Inappropriate shock delivery is a problem that has been described for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs). Situations which predispose inappropriate shock delivery, such as childbirth, must be identified and the best treatment strategies selected. Inactivation of the S-ICD is the safest approach to avoiding inappropriate shock delivery. Inactivation of the S-ICD requires adequate patient monitoring and facilities for manual shock delivery.
