Biotronik launches Edora HF-T MRI-safe CRT-P, touts as smallest in US

Biotronik said today it launched its Edora HF-T magnetic resonance-conditional quadripolar cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker, touting it as the smallest device of its type available in the US. The German medical device company said the Edora HF-T QP has a volume of 15 cc, making it the smallest MR conditional CRT-P available in the US. The device has a lifespan of 10 years and features MRI Autodetect, Closed Loop Stimulation and Biotronik Home Monitoring technology, the company said. “Patient care is a constant journey. It doesn’t end when the patient leaves my office or recovers from a procedure. As healthcare providers, we must think beyond today and help ensure patients are appropriately cared for throughout their lifetime. MR conditional CRT-Ps that can be programmed to automatically switch to MRI mode when they enter the MRI environment are another significant step in delivering the best possible care throughout the patient journey. This technology eliminates an office visit for patients and decreases administrative burden for providers. The impact is significant, especially in institutions that perform cardiac MRI for advanced ventricular care,” cardiac electrophysiologist Dr. Roderick Tung said in a prepared statement. Biotronik’s MRI Autodetect technology is designed to minimize the time the device is in MRI mode, and after being activated by a clinician, can automatically recognize when a patient enters an MRI field to change the d...
