Medtronic, Inc. announced it has received CE Mark for the company's second-generation pacemaker designed, tested, approved for use as labeled with MRI machines, the Advisa DR MRI SureScan pacing system. The Advisa MRI SureScan pacing system currently is not available for sale in the United States. Approximately 2 million Europeans have implanted pacemakers, but these patients are strongly discouraged from receiving MRI scans, a widely practiced diagnostic method for many common diseases and conditions, because their device could interact with MRI machines, potentially affecting the device or patient safety.
