Keeping hearts beating more regularly with the most advanced technologies
Harnessing the capabilities of leadless technology, two distinct devices - one for the right atrium and one for the right ventricle – can be implanted without chest incisions or pockets. Explore the streamlined implantation procedures for atrial and ventricular leadless pacing in the single chamber workflows below to gain a deeper understanding of these minimally invasive techniques.
How the AVEIR VR Ventricular Leadless Pacemaker (LP) is implanted1
CONNECT patient's skin electrodes to MerlinTM Programmer via the EKG cable and AVEIR Link Module.
INSERT catheter with attached ventricular pacemaker and navigate to right ventricle.
MAP ventricular implanting location before fixation by touching endocardium with AVEIR VR LP's tip electrode.
FIXATE the AVEIR VR LP to the ventricular endocardium using the screw-in mechanism.
RELEASE the AVEIR VR LP and withdraw delivery catheter.
For a more detailed workflow, refer to the AVEIR VR Ventricular LP Instructions for Use (IFU) or contact your Abbott Sales Representative for training.
How the AVEIR AR2 Atrial LP is implanted1
CONNECT patient's skin electrodes to MerlinTM Programmer via the EKG cable and AVEIR Link Module.
INSERT catheter with attached atrial pacemaker and navigate to right atrium.
MAP atrial implanting location before fixation by touching endocardium with AVEIR Atrial LP's tip electrode.
FIXATE the AVEIR Atrial LP to the atrial endocardium using the screw-in mechanism.
RELEASE the AVEIR Atrial LP and withdraw delivery catheter.
Our Innovative Catheter Technology
AVEIR Delivery and Retrieval Catheters
- Designed for ergonomic, single operator use.
- Steerable catheter with deflection mechanism.1
- Hydrophilic coating on introducer sheath and a choice of 30cm and 50cm lengths.3
- Protective sleeve fully covers the AVEIR LP's helix during catheter navigation in order to reduce the risk of damaging the helix or an injury to cardiovascular structures.1,2
Tri-loop snare re-docking mechanism
Retrieval Catheter Enables Long-Term Retrieval
- AVEIR tri-loop snare re-docking mechanism enables retrieval of the Leadless Pacemaker.
- AVEIR Ventricular and Atrial LPs' active fixation helix uses a screw-in mechanism to enable both implantation and long-term retrieval of the Leadless Pacemaker.1
- The AVEIR VR Ventricular LP's predicate device has an overall long-term retrieval success rate of 88% with helix fixation through 9 years of retrieval experience.4 Limited data is available for AVEIR VR Ventricular LP.
ENABLING SAFE MRI SCANS
AVEIR LPs are MR Conditional for full body scans using a 1.5T or 3T strength MRI scanner.
