Getting a Pacemaker With SureScan® Technology

Unlike previous generations of pacemakers, the Revo MRI™ and Advisa MRI SureScan® pacing systems were designed, tested, and FDA approved to allow for access to MRI scans.

It is important to be aware of the risks associated with mixing these technologies and know what to ask your doctor to help make an informed decision before getting an MRI.

A complete SureScan pacing system including an Advisa MRI SureScan IPG and a Revo MRI SureScan IPG and two CapSureFix MRI SureScan leads is required for use in the MRI environment. Any other pacing system combination may result in a hazard to the patient during an MRI scan. When programmed to On, the MRI SureScan feature allows the patient to be safely scanned while the device continues to provide appropriate pacing. The Advisa MRI and Revo MRI SureScan pacing systems are MR Conditional. This means the pacing system is designed to allow patients to undergo MRI, when your doctor determines you meet patient eligibility requirements and the scan is conducted according to Medtronic directions.

The term “MRI access” means your implanted pacemaker has shown no known hazards in certain MR environment with specified conditions of use. If you are being considered for an MRI scan, your cardiologist will have information about the environment and conditions
