5. Prevalence of Common Comorbidities in the Pacemaker Patient Population
The Prevalence of Common Comorbidities Increases Rapidly Over Age
MRI Is the Gold Standard Diagnostic Tool for
Neurologists, Oncologists, and Orthopedic Surgeons,
Whose Patients Are Often Over 65 Years of Age.4
MRI is unmatched in its ability to accurately visualize soft tissue
It is estimated that 50 to 75% of pacemaker patients will have a medical need for an MRI over the lifetime of their device5
The Most Common Reasons for MRI Referral Are
Musculoskeletal and Neurological Symptoms.6
Medicare records show that in patients > 65 years of age with
an implanted pacemaker:
34% have spine and intervertebral disc disease7
36% have chronic pain of wrist, foot, ankle, or elbow7
14% suffer from injury or trauma to the spine, knee, or shoulder7

6. Hazards and Risks of MRI with Current Pacing Systems
Since 2008, the safety and risk concerns of MRIs in cardiac device patients have been documented in 17 studies.1-17
MRI can put pacemaker patients at risk for any of the following16:
Field
Impact
Static
Gradient RF
Lead Heating The conductive pacing lead acts as an antenna, picking up radiofrequency energy. A portion of this energy is dissipated as heat in the cardiac tissue near the tip electrode.
Tissue damage may affect pacing therapy.
Unintended Cardiac Stimulation The gradient and radiofrequency fields will induce voltages in pacemaker leads that will be applied to the pacing lead electrodes. If these voltage pulses are large enough, they may directly stimulate the heart.
May lead to a single or intermittent stimulation, or sustained tachycardia.
Device Interactions The gradient, radiofrequency, and static fields may adversely affect the electrical operation of the pacemaker system if its operation is not protected from the effects of those fields.
Pacemaker malfunction or failure may affect pacing therapy.
MR Conditional Risk Information
A complete SureScan pacing system including 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

15. Brief Statement
The Revo MRI™ SureScan® pacing system is MR Conditional and as such is designed to allow patients to undergo MRI under the specified conditions for use.
Indications
The Revo MRI SureScan Model RVDR01 IPG is indicated for use as a system consisting of Medtronic Revo MRI SureScan IPG implanted with two CapSureFix MRI® SureScan 5086MRI leads. A complete system is required for use in the MRI environment.
The Revo MRI SureScan Model RVDR01 IPG is indicated for the following:
• Rate adaptive pacing in patients who may benefit from increased pacing rates concurrent with increases in activity
• Accepted patient conditions warranting chronic cardiac pacing include:
– Symptomatic paroxysmal or permanent second- or third-degree AV block
– Symptomatic bilateral bundle branch block
– Symptomatic paroxysmal or transient sinus node dysfunctions with or without associated AV conduction disorders
– Bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome to prevent symptomatic bradycardia or some forms of symptomatic tachyarrhythmias
The device is also indicated for dual chamber and atrial tracking modes in patients who may benefit from maintenance of AV synchrony. Dual chamber modes are specifically indicated for treatment of conduction disorders that require restoration of both rate and AV synchrony, which include:
• Various degrees of AV block to maintain the atrial contribution to cardiac output
• VVI intolerance (for example, pacemaker syndrome) in the presence of persistent sinus rhythm
Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) is indicated for termination of atrial tachyarrhythmias in bradycardia patients with one or more of the above pacing indications.
Atrial rhythm management features such as Atrial Rate Stabilization (ARS), Atrial Preference Pacing (APP), and Post Mode Switch Overdrive Pacing (PMOP) are indicated for the suppression of atrial tachyarrhythmias in bradycardia patients with atrial septal lead placement and one or more of the above pacing indications.
The device has been designed for the MRI environment when used with the specified MR Conditions of Use.
Contraindications
The device is contraindicated for:
• Implantation with unipolar pacing leads
• Concomitant implantation with another bradycardia device
• Concomitant implantation with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator

16. Brief Statement: Medtronic CareLink® Monitor/CareLink Network
Intended Use
The CareLink Monitor and the CareLink Network are indicated for use in the transfer of patient data from some Medtronic implantable cardiac devices based on physician instructions and as described in the product manual. These products are not a substitute for appropriate medical attention in the event of an emergency and should only be used as directed by a physician.
Contraindications
There are no contraindications for the CareLink Monitor.
Potential Complications
Potential complications include, but are not limited to, rejection phenomena, erosion through the skin, muscle or nerve stimulation, oversensing, failure to detect and/or terminate arrhythmia episodes, acceleration of tachycardia, and surgical complications such as hematoma, infection, inflammation, and thrombosis.
Warnings and Precautions
The CareLink Monitor must only be used for interrogating compatible Medtronic implantable devices. The CareLink Monitor is intended for use within the prescribing country.
See the device manuals before performing an MRI Scan for detailed information regarding the implant procedure, indications, MRI conditions of use, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential complications/adverse events. For further information, call Medtronic at 1 (800) and/or consult Medtronic’s website at
Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a physician.
There are no known contraindications for the use of pacing as a therapeutic modality to control heart rate. The patient’s age and medical condition, however, may dictate the particular pacing system, mode of operation, and implantation procedure used by the physician.
• Rate responsive modes may be contraindicated in those patients who cannot tolerate pacing rates above the programmed Lower Rate
• Dual chamber sequential pacing is contraindicated in patients with chronic or persistent supraventricular tachycardias, including atrial fibrillation or flutter
• Single chamber atrial pacing is contraindicated in patients with an AV conduction disturbance
• ATP therapy is contraindicated in patients with an accessory antegrade pathway
Warnings/Precautions
Changes in a patient’s disease and/or medications may alter the efficacy of the device’s programmed parameters. Patients should avoid sources of magnetic and electromagnetic radiation to avoid possible underdetection, inappropriate sensing and/or therapy delivery, tissue damage, induction of an arrhythmia, device electrical reset, or device damage. Do not place transthoracic defibrillation paddles directly over the device. Use of the device should not change the application of established anticoagulation protocols.
Do not scan the following patients:
• Patients who do not have a complete SureScan pacing system, consisting of a SureScan device and two SureScan leads
• Patients who have previously implanted devices, or broken or intermittent leads
• Patients who have a lead impedance value of < 200 Ω or > 1,500 Ω
• Patients with a SureScan pacing system implanted in sites other than the left and right pectoral region
• Patients positioned such that the isocenter (center of MRI bore) is inferior to C1 vertebra and superior to the T12 vertebra
