MRI Is the Gold Standard Diagnostic Tool for
Neurologists, Oncologists, and Orthopedic Surgeons,
Whose Patients Are Often Over 65 Years of Age.4
• MRI is unmatched in its ability to accurately visualize
soft tissue
• It is estimated that 50 to 75% of pacemaker patients
will have a medical need for an MRI over the lifetime of
their device5
The Most Common Reasons for MRI Referral Are
Musculoskeletal and Neurological Symptoms.6

Hazards and Risks of MRI with Current Pacing Systems
Since 2008, the safety and risk concerns of MRIs in cardiac device patients have been documented in 17 studies.1-17
MRI can put pacemaker patients at risk for any of the following16:
Field
Impact
Lead Heating
The conductive pacing lead acts as an antenna, picking up
radiofrequency energy. A portion of this energy is dissipated as heat in
the cardiac tissue near the tip electrode.
Tissue damage may affect
pacing therapy.
Unintended Cardiac Stimulation
The gradient and radiofrequency fields will induce voltages in pacemaker
leads that will be applied to the pacing lead electrodes. If these voltage
pulses are large enough, they may directly stimulate the heart.
May lead to a single or
intermittent stimulation, or
sustained tachycardia.
Device Interactions
The gradient, radiofrequency, and static fields may adversely affect the
electrical operation of the pacemaker system if its operation is not
protected from the effects of those fields.
Pacemaker malfunction or
failure may affect pacing
therapy.
Static
Gradient
MR Conditional Risk Information
• A complete SureScan pacing system including a Revo MRI SureScan IPG and two CapSureFix MRI SureScan leads is required for use in the MRI environment
• Any other pacing system combination may result in a hazard to the patient during an MRI scan
• When programmed to On, the MRI SureScan feature allows the patient to be safely scanned while the device continues to provide appropriate pacing
• Refer to the Revo MRI Pacing System Conditions for Use located in the device manuals prior to scanning a patient. Consult Medtronic’s website at

Brief Statement
The Revo MRI™ SureScan® pacing system is MR Conditional and as such is designed to allow patients to undergo MRI under the specified conditions for use.
Indications
The Revo MRI SureScan Model RVDR01 IPG is indicated for use as a system consisting of Medtronic Revo MRI SureScan IPG implanted with two CapSureFix
MRI® SureScan 5086MRI leads. A complete system is required for use in the MRI environment.
The Revo MRI SureScan Model RVDR01 IPG is indicated for the following:
• Rate adaptive pacing in patients who may benefit from increased pacing rates concurrent with increases in activity
• Accepted patient conditions warranting chronic cardiac pacing include:
– Symptomatic paroxysmal or permanent second- or third-degree AV block
– Symptomatic bilateral bundle branch block
– Symptomatic paroxysmal or transient sinus node dysfunctions with or without associated AV conduction disorders
– Bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome to prevent symptomatic bradycardia or some forms of symptomatic tachyarrhythmias
The device is also indicated for dual chamber and atrial tracking modes in patients who may benefit from maintenance of AV synchrony. Dual chamber modes
are specifically indicated for treatment of conduction disorders that require restoration of both rate and AV synchrony, which include:
• Various degrees of AV block to maintain the atrial contribution to cardiac output
• VVI intolerance (for example, pacemaker syndrome) in the presence of persistent sinus rhythm
Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) is indicated for termination of atrial tachyarrhythmias in bradycardia patients with one or more of the above pacing indications.
Atrial rhythm management features such as Atrial Rate Stabilization (ARS), Atrial Preference Pacing (APP), and Post Mode Switch Overdrive Pacing (PMOP) are
indicated for the suppression of atrial tachyarrhythmias in bradycardia patients with atrial septal lead placement and one or more of the above pacing indications.
The device has been designed for the MRI environment when used with the specified MR Conditions of Use.
Contraindications
The device is contraindicated for:
• Implantation with unipolar pacing leads
• Concomitant implantation with another bradycardia device
• Concomitant implantation with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator
There are no known contraindications for the use of pacing as a
therapeutic modality to control heart rate. The patient’s age and medical
condition, however, may dictate the particular pacing system, mode of
operation, and implantation procedure used by the physician.
• Rate responsive modes may be contraindicated in those patients who
cannot tolerate pacing rates above the programmed Lower Rate
• Dual chamber sequential pacing is contraindicated in patients with
chronic or persistent supraventricular tachycardias, including atrial
fibrillation or flutter
• Single chamber atrial pacing is contraindicated in patients with an AV
conduction disturbance
• ATP therapy is contraindicated in patients with an accessory antegrade
pathway
Warnings/Precautions
Changes in a patient’s disease and/or medications may alter the efficacy
of the device’s programmed parameters. Patients should avoid sources of
magnetic and electromagnetic radiation to avoid possible underdetection,
inappropriate sensing and/or therapy delivery, tissue damage, induction
of an arrhythmia, device electrical reset, or device damage. Do not place
transthoracic defibrillation paddles directly over the device. Use of the
device should not change the application of established anticoagulation
protocols.
Do not scan the following patients:
• Patients who do not have a complete SureScan pacing system,
consisting of a SureScan device and two SureScan leads
• Patients who have previously implanted devices, or broken or
intermittent leads
• Patients who have a lead impedance value of < 200 Ω or > 1,500 Ω
• Patients with a SureScan pacing system implanted in sites other than
the left and right pectoral region
• Patients positioned such that the isocenter (center of MRI bore) is
inferior to C1 vertebra and superior to the T12 vertebra
