ProMRI AFFIRM

ProMRI (Phase A)

Clinical Safety of the ProMRI Pacemaker System when Used Under Specific MRI Conditions with Scan Exclusion Zone

Bailey, Heart Rhythm 2016

Study Design

  • Prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, multicenter study
  • Demonstrates the clinical safety of the ProMRI pacemaker system when used under specific MRI conditions
  • 272 patients at 37 centers in the USA and Europe

Key Result 1

SADE free rate: 100% free of MRI and pacing system related serious adverse device effects 1


Key result 2:

Atrial pacing threshold: 99% of patients experienced < 0.5 V atrial pacing threshold increase post-MRI11


Key Result 3:

Ventricular pacing threshold: 100% of patients experienced < 0.5 V ventricular pacing threshold increase post-MRI1

P-wave sensing attenuation: 100% of patients experienced P-waves above 1.5 mV — 99.4% of patients experienced < 50% P-wave sensing attenuation

R-wave sensing attenuation: 100% of patients experienced R-waves above 5 mV — 99.5% of patients experienced < 50% R-wave sensing attenuation
