MR Conditional lead is part of the St. Jude Medical MR Conditional system. Patients with an implanted St. Jude Medical MR Conditional system can have an MRI scan if the conditions for use, as described in the MRI-Ready Systems Manual, are met.
MRI-Ready Systems Manual. Scanning under other conditions may result in severe patient injury or death. The St. Jude Medical MR Conditional system includes a St. Jude Medical MR Conditional pulse generator connected to one or more St. Jude Medical MR Conditional leads.
Adverse Events The Reported Adverse Events (page 3) summarize the adverse events in the Accent MRI ™ ™ Pacemaker and Tendril MRI Lead Investigational Device Exemption Study (MRI Study). The MRI study was a prospective, multi-center clinical investigation designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Accent MRI pacemaker system in a patient population indicated for implant of a pacemaker within and outside of an MRI environment.

parameter set incorporated in the Accent MRI pacemakers. In addition, all other device components which could have an impact on compatibility with the magnetic resonance environment are unchanged from the Accent MRI pacemaker; therefore all Accent MRI endpoint data collected during the study that provided reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness within and outside of an MRI environment is applicable to the Assurity MRI and Endurity MRI devices.

Figure 1. Lead Safety Phase The figure below depicts the MRI Phase.
Figure 2. MRI Phase Study Objectives The objective of this clinical study was to verify the safety and efficacy of the ™ Accent MRI pacemaker system indicated for implant of a pacemaker within and outside of the MRI environment. Primary Objectives The following are the primary safety and efficacy objectives defined for this study.

Lead Safety ™ Safety of the Tendril MRI lead was evaluated in terms of freedom from RA and RV lead-related complications for the acute (implant to two-month visit) and chronic (two-month visit through the 12 month visit) time frames. MRI Safety The safety of the Accent MRI system was evaluated in terms of freedom from MRI scan-related complications in the month following the MRI scan.
Was unable to fit in MRI bore; will come into contact with the magnet façade inside the MRI bore. Had a prosthetic tricuspid heart valve. Was currently participating in a clinical investigation that includes an active treatment arm. Was allergic to dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP). Was pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the duration of the study.

Figure 4. Number of patients participating in MRI phase/contributing scan data As of October 30, 2014, the total time of follow-up from the time of successful implant was 18,425 patient-months.

thereafter, during which the following tests/assessments were performed: electrical measurements on the RA and/or RV leads. Patients were also assessed for adverse events at all study visits. For the MRI Phase of the study, patients completed an MRI Visit, and returned approximately thirty days later for a one-month post-MRI visit.

RV Lead-Related Complications (2 month through 12 month visit) Nine hundred two (902) patients who had a Tendril MRI ™ lead attempted or successfully implanted and who were not withdrawn before the two-month visit were analyzed for this endpoint. No RV lead-related complications were observed. The probability of RV lead-related complication-free survival at the 12-month follow-up visit was calculated as 100% with a 95% lower confidence bound of 100%, which is greater than the objective performance criterion of 95%.
Secondary Endpoint Results System-Related Complications Nine hundred twenty (920) patients who had an Accent MRI ™ pacemaker system attempted or successfully implanted were analyzed for this endpoint. Forty-five (45) system-related complications (RA lead, RV lead, pacemaker- and system-related complications) were observed. The probability of system-related, complication-free survival at the 12-month follow-up visit was calculated as 94.64% with a 95% lower confidence bound of 92.76%, which is greater than the objective performance criterion of 80%.
Removing and Inserting the Stylet To remove a stylet from the fixation tool, unscrew the proximal thumbscrew on the tool by turning it counter-clockwise and withdraw the stylet. For additional information, contact your St. Jude Medical Sales Representative.
Page 24
Figure 5. Unscrew the proximal thumbscrew on the fixation tool before you withdraw the stylet To insert a stylet into the fixation tool, attach the terminal lead pin into the distal (gray) portion of the tool, then insert the stylet through the proximal (white) portion. The stylet should be inserted into the lead before the lead is inserted into the vein.

Figure 7. Extend the helix by rotating the fixation tool clockwise Retract the helix by holding the lead body stationary in one hand and turning only the gray portion of the tool opposite the direction indicated by the arrow "FIXATE" (counterclockwise). Figure 8.
Figure 9. Vein lifter Using the Lead Introducer If a lead introducer is used, follow the instructions provided with the introducer. CAUTION: If using a percutaneous lead introducer with a hemostasis valve, make sure the valve allows for appropriate passage of the lead without damaging the lead body.

When the lead is past the appendage and in the chamber, feed more lead into the heart so that it regains its "J" shape. Take a firm grip on the stylet, then introduce more of the lead so that the electrode tip goes as far as possible into the atrium.

withdraw the stylet under fluoroscopic observation. The lead tip should remain in position. Exercise caution during stylet retraction to avoid dislodging the lead. Retraction of the J-shaped stylet may be more difficult than retraction of a straight stylet. A recommended method for retracting a J-shaped stylet is to loosen the proximal thumbscrew and hold the stylet handle manually;...
