    Medtronic Receives FDA Approval for Expanded MRI Labeling

    Updated MRI Guidelines allow for a wider range of MRI scan parameters and shorter wait time between MRI scans.

    Charles Sternberg, Assistant Editor02.18.21
    Medtronic plc has received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for expanded MRI labeling of its InterStim II and InterStim Micro sacral neuromodulation (SNM) systems that use SureScan MRI leads.
     
    The updated MRI Guidelines allow for a wider range of MRI scan parameters and shorter wait time between MRI scans, thereby improving patient access to MRI exams and adding flexibility for MRI providers. It applies to existing and future implants of InterStim systems that use SureScan MRI leads.

    "I'm pleased to see medical technology for SNM patients continue to improve,” said Howard Goldman, M.D., professor and vice chairman of Quality and Patient Safety, Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute, Cleveland Clinic. "Optimal MRI labeling is an important enabler of greater access to therapy for patients and alleviates burdens on clinicians' practices.”

    The revised MRI labeling provides more options to patients and physicians than the labeling of the other SNM system on the market:
    • For MRI scanning facilities with B1+rms technology, the new SureScan MRI lead scanning parameters1 increases B1+rms for 1.5 Tesla scans from 3.0 µT to 4.0 µT, and 3 Tesla scans from 1.3 µT to 2.0µT. B1+rms is the gold standard because it is consistent if a patient has multiple MRI scans across different facilities.2 The competitor's MRI labeling does not specify parameters for 1.5T scans with B1+rms technology.
    • The new Medtronic scanning parameters1 increase SAR limits for 1.5 Tesla scans from 0.5 W/kg to 2.0 W/kg; and for 3 Tesla scans from 0.5 W/kg to 1.4 W/kg.
    • The new labeling also decreases wait time from 60 minutes to 5 minutes for maximum duration scans (30 minutes).

    These guideline updates are in addition to the benefit already provided by SureScan MRI technology that impedance checks prior to an MRI scan are not required, providing more efficiency in patient care versus the other SNM system on the market.
     
    "Our updated InterStim SureScan MRI labeling means the best choice in SNM therapy keeps getting better," said Brooke Story, president, Pelvic Health & Gastric Therapies, which is reported as part of the Restorative Therapies Group at Medtronic. "We have had over 70 FDA approvals for the InterStim portfolio and are committed to continuing to innovate so we can help physicians bring life-enhancing technologies to more patients."
