Shares of Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:BSX), declined -3.06% to $15.85, during its last trading session.
Boston Scientific Corporation has received CE Mark on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conditional labeling for the current family of EL (Extended Longevity) and MINI implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and the X4 cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) systems. This revised labeling ensures that future patients and those already implanted with these systems are able to undergo MRI scans if indicated.
Patients with implantable cardiac devices have a wide variety of diagnostic imaging accessible to them, counting x-rays and CT scans, but Boston Scientific systems had not been evaluated as MRI conditional. This new system labeling, referred to as ImageReady™ MR Conditional devices, stipulates the conditions under which the systems are considered safe for use in a MRI setting.
“While the broader imaging compatibility will be important for some patients, I still expect device longevity and the ability to mitigate risk of complications to be the most critical factors in choosing the best system for each patient,” said Gianluca Botto, head of Electrophysiology and Clinical Arrhythmias at S. Anna Hospital, Como, Italy and president of Italian Association of Pacing and Arrhythmias.
Boston Scientific Corporation develops, manufactures, and markets medical devices for use in various interventional medical specialties worldwide. The company operates in three segments: Cardiovascular, Rhythm Administration, and MedSurg.
