2 Background International, standard of care registry to document short, mid and long-term operational and clinical outcome data on the S-ICD system 1000 patients followed for 5 years post implant Includes both retrospective and prospective patients implanted since CE mark in 2009 Centers to be included from all current commercial countries Boston Scientific Corporation or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

3 Eligibility Inclusion Criteria 18yrs at time of consent* Eligible for implantation of an S-ICD System per local clinical guidelines or currently implanted with a S-ICD System Exclusion Criteria Participation in any other investigational study that may interfere with interpretation of the study results Class I indications for permanent pacing Pace-terminable VT Previously implanted unipolar pacemakers *A subset of countries implemented a protocol that allows patients under the age of Boston Scientific Corporation or its affiliates.

All rights reserved.

15 Inappropriate Therapy: Incidence 32 patients received 73 inappropriate shocks on average FU of 18 months, resulting in an inappropriate therapy rate of 7% at 360 days. IAS & Programming Reasons for IAS P = % of patients were programmed to dual-zone which reduced the inappropriate therapy rate to 6.4% Only one inappropriate therapy has been recorded for AF/SVT within the programmed conditional zone in all S-ICD System clinical evaluations 72% of patients were inappropriate therapy-free after initial interventions (reprogramming, exercise tests, medication changes) Boston Scientific Corporation or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

16 Time to therapy Induced Spontaneous 15.1 ± 3.7 sec with range of 7 to 37 seconds TTT generally shorter with induction due to only 65 J charge and removal of one counter to allow faster therapy delivery 17.5 ± 4.4 sec with range of 6 to 29 seconds Therapy withheld in 13% of patients and 46% of stored episodes due to longer time to therapy No clinical events (i.e. syncope) were reported for any of the spontaneous episodes Boston Scientific Corporation or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

17 Conclusions The largest cohort of real-world S-ICD System data demonstrates comparable performance to TV-ICDs Boston Scientific Corporation or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

18 S-ICD System from Boston Scientific CRM Indications for Use The S-ICD System is intended to provide defibrillation therapy for the treatment of life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients who do not have symptomatic bradycardia, incessant ventricular tachycardia, or spontaneous, frequently recurring ventricular tachycardia that is reliably terminated with anti-tachycardia pacing. Contraindications Unipolar pacemakers are contraindicated for use with the S-ICD System. Warnings and Cautions The S-ICD System contains sterile products for single use only. Do not resterilize. Handle the components of the SICD System with care at all times and maintain proper sterile technique. All Cameron Health implantable components are designed for use with the Cameron Health S-ICD System only. Connection of any S-ICD System components to any other ICD system will result in failure to deliver lifesaving defibrillation therapy. General External defibrillation equipment should be available for immediate use during the implantation procedure and follow-up. Placing a magnet over the SQ-RX Pulse Generator suspends arrhythmia detection and therapy response. Removing the magnet resumes arrhythmia detection and therapy response. Battery depletion will eventually cause the SQ-RX Pulse Generator to stop functioning. Defibrillation and excessive numbers of charging cycles shorten the battery longevity. The S-ICD System has not been evaluated for pediatric use. The S-ICD System does not provide long-term bradycardia pacing, Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) or Anti-Tachycardia Pacing (ATP). Potential Adverse Events related to implantation of the S-ICD System may include, but are not limited to, the following: Acceleration/induction of atrial or ventricular arrhythmia; Adverse reaction to induction testing; Allergic/adverse reaction to system or medication; Bleeding; Conductor fracture; Cyst formation; Death; Delayed therapy delivery; Discomfort or prolonged healing of incision; Electrode deformation and/or breakage; Electrode insulation failure; Erosion/extrusion; Failure to deliver therapy; Fever; Hematoma; Hemothorax; Improper electrode connection to the device; Inability to communicate with the device; Inability to defibrillate or pace; Inappropriate post-shock pacing; Inappropriate shock delivery; Infection; Keloid formation; Migration or dislodgement; Muscle stimulation; Nerve damage; Pneumothorax; Post-shock/post-pace discomfort; Premature battery depletion; Random component failures; Stroke; Subcutaneous emphysema; Surgical revision or replacement of the system; Syncope; Tissue redness, irritation, numbness or necrosis.
