FDA has approved Medtronic’s CareLink SmartSync device manager that allows doctors to use an Apple iPad to program and manage data from the company’s BlueSync-enabled implanted cardiac devices. SmartSync is described as a next-generation programmer and pacing system analyzer that follows Medtronic’s popular CareLink 2090 programmer. It features a simplified user interface, enhanced security and Bluetooth capabilities to communicate with compatible cardiac devices. SmartSync includes the CareLink SmartSync mobile application, patient connector (telemetry head) and base station (pacing system analyzer). A full U.S. launch is expected in August, Medtronic says.
