Assurity MRI

Single Chamber and Dual Chamber Pacemaker

Assurity

Implant Today. MRI-Ready Tomorrow.

The Assurity MRI Pacemaker, when combined with the UltiPace, Tendril™ STS, or IsoFlex™ Optim™ Pacing Leads, allows for full-body 1.5T and 3T MRI scans with no wait time between implant and MRI scan readiness.** This combination provides an option that can help patients receive a timely diagnosis so that they can get the care they need, when they need it.

% Of MRI Scans are Urgent or Emergent:

22.7%

IFU Recommended Wait Time For MRI Scan:

42 Days

For Medtronic, Boston Scientific and Biotronik2-4

No Wait

MRI-Ready

Assurity MRI Pacemaker with UltiPace, Tendril STS, or IsoFlex Optim Pacing Leads now gives you 3T MRI options you didn't have before — immediate access to MRI scans without compromising device performance.** Eliminate the six-week wait time for MRI scans that Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and Biotronik recommend.2-4 Will your patient be ready?

  • Meets industry-standard MRI testing parameters
  • Shortest delay between implantation and scan feasibility on the market for pacemakers.2-4
  • MR Conditional for full body 1.5T and 3T MRI scans*
