The FDA has granted approval for the Ilesto 7 implantable cardioverter-defibrillator/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (ICD/CRT-D) series, from Biotronik, for patients who need resynchronisation therapy. The device is one of the world's smallest ICDs and uses ProMRI technology, which enables access to MR scans. Patients also benefit from secure remote monitoring via Biotronik's Home Monitoring system to improve diagnosis. The Ilesto 7 series is now approved and available in the EU and Japan.
