Implanted via the femoral vein with the smallest available leadless technology delivery system, the Nanostim leadless pacemaker offers a less-invasive approach for physicians compared to traditional pacemaker procedures that require more invasive surgery. The device is designed to be fully retrievable so that it can be readily repositioned throughout the implant procedure and later retrieved if necessary.
The device is supported by the St. Jude Medical™ Merlin™ Programmer, which is also used to interrogate and program the company’s other pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

In the coming months, St. Jude Medical anticipates updated labeling for many of its existing cardiac rhythm management devices, which will allow more patients the freedom to safely undergo MRI scans.
About the Nanostim™ Leadless Pacemaker
A pacemaker is a small implantable device that sends electrical pulses to the heart to treat bradycardia, which is a heart rate that is too slow. These devices monitor the heart and provide electrical stimulation when the heart beats too slowly for each patient's specific physiological requirements. Leadless pacemakers provide the same type of therapy but do so without the traditional leads found in conventional pacemakers.
The Nanostim leadless pacemaker operates like a traditional pacemaker, but is 10 percent the size of a conventional pacemaker and is designed to reduce or eliminate complications associated with leads, chest incisions and surgical pockets. The Nanostim leadless pacemaker received CE Mark approval in October 2013. To date, more than 1,000 Nanostim leadless pacemakers have been implanted worldwide. The Nanostim leadless pacemaker is undergoing a clinical study in the U.S. under an FDA-approved investigational device exemption.
