- Including Normal Battery Depletion – This curve includes devices that have reached at least 80% of expected longevity. This curve is most representative of clinical performance and how long the device will last.
- Excluding Normal Battery Depletion – This is the malfunction free survival curve.

EOS Indication
The Prolonged Service Period (PSP) is the time between the RRT and EOS. The PSP is defined as 3 months assuming the following conditions: 100% VVI pacing at 60 min-1, 2.5 V RV pacing amplitude; 0.4 ms pulse width; 600 Ω pacing load; and 6 full-energy charges. The EOS may be indicated before the end of 3 months if the device exceeds these conditions.
