Accent® Pacemakers

Accent pacemakers are designed to enhance patient safety, improve clinic efficiencies and deliver tailored therapy.

Enhanced Safety and Reliability

Remote monitoring and follow-up are designed to provide earlier detection of clinical events.

• Remote monitoring technology enables the transmission of patient data to clinicians — providing more timely notification of changes in device and patient disease status.
  
• Programmable, audible alerts can notify patients to any arrhythmia or device changes.
  
• Industry-leading longevity of 9 years* (dual chamber) is supported by a seven-year warranty¹.
  

Improved Clinic Efficiencies

Remote monitoring provides key diagnostic information automatically.

• Remote follow-up via the Merlin@home^® transmitter supports clinic efficiencies by allowing scheduled follow-ups to happen from home, thus promoting patient compliance.
  
• Interactive DirectCall^® Message voice response system eliminates the need for routine follow-up calls.
  
• Comprehensive diagnostics, available through Merlin.net PCN, may replace the need for routine office visits.

Proven TailoredTherapy^TM Features

Flexible programmability delivers optimal therapy based on patient needs.

• SenseAbility^® technology provides programming flexibility for accurate sensing over a wide range of atrial and ventricular signals by adjusting during every beat.
  
• Ventricular Intrinsic Preference (VIP^®**) is proven² to reduce unnecessary RV pacing—which has been shown to reduce the risk of heart failure^3,4—while supporting the ventricle for every non-conducted beat, to promote AV synchrony.
  
• Ventricular AutoCapture™ Pacing System addresses changing thresholds by automatically controlling pacing amplitude and monitoring ventricular capture with every pacing pulse.
  
• AF Suppression™** technology is clinically proven to suppress episodes of paroxysmal and persistent AF⁵.
