EU gives CE Mark approval to Evera MRI SureScan ICD for Arrhythmias-Medtronic
Medtronic has announced CE Mark approval and European launch of the Evera MRI SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) System, the only ICD system approved for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans positioned on any region of the body. The Medtronic Evera MRI ICD is not approved in the United States.
As well as being approved for use in MRI scans, Evera MRI features a contoured shape that reduces skin pressure by 30 percent. It is paired with the Sprint Quattro Secure family of ICD leads, which is safe for use in an MRI environment.
