GEM®, GEM® II, & GEM®
III Family of ICDs
GEM® III DR
Enhanced tachyarrhythmia therapy, safety,
and convenience:
- Fewer unnecessary shocks for patients
- Greater device longevity (6.1 years using
15% pacing
and quarterly charges)
- Exclusive Patient Alert monitors system for five
safety conditions and alerts patients to seek follow-up
care if necessary
- Enhanced diagnostics make follow-up more efficient and
effective
- Medtronic Vision® software and Quick Look home
page simplify programming
and follow-up
Proven PR Logic analyzes rate, pattern, regularity and AV dissociation
to detect and classify arrhythmias and trigger device response:
- When tachyarrhythmia therapy is delivered, device has 95.2%
Positive Predictive Value with enhanced PR Logic
- When tachyarrhythmia therapy is withheld, device has 100%
sensitivity that it is not needed

“We
view remote telemetry, such as that provided by the CareLink Network,
as
the new standard of care for ICD patients.
I expect the technology
to increasingly change the way patients with implantable devices are
cared for across the country.”

Center. |
The Medtronic
CareLink Network is transforming patient care with the first and only
remote monitoring
service for device patients and their clinics.
