
          Implantable Medical Devices (IMD) to prove that all models are excluded of SAR
          evaluation.

          The PLATINIUM IS4 Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator is compliant according to FCC
          part 95I standards.

 Hereafter is the list of models name and FCC ID:

3.      SORIN PLATINIUM IMD

3.1.    GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM


         The purpose of the paragraph is to provide a high-level description of the structure and
         operation of the following sub-systems of Sorin Remote Monitoring System: the Smartview
         Monitor and the Implantable Medical Device.

         The Smartview Monitor (SM) is intended to collect patient’s clinical data from an
         Implantable Medical Device (IMD) and transfer them to data management system (Back
         Office server).

         The IMD is implanted into the patient’s body. The Smartview Monitor is installed at patient
         home and is intended to collect data from the IMD remotely in absence of physician
         according to scheduled operation.




         The Implantable Medical Device uses two wireless RF bands:

                 ISM band (2.45 GHz) for communication initialization (implant wake-up) receiver
                  only

                 MedRadio (402-405 MHz) band for data transfer Implantable Medical Device (IMD)
                  and transfer them to data management system (Back Office server).

       3.2.     GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL
                DEVICE


                  PLATINIUM 4LV IMD is declined in 2 models:

                                                Models

                                            SonR CRT-D 1844



                  All models are an implantable cardioverter defibrillator for the recognition and treatment of
                  ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, with ventricular resynchronization, in patients with
                  spontaneous or inducible tachyarrhythmias.
                  Each IMD is equipped with an accelerometer to allow adaptation of pacing to suit the
                  patient’s activity, and provide high energy shocks (42 J) for enhanced safety, as well as
                  automatic lead measurements to monitor system integrity.

     4.2.1 RUNNING MODE

        The EUT is set in the following mode during tests:

        - Continued transmission with modulation on an assigned channel at the highest power



     4.2.2 TEST CONDITIONS

        Test performed by                          : Stéphane PHOUDIAH

            With a test fixture

        -Spectrum analyzer setup detail:

           The spectrum analyzer marker peak function is used to find the maximum RF conducted output
           power.

           Since all models use the same RF circuit and have identical RF characteristics (such as output
           power, Tx frequencies and modulations…etc) the tests were performed directly on one identical
           representative RF circuits mounted on SORIN workbench (note: SORIN workbench is a special
           test fixture provided by SORIN for controlling the testing mode and access to the EUT RF port for
           SORIN Implantable Medical Devices series and as shown below in the picture)

        4.2.4 THE ACCESS POINT FOR THESE RF MEASUREMENTS

             All two models are using the same architecture: Battery, Capacitor and RF hardware. The only
             difference is the dimension of the antenna and the numbers of leads.
             The hardware components are soldered on flex PCB. The flex PCB is folded and integrated in the
             IMD. Therefore testing one representative RF circuit is enough to cover all 8 modules’ RF
             conducted characteristics.

               RF feedthrough connection                               RF feedthrough connection



      Above figures show RF feedthrough pads on PCB for antenna connection and all RF traces on the
      PCB were designed for standard 50 ohm system. For reliable RF measurements, SORIN has
      installed a UFL connector directly on the antenna contact point for us to verify the actual RF output
      power to the antenna. The above setup pictures also show that the measurement system uses 50
      ohm coaxial cable for connecting the EUT to spectrum analyzer. Therefore, the load impedance
      seen by the EUT (Equipment Under Test) is at optimum 50 ohm for max power output and cable
      loss has been considered and added back to the reading.

5.     CONCLUSION

        Since the test results, as reported in the previous section, demonstrate that both conducted
        and EIRP power plus 0.5dB tuneup tolerance are less than 1 mW, we would like to request
        FCC to grant SAR test exemption to all 8 of these applications according to FCC KDB
        447498 section 4.2.4, as reprinted below. Thank you.



        FCC:
        KDB 447498 section 4.2.4:
        4.2.4. Transmitters implanted in the body of a user
        When the aggregate of the maximum power available at the antenna port and radiating
        structures of an implanted transmitter, under all operating circumstances, is ≤ 1.0 mW,
        SAR test exclusion may be applied. The maximum available output power requirement and
        worst case operating conditions must be supported by power measurement results and
        fully justified in a SAR analysis report, in lieu of the SAR measurement or numerical
        simulation, according to design and implementation requirements of the device.
