At Abbott, we adapt quickly to changes in the world around us, harnessing leading-edge science and technology to deliver the best possible solutions for some of the world’s most important health challenges. Medical devices, like the AVEIR™ AR Leadless Pacemaker and AVEIR™ VR Leadless Pacemaker, use the most advanced technologies to keep hearts beating more regularly.

The flexibility to tailor therapy has taken a leap forward. Until now, leadless pacing could only be done in the right ventricle, which meant a conventional pacemaker was the only option for many patients. Now, with the world’s first atrial leadless pacemaker, more patients can benefit from leadless pacing that eliminates the risk of lead- and pocket-related complications and offers no visible scarring or arm movement restriction.
Atrial Pacing for Patients with:
▪ Sinus node dysfunction and normal AV and intraventricular conduction systems
Ventricular Pacing for Patients with:
▪ Significant bradycardia and normal sinus rhythm with only rare episodes of AV block or sinus arrest
▪ Chronic atrial fibrillation
The AVEIR VR LP's predicate device has an overall long-term retrieval success rate above 88% with helix fixation with up to 9 years of retrieval experience.2,3 AVEIR VR LP is designed for long-term retrieval.1 Limited data is available for AVEIR VR LP.
The AVEIR VR LP's predicate device has an overall long-term retrieval success rate of 92.5% for implants ≥ 5 years.3
Increased projected battery longevity over current available leadless pacemakers2,4* opens the door to more patients.
The average battery longevity among Leadless II phase 2 IDE patients at 1 year follow-up is estimated to be 17.6 years
48% of the study patients have an estimated battery longevity of over 20 years.5
