What is an Advisa DR MRI SureScan pacemaker?
The Advisa DR MRI™ and Advisa SR MRI™ SureScan™ pacing systems are MR Conditional, and as such designed to allow patients to undergo MRI under the specified conditions for use. When programmed to On, the MRI SureScan mode allows the patient to be safely scanned while the device continues to provide appropriate pacing.
Which Medtronic pacemakers are MRI safe?
Our portfolio of SureScan™ cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P), cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D), implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), pacemakers (IPG), and insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) systems provides exactly that — safe, full body MRI access.
Is Medtronic A2DR01 pacemaker MRI compatible?
The Advisa DR MRI™ SureScan™ Model A2DR01 and Advisa SR MRI™ SureScan™ Model A3SR01 IPGs are FDA approved for 1.5T and 3T full body MRI scans. Visit MRISureScan.com to find more information on how to verify, program, and safely scan a pacing system with MRI SureScan technology.
What is Medtronic Advisa DR MRI?
The Medtronic Advisa DR MRI™ SureScan® pacing system is Medtronic’s second- generation MR-Conditional pacemaker and is the first to combine the most advanced pacing technology with proven MRI access.
How much does a Medtronic pacemaker cost?
Cost of a pacemaker is $5,000 to $10,000 (just for the device, not counting the much larger charge by hospital and physicians for implanting it) and Medtronic says the Revo pacemaker will be in that range.
Is Adapta MRI compatible?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – Do not use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on patients who have an implanted device. MRI may cause damage to the device and/or serious injury to the patient. Adapta/Versa/Sensia/Relia Pacemaker Reference Guide.
What is a SureScan pacemaker?
The Medtronic SureScan system is MR Conditional and, as such, is designed to allow implanted patients the ability to undergo an MRI scan under the specified MRI conditions of use. This feature can be found in some Medtronic Pacemaker, ICD, and CRT-D devices.
What is Medtronic SureScan?
Only SureScan™ MRI technology — integrated across the entire Medtronic portfolio — provides full-body MRI access* in Normal Operating Mode. † Simplifies future diagnoses and treatment and eases patient concerns. Allows MRI to be performed in Normal Operating Mode.
What makes a pacemaker MRI compatible?
For pacemakers and defibrillators, metal “leads” that are similar to wires are implanted in the body and the heart muscle. Leads that come within the MRI scanner’s alternating magnetic field can generate electricity, or heat up, while touching your heart.
What is MRI SureScan?
The MRI SureScan™ feature permits a mode of device operation that allows a patient with a SureScan system to undergo an MRI scan under the specified MRI conditions for use. A complete SureScan system is required for use in the MR environment.
What is the best brand of pacemaker?

Can a person with a pacemaker get an MRI?
Patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators can undergo an MRI but will need special considerations based on the type of device the patient has and the MRI equipment. It is advised your referring physician contacts the MRI technologist or radiologist.
Can a pacemaker be scanned with a SureScan?
The Advisa DR MRI™ SureScan™ Model A2DR01 and Advisa SR MRI™ SureScan™ Model A3SR01 IPGs are CE approved for 1.5T and 3T full body MRI scans. Visit the MRI Surescan page to find more information on how to verify, program and safely scan a pacemaker with MRI SureScan Technology.
Is the Advisa SR SureScan approved for full body MRI?
Built For MRI The Advisa DR MRI™ SureScan™ Model A2DR01 and Advisa SR MRI™ SureScan™ Model A3SR01 IPGs are FDA approved for 1.5T and 3T full body MRI scans. Visit MRISureScan.com to find more information on how to verify, program, and safely scan a pacing system with MRI SureScan technology.
What should pulse width be for MRI SureScan?
Patients whose device will be programmed to an asynchronous pacing mode when MRI SureScan is on must have no diaphragmatic stimulation at a pacing output of 5.0 V and at a pulse width of 1.0 ms.
What are the risks of a SureScan MRI?
The SureScan system has been designed to minimize potential complications in the MRI environment. Potential MRI complications include, but are not limited to, lead electrode heating and tissue damage resulting in loss of sensing or capture or both, or induced currents on leads resulting in continuous capture, VT/VF, and/or hemodynamic collapse.
