The physician performed an upgrade from a DC ICD to a BIV ICD.

The old generator was removed, the existing RA lead and existing RV lead was connected to the new device under fluoroscopic guidance, a new CS lead was inserted, the new device was inserted into the pocket. DFT was performed showing a DFT < 18J.

This is what I was thinking:
33240
33241
33225
93641
7109026
 
I would say your codes are correct for the upgrade

33240 remove old gen
33241 insert new gen
33225 add new 3rd lead
93641 test leads
7109026 fluoro
