Specifications

Physical Characteristics:
- Size: Approximately 1/10th the size of a conventional pacemaker (26 mm in length, 6.7 mm in diameter).
- Weight: 2 grams.
- Material: Biocompatible materials with a nitinol frame.
Battery Life:
- Estimated to last up to 12 years, depending on pacing needs.
Placement:
- Implanted directly into the right ventricle of the heart using a catheter-based procedure through the femoral vein.
Pacing Technology:
- Rate-responsive pacing: Automatically adjusts the pacing rate based on physical activity.
- Single-chamber pacing: For patients requiring pacing in the right ventricle only.
- Programmable settings allow for precise customization to meet individual patient needs.
MRI Compatibility:
- MRI Conditional: Safe for MRI scans under specified conditions.
Connectivity:
- Wireless communication via Medtronic CareLink™ for remote monitoring and programming.
Anchoring System:
- Flexible tines made of nitinol securely attach the device to the heart wall to prevent migration or displacement.

Medtronic Micra Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS)

- 1. Leadless Design:
    - No leads or surgical pocket eliminates common complications like infections, lead fractures, or venous obstruction.
  2. Minimally Invasive Procedure:
    - Implantation via catheterization reduces recovery time compared to traditional pacemaker surgeries.
  3. Cosmetic Advantage:
    - Completely contained within the heart, leaving no visible scars or protrusions under the skin.
  4. Self-Contained System:
    - Houses the battery, electronics, and electrodes in a single capsule.
  5. Low Risk of Complications:
    - Significantly reduces the risk of infection and complications associated with traditional pacemakers.
  6. Automatic Diagnostics:
    - Continuously monitors heart performance and device status, alerting healthcare providers to potential issues.
  7. Indications:
    - Patients with bradycardia requiring single-chamber ventricular pacing.
    - Suitable for those at higher risk of infection or with vascular access issues.
  Patient Benefits
  - Reduced procedural risks.
  - Faster recovery and minimal post-implantation restrictions.
  - No external components to maintain.
  The Medtronic Micra TPS represents a breakthrough in pacemaker technology by combining high efficacy with patient-friendly design and fewer complications.
