Douglas Rachac is a former Medtronic employee with a ton of professional knowledge about ICDs (implantable cardioverter defibrillators), as well as personal experience (he has one himself). In this short clip taken from the full Q&A episode I did with him, ‘In-Depth Q&A About ICDs: Former Medtronic Employee Douglas Rachac’, he shares the various things or situations that could trigger an ICD to fire or go off.
If you’d like to learn even more about ICDs after this short clip, check out the full Q&A episode I did with him here: • In-Depth Q&A About ICD...

Note that The Heart Warrior Project is run by one guy, which is yes, me (Jellis Vaes).
In between work, studies at university, and just life, I try to squeeze in some time almost every day to work on this project. This project takes a lot of work, as I genuinely want to deliver high-quality and helpful content for survivors here. And I do it with a lot of love every day.
However, help is always appreciated. If you have found any insights, lessons, or support from this or any other episode, and you’d like to support the project, we have a couple of ways to do so.
We offer some ⁠⁠awesome-looking merch⁠⁠, such as T-shirts, hoodies, and mugs, with different designs that I personally love wearing/using myself.
If you aren’t interested in any merch but still want to support the project, we also ⁠⁠accept donations⁠⁠.

I learned a little more about the ICD, just some of the same questions I had that were answered, thank you.

I was not aware of the different settings possible. Is it possible to set the level at a point where it would ONLY deliver the dreaded zappage is your heart actually stopped? Or more accurately if it could be set to only jolt if the patient is already unconscious? That is the only way I would accept one. Stay well all. Cheers

The algorythm for treatment before shock is set for a specific bpm for s programed number of QRS intervals. It diesn't deliver therapy every time you reach the threshhold. If the rate is unsustained, it won't treat.

I received six inappropriate shocks due to AF 'confusing' the device - my meds and device settings were changed to hopefully move me out of the danger zone of this happening again.

My question is, I use electric hair clippers, or did before I had my ICD installed 7-17-2024, I was wondering if it would cause a shock if I was cutting my hair or someone else's if they had an ICD? I have not been able to find a answer for that. Thanks.
