Description
Greater pacing flexibility without sacrificing lead stability.
Built on the proven QuickFlex™ µ tip platform, the Quartet™ four-pole LV tip offers outstanding deliverability with exceptional stability and performance. Studies reflect an average implant success rate of approximately 97%.
Better Management of Heart Failure Symptoms
We designed our breakthrough quadrupole technology to provide better management and outcomes for heart failure patients. With four electrodes and up to 14 pacing configurations, the quadripolar system provides left ventricular (LV) pacing at the site of choice without sacrificing electrode stability for better management of heart failure patients.
Heart failure patients undergoing implantation of unipolar and bipolar CRT devices may experience difficulties with phrenic nerve stimulation, high pacing thresholds, and unresponsiveness to CRT therapy. Managing these challenges can result in longer implant times and surgical revisions.
Quadripolar technology can help you meet these challenges by giving you greater pacing flexibility without sacrificing lead stability.
Potential Benefits of Quadrupole Technology
- Shorter implant times and reduced fluoroscopic exposure
- Fewer surgical revisions
- More basic pacing opportunities (mainly pacing has been shown to be associated with improved results)
Overall, quadrupole technology can lead to higher CRT implant and postoperative efficiency while providing improved CRT efficacy.
MRI Preparation
The Quartet quadrupole LV lead, when combined with approved devices, enables full-body, 1.5T, and 3T MRI scans that meet certain scanning conditions.*
- Meets industry standard MRI testing requirements
- Capable of full body 1.5T and 3T MRI imaging scans
Four Clearly Spaced Electrodes
- Provides greater pacing flexibility than unipolar or bipolar leads
- Provides more options to help prevent pacing complications
IS4 Connector
- Activates four pacing electrodes in a single connector for simplified implantation
Low Profile
- 4.7 F lead stem diameter for maneuverability
- 4.0 F-tip electrode to assist access to small targets or hard-to-reach branch vessels
Steerable Tip
- Adjustable distal tip angle for improved maneuverability in venous anatomy
Optim™ Lead Insulation
- First-of-its-kind hybrid insulation material
- Developed specifically for cardiac lead use
- It blends the biological stability and flexibility of high performance silicone rubber with the strength, tear resistance and abrasion resistance of polyurethane, providing superior wear resistance on a fine diameter insert.
