EnPulse^® Pacing System

[+] Click to enlarge

The first-ever completely automatic pacemaker, EnPulse offers exclusive features that make it sophisticated yet simple to use. It performs a wide range of diagnostic tests on a regular basis, without clinician intervention. This allows more time to focus on the patient, less time on the devic

Exclusive Features, Substantial Results

Atrial Capture Management™ (ACM)

• Automatically and regularly adapts atrial threshold levels—an industry first
• Automatically provides long-term threshold trends
• Proven safe, simple, and accurate¹
• Actively manages battery drain

Search AV™+

• Reduces unnecessary ventricular pacing by 72.5% in patients who had 1:1 AV conduction.¹
  

  Reducing unnecessary pacing has been shown to reduce the risk of AF and the risk of heart failure hospitalization²

• Continuously searches for intrinsic conduction—a Medtronic exclusive
• Automatically adapts programmed AV delays to minimize chronic right ventricular pacing
• May improve device longevity³

Sophisticated yet Simple

Quick Look™ II

• Simplifies clinic follow-up with all key information on one screen¹
• Provides concise overview of patient, device, and lead status

Cardiac Compass™ Trends

• Simplifies arrhythmia management with automatic monitoring
• May assist in making therapy decisions using concise information
• Offers information that may help discover silent AF and evaluate effectiveness of therapies

Medtronic CareLink^® Network

• The industry’s first Internet-based remote monitoring service that is comparable to an in-office device check
• Connects EnPulse patients who are at home or traveling with physicians for “virtual office visits”
• Physicians can access device data anytime, from any Web-capable PC
• Provides comprehensive device data in approximately one-third the time of a typical office visit

Medtronic CareLink^® Network for Pacemakers

Now available! Medtronic CareLink^® Network, the leading Internet-based remote monitoring service, is available for pacemakers.
