Subjects will have a 1-month follow-up after the study MRI scan. The minimum duration of each subject's participation is approximately 2.5 months from enrollment. The expected duration of enrollment is approximately 14 months. The total duration of clinical study is expected to be 16.5 months.~The study population includes male and female Chinese nationals that meet the eligibility requirements and give consent for the study. Vulnerable subjects, such as minors or those unable to provide consent are excluded from participating.~Inclusion criteria~Assessment for general eligibility criteria is based on medical records of the site and interview with a candidate patient. If some of the clinical and laboratory tests are not included in site standard tests, they must be done but after written informed consent is obtained. Patients must meet ALL the inclusion criteria to be considered for the clinical study. If ANY of the exclusion criteria are met, the patient is excluded from the clinical study and cannot be enrolled.~To participate in this clinical study, the subject must meet all the following inclusion criteria:~Have an approved indication for implantation of an ICD, or CRT-D~Be a Chinese national~Will be implanted with one of the following device/lead combinations evaluated in this study:~Group 1: Ellipse VR single-chamber ICD with a Durata lead in the RV~Group 2: Ellipse DR dual-chamber ICD, with a Durata lead in the RV and a Tendril STS lead in the RA~Group 3: Ellipse DR dual-chamber ICD with a Optisure lead in the RV and a Isoflex lead in the RA~Group 4: Quadra Assura MP CRT-D and an Optisure or Durata lead in the RV, an Isoflex or Tendril STS lead in the RA, and a Quartet lead in the LV~Be willing to undergo an elective MRI scan without sedation ≥ 45 days after implant NOTE: Antianxiety agents (e.g. minor tranquilizers, etc.) may be used as long as the patient can communicate with site personnel during the MRI scan~Be able to provide informed consent for study participation (legal guardian or legally authorized representative is NOT acceptable)~Be willing and able to comply with the prescribed follow-up tests and procedures~Are not contraindicated for an MRI scan (per the MRI Screening Form)~Subjects who are at least 18 years of age (or older, required by local law)~Exclusion criteria~Subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria must be excluded from the clinical investigation:~Have a competitor's MRI compatible endocardial lead implanted or capped~Have another existing active implanted medical device, e.g., neurostimulator, infusion pump, etc. that has MR labeling that will not allow the MRI scans per this protocol to be completed.~Have other non-MRI compatible device or material implanted. The following examples may be included as long as labelling of these devices allow MRI scans conducted per this protocol:~MRI compatible knee replacements, hip replacements, stents, etc.~MRI compatible mechanical, prosthetic, and bio prosthetic heart valves~Non-removable dental implants~Have a lead extender, adaptor, or capped/abandoned lead~Enrolled or intend to participate in a clinical drug and/or device study (investigational device, investigational drug, new indication for a device or drug or additional testing beyond standard of care procedures), which could confound the results of this study as determined by Abbott.~Pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the duration of the subject's participation in the study~Have a life expectancy of less than 12 months due to any condition~Effectiveness evaluation method~There are two effectiveness endpoints to be evaluated in this study.~Description of the effectiveness endpoints~Proportion of leads with a capture threshold increase of ≤ 0.5V at 0.5ms for RA and RV leads and ≤ 1.0V at 0.5ms for LV leads from pre-MRI scan to 1-month post-MRI scan testing.~Proportion leads with a sensing amplitude decrease of ≤ 50% from pre-MRI scan testing to 1-month post-MRI scan.~Selection of method and time for evaluation, recording and analysis of the effectiveness endpoints Since the objective is to evaluate the effect of MRI exposure for the ICD/ CRT-D device groups included in this study, the effectiveness parameters were selected to compare abnormal changes in device performance from pre- to 1-month post- MRI scan. The pre-MRI measurements are collected within the same day prior to the MRI scan. The 1-month post-MRI scan measurements are collected at 30 days post-MRI scan (within +14 days) to ensure any effect of the MRI exposure is captured.~The effectiveness parameters are recorded directly from the device. The device measurements will be obtained using the Merlin programmer to interrogate the device during study visits. The analysis of the effectiveness parameters will be conducted on all subjects with complete data from pre- to 1-month post-MRI scan.~Safety evaluation method There is one safety primary endpoint to be evaluated in this study.~Description of the safety endpoint Freedom from MRI-scan related complications from the time of the MRI scan to 1-month post-MRI scan testing.~Selection of method and time for evaluation, recording and analysis of the safety endpoints Since the objective is to evaluate the effect of MRI exposure for the ICD/ CRT-D device groups included in this study, the safety parameters were selected to include only MRI-scan related complications from the time of device programming for an MRI scan to 1-month post-MRI scan. An independent physician CEC will adjudicate all adverse device effects during this period to determine the relatedness to the MRI scan.~Safety surveillance within this study and the safety reporting, both performed by the investigator, starts as soon as the subject completes the pre-MRI visit testing and the MRI Settings have been programmed according to the protocol. The safety surveillance and the safety reporting will continue until the last study visit has been performed, the subject is deceased, the subject/investigator concludes his participation into the clinical study or the subject withdrawal from the clinical study.~Monitoring plan~Sponsor and/or designee will monitor the clinical study over its duration according to the CIP-specific monitoring plan which will include the planned extent of source data verification.~Prior to initiating any procedure, the Sponsor monitor (or delegate) will ensure that the following criteria are met:~The investigator understands and accepts the obligation to conduct the clinical study according to the CIP and applicable regulations, and has signed the Clinical Trial Agreement.~The Investigator and his/her staff should have sufficient time and facilities to conduct the clinical study and should have access to an adequate number of appropriate subjects to conduct the clinical study.~Source documentation (including original medical records) must be available to substantiate proper informed consent procedures, adherence to CIP procedures, adequate reporting and follow-up of adverse events, accuracy of data collected on case report forms, and device information.~The Investigator/site will permit access to such records. A monitoring visit sign-in log will be maintained at the site. The Investigator will agree to dedicate an adequate amount of time to the monitoring process. The Investigator and/or research coordinator will be available for monitoring visits. It is expected that the Investigator will provide the monitor with a suitable working environment for review of clinical study-related documents.~Statistical considerations~This study is an observational study to meet the requirements for device approval by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA, previously China FDA).
