BIOTRONIK ProMRI CIEDs
For many years, patients with a pacemaker, ICD or CRT device, have been denied access to MRI. The cardiac devices were not approved for MRI scanning and the influence of magnetic resonance imaging on implanted cardiac systems was not yet tested.
In 2009 BIOTRONIK received, as one of the leading medical device companies, its first approval to label a pacemaker family and the respective leads as MR conditional.
BIOTRONIK offer:
- The world’s largest range of implantable cardiac systems approved for MR scanning.
- ProMRI for cardiac monitoring, pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
- Systems that are tested and approved for MRI under certain conditions.
- Systems approved for 1.5 T and 3.0 T MR scanning.
- Systems that allow full-body scanning options.
BIOTRONIK Simplify Care Pathways
Next-generation MRI access
- Pre- and post-MRI scan programming can take up to 28 minutes, which adds waiting time to the patient, the radiology staff and number of personnel needed. BIOTRONIK’s MRI Guard 24/7 is intended to save some of this time
- BIOTRONIK’s MRI Guard 24/7 provides an automatic MRI mode switch for easy MRI examinations without pre- and post-scan programming appointments3 – streamlined and automated for both care teams and patients.
- The sensor can be active for complete follow-up intervals up to one year, allowing for MRI scans at any time during this time frame.
