According to Sorin, the Esprit pacemaker, the latest family in the company’s pacemaker portfolio, is the world’s smallest pacemaker, at 8cc, with no compromise on longevity.
Esprit includes a host of algorithms designed for patient safety: continuous lead impedance measurements to monitor the integrity of the lead, automatic adjustment of atrial and ventricular sensing, and ventricular auto-threshold to automatically adjust pacing output in case of changing thresholds, thereby enhancing the performance and longevity of the device, the company said.
The company also said that the Esprit includes Dplus, an automatic atrioventricular hysteresis algorithm designed to reduce right ventricular pacing.
Stefano Lullo, president of cardiac rhythm management business unit at Sorin Group, said: “The Esprit pacemaker family expands the range of options for physicians and their patients, providing advanced and simplified solutions, with no compromise on safety. Sorin Group continues to develop its product portfolio of technologically advanced features that are easy to use.”
