> FDA has approved Medtronic’s Amplia MRI Quad CRT-D SureScan and Compia MRI Quad CRT-D SureScan defibrillators for patients requiring magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The approvals cover MRI scans on any part of the body without positioning restrictions, the company says. Until now, CRT-Ds have been contraindicated by the FDA to undergo MRI scans because of the potential interaction between the MRI and the device, resulting in risk to patients, Medtronic says. It adds that as many as 40% of CRT patients will need an MRI within four years after receiving a defibrillator.
