MRI Compatible Pacemakers Market

Market Overview

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the first line of diagnosis and the gold standard for soft tissue imaging and is prominently used for a wide range of medical conditions like musculoskeletal system, cancer, and various neurologic disorders.

Wherein, a pacemaker is a small device which is positioned in the abdomen or chest for controlling the abnormal heart rhythms. Pacemakers are used for treating arrhythmias as they use electric pulses to push the heart to beat at a normal level.

Use of pacemakers and MRI device has been consistently on the rise during the recent years. Patient with pacemakers are very likely to opt for MRI during the lifetime of their implanted devices. MRI compatible pacemakers are certain implantations that are safe when and MRI is performed.

Over the years, various novel technologies for MRI compatible pacemakers have paved their way into the healthcare industry.

As per a study published by the Harvard Health Publishing, researchers conducted and then reviewed 212 MRI scans that involved 178 patients with non-approved MRI compatible pacemakers and found no contradictions for safety of the patients. Over the past 7 years, FDA has approved a few MRI compatible pacemakers that are safe to use.

Prominent FDA approvals, rise in number of patients with electronic cardiac implants, and increase in the healthcare expenditure, are few of the primary factors pushing market growth for MRI compatible pacemakers.

Government investments for R&D and technology related to MRI compatible pacemakers and increasing number of manufacturers involved in the R&D of MRI compatible pacemakers, is also expected to fuel demand for MRI compatible pacemakers during the forecast period.

In 2014, Medtronic got its two of the devices approved by the FDA; Revo MRI SureScan pacemakers, and Advisa DR MRI. Various manufacturers have got their approvals over the years, which has pushed market growth for MRI compatible pacemakers, and is expected to boost the demand for MRI compatible pacemakers during the forecast period.

On the contrary, stringent regulatory scenarios for MRI compatible pacemakers and severely high costs associated with these MRI compatible pacemakers might obstruct the market growth for MRI compatible pacemakers over the course of forecast.
