St. Jude Medical Gains CE Mark Approval for MRI Labeling of its Quadra Allure MP

St. Jude Medical has received CE Mark approval for magnetic resonance (MR) conditional labeling for the company’s Quadra Allure MP cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P).

The device is designed to work with the Quartet LV lead, which has four electrodes that provide flexibility for different pacing configurations to help manage heart failure patients.

The technology allows physicians to capture more left ventricular tissue quickly by delivering pacing pulses to multiple left ventricle locations rather than the traditional single pulse for each heartbeat. — Cynthia Jessup
