Advisa MRI SureScan Pacing System
Now two generations ahead in pacemakers approved for MRI
- Most advanced pacing technology
- MRI access for any region of the body*
- Only pacing technology FDA-approved for MRI use
The Advisa MRI SureScan pacing system is MR Conditional designed to allow patients to undergo MRI under the specified conditions for use. A complete system, consisting of a Medtronic Advisa MRI SureScan IPG implanted with two CapSureFix MRI™ SureScan leads is required for use in the MRI environment.
Meeting the Need for Safe Pacing and MRI
Detail - Average Age of Pacemaker Patient
It is estimated that up to 75% of pacemaker patients will have a medical need for an MRI over the lifetime of their device.1
Convergence of Needs: MRI and Pacemakers
Elderly patients are the primary users of MRI. Individuals over age 65 are twice as likely to need an MRI compared to younger patients.2
The potential need for a pacemaker also increases with age.
Comprehensive Patient Care
Detail - Prevalence of Common Comorbidities
Medical and surgical specialties rely on MRI for diagnosis. In fact, MRI is the gold standard diagnostic tool for soft tissue imaging for neurologists, oncologists, and orthopaedic surgeons. Your pacemaker choice today can affect their decisions and diagnostic capabilities tomorrow.
The prevalence of common comorbidities increases over age 65,3-5 often requiring MRI – the same population most likely to require a pacemaker.
Advisa MRI Pacing System – FDA-Approved for MRI Use
Now for the first time, Advisa MRI allows you to implant leading-edge pacing innovation with access to today’s gold standard diagnostic tool.
Managed Ventricular Pacing Mode
Builds Upon Medtronic Innovations
- Managed Ventricular Pacing (MVP®) promotes intrinsic conduction and reduces unnecessary right ventricular pacing by 99%6
- Cardiac Compass® graphically displays more than a year of trended data to help monitor and manage AF and AT
- Reactive ATP™ (Antitachycardia Pacing) continuously monitors and responds to changes in rate or regularity of AT episodes, and appropriately delivers atrial ATP therapies to restore sinus rhythm
Atrial ATP quickly delivers painless therapies to restore sinus rhythm7,8

How the Advisa MRI Pacing System Works
Detail - Easily identifiable radiopaque icons confirm SureScan technology
The Advisa MRI Pacing System with SureScan® technology has met the rigors of clinical evaluation, regulatory review, and FDA approval.
Specifically Engineered for the MRI Environment
Multiple safety features were designed and incorporated from the ground up:
- Device verification appears on pacemaker programmer screen
- One-screen programming clearly outlines necessary steps to scanning and pacing
- Easily identifiable SureScan radiopaque icon on the device and lead confirms SureScan technology
- Device contains robust circuitry
- Dedicated programming mode provides additional security and backup for “Power On Reset” (POR)
- Hall sensor immune to strong magnetic fields
A Lead Designed for Use in the MRI Environment
The CapSureFix MRI® SureScan Lead Model 5086:
- Based on the CapSure® family of leads – more than 2 million leads implanted, with 99.5% reliability1
- Designed and engineered for safety in the MRI environment
