State-of-the-Art ProMRI Technology

MRI Guard 24/7

BIOTRONIK's ProMRI technology enables patients with implanted cardiac devices (pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, and cardiac monitors) to safely undergo MRI scans under specified conditions.

With MRI Guard 24/7, BIOTRONIK makes MRI exams for care teams and CIED patients even smarter and more efficient. This unique technology provides an automatic MRI mode switch for easy MRI examinations without pre- and post-scan programming appointments^1,2 - activated for 365 days.

Temporary MRI Mode

MRI Guard 24/7 builds on BIOTRONIK's MRI AutoDetect capability: A built-in sensor automatically detects the MRI environment. The device enters a predefined MRI mode only during the scan and returns to normal therapy afterward.

Patients stay in MRI Mode for the shortest time needed leading to increased patient safety.

Active 24/7

Keeps the MRI detection sensor active 24/7, allowing MRI scans at any time during that period. Streamlines processes for patients, cardiologists, radiologists, and healthcare institutions.

Automatic Transmission*

Multiple MRI scans can be performed without repeated device reprogramming once the function is activated. Once BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring is active, the implant can automatically transmit a report within 24 hours after the MRI examination.

Full Automatization, Zero Compromise

MRI Guard 24/7 provides a fully automatic solution for hospitals to manage CIED patients reducing touchpoints needed with the patient.^1,2

From complex workflows with multiple patients contact and prolonged waiting times³ to a simplified workflow with zero patient contacts and shorter waiting times³.

Simplifying Workflow

MRI Guard 24/7 transforms MRI access for cardiac device patients by enabling automatic, long-term MRI readiness, reducing workflow complexity, and minimizing the need for manual device programming, while supporting safe MRI examinations under approved conditions.

The BIOTRONIK MRI workflow reduces the median waiting times from 48 to 25 days for urgent outpatient scans - a reduction of 48% compared to conventional workflows.³

ProMRI - Proven MRI Conditionality

BIOTRONIK offers a comprehensive portfolio of cardiac monitors, pacemakers, ICD and CRT systems and cardiac monitors which are tested and approved to be MR conditional. BIOTRONIK therefore allows patients implanted with these device systems to undergo MRI scans under certain conditions.

All our latest generation of devices contain MRI AutoDetect for a simplified MRI access for CIED patients. Devices with MRI AutoDetect have a built-in sensor for detecting the MR environment. As a result the device automatically switches to the predefined MRI setting.

A/Prof. Mariani from Australia on the benefits of a simplified MRI Workflow

Amvia Sky built-in sensor detects the MR environment and automatically switches the device to the predefined MRI setting. This results in the following benefits:

Less programming is required by a medical professional (cardiologist) as part of the MRI procedure, which saves costs.
More flexibility in scheduling patient appointments which increases efficiency of the cardiology and radiology departments and simplifies the workflow.
Before and after the scanning procedure no supervision by a medical professional apart from radiology staff is needed, as the patient remains in optimal therapy mode during that time. As a result, additional costs can be avoided.
