At Abbott, we adapt quickly to changes in the world around us, harnessing leading-edge science and technology to deliver the best possible solutions for some of the world’s most important health challenges. Medical devices, like the Abbott AVEIR™ VR Leadless Pacemaker, use the most advanced technologies to keep hearts beating more regularly.
Watch the video below to learn more.
AVEIR VR Leadless Pacing is designed for chronic retrieval using a dedicated retrieval catheter.1
AVEIR VR Leadless Pacemaker active fixation helix uses a screw-in mechanism to enable both implantation and chronic retrieval of the Leadless Pacemaker.1
The AVEIR VR LP's predicate device has an overall chronic retrieval success rate of 92.5% for implants ≥ 5 years.1,2

ISO Standard settings: 4.7 yrs Micra / 10.3 yrs AVEIR VP Leadless Pacemaker: VVIR bpm, 2.5V @0.4 ms, 600Ω, 100% pacing
of current VR leadless pacemakers based on ISO standard settings1,3*
AVEIR VR Leadless Pacemaker has more than double the battery capacity of current leadless pacemakers (243 mAh1 vs 120 mAh3)
AVEIR VR Leadless Pacemaker can measure R-waves, impedance, and an initial capture threshold before fixation by simply touching the electrode to the endocardial tissue.1,4 AVEIR VR Leadless Pacemaker is engaged with a rotational motion into the endocardium.
AVEIR VR Leadless Pacemaker mapping capability is designed to help reduce the number of repositioning attempts.1,4
83.2% of patients had successful implants with no repositioning attempts4
96.4% of patients had successful implants in 1 or less repositioning attempts4
The software for AVEIR VR Leadless Pacemaker was designed for expandability to a dual chamber system to be introduced to the AVEIR VR system via software updates in the future, upon regulatory approval.1**
AVEIR is MR Conditional for full body scans using a 1.5T or 3T field strength MRI scanner.***
