Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluating the Electro Magnetic Interference of Using Tablet and Smart Phone on Leadless Pacemaker (MICRA) (NCT NCT02758210)

NCT ID: NCT02758210

Last Updated: 2017-11-09

Results Overview

Cardiac pacing before and during use of a smart phone was monitored to assess asynchronous pacing due to electromagnetic field exposure. The initial programmed pacing settings of the MICRA device are compared to any changes during the smart phone usage.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Before use of Smart Phone), During use of Smart Phone (an average of 5 minutes)

Ventricular pacing before and during use of a smart phone was monitored to assess the presence of inhibition of ventricular pacing due to electromagnetic field exposure. The programmed pacing of the MICRA device is specific for each participant. The individualized, initial programmed pacing settings of the MICRA device are compared to any changes during the smart phone usage.
