“…Years of enrolment for the studies ranged from 2010 to 2020. Numerous case reports on direct magnet application in S-ICD patients exist, with many of them occurring in older devices and IAS [17,18,[27][28][29][30]. But, only a few prospective reports with a small number of patients have been published, revealing no relevant adverse events in patients with IAS [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…Magnets are readily available and do not require special training to use, making them an excellent option to reprogram S-ICD devices in emergency situations. In general, the application of a magnet switches pacemakers to an asynchronous pacing mode and suspends all antitachycardia therapies of T-ICD [17][18][19][20][21][22]. In S-ICD instead, magnet application suspends the shock therapy.…”

Introduction: The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) represents a major advancement in ICD technology. Inappropriate shocks (IAS) occur in more than 3.1% of the population with S-ICD each year and are usually followed by admission to the emergency department (ED). In this setting, the disabling of IAS is mandatory during a pseudo-electrical storm (ES). This report describes the strategies that can be followed in order to temporarily inhibit IAS in critical care settings with the use of magnets. Case presentation: An S-ICD was implanted more than 6 weeks prior to presentation in a 68-year-old man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In the ED, the patient experienced 3 IAS in the last hour. A Medtronic magnet was applied to stop IAS, as the specific programmer was not available. The maneuver interrupted the IAS. In order to verify the universal magnetic response of the S-ICD, six different magnets and one smartphone with MagSafe technology were tested. All magnet models suspended arrhythmia detection and IAS, while the smartphone did not cause magnet interferences. Conclusions: This report demonstrates the safety and efficacy of all clinical magnet models in inhibiting IAS. In case of pseudo-ES, any type of magnet allows ED providers to easily and rapidly disable the functionality of the devices when appropriate.
