Pacemakers

Vitatron G Series

Vitatron's top-of-the-range G-series is built on the success of a company that's dedicated to leading-edge technology without ever compromising the service, relationship and responsiveness you've experienced for over 50 years. Yet these high-tech pacemakers don't mean high complexity. Vitatron's G-series is smart and easy.

It's smart.

The G-series offers a full suite of innovative diagnostics and therapies to diagnose, prevent and treat atrial arrhythmias in your patients.

Diagnose

AT/AF Compass provides the clear, concise information you need to help detect atrial arrhythmias early. Its full array of capabilities can then guide your therapy decision making.

Prevent

Reduced Ventricular Pacing+ reduces unnecessary RV pacing to less than 20%.1 This is essential to your patients because minimizing unnecessary RV pacing reduces the risk of AF, heart failure hospitalization and mortality.2-4

Treat

The G-series pacing algorithms not only recognize atrial tachyarrhythmias in your patients, they also initiate therapies to manage those arrhythmias and help alleviate symptoms:

Rate Drop Response – When syncope is the result of carotid sinus syndrome or vasovagal syncope, the G-series pacemaker recognizes the imminent faint and responds by pacing at an increased rate. This flexible recognition algorithm may help to alleviate symptoms in your patients and prevent their syncope altogether.

It's easy.

The G-series makes state-of-the-art pacemaker technology easy with built-in tools to simplify your clinic
follow-ups.

Automatic Device Check checks your patient's device automatically every day.

  • Lead impedance
  • Battery status
  • Atrial and ventricular threshold evaluation
  • Sensing amplitudes

Atrial and Ventricular Output Management regularly measures thresholds and adapts pacing outputs to a safe level, even when your patient's condition changes. And it all happens completely automatically.

  • Improves patient safety
  • Increases device longevity

Cardiac Dashboard II simplifies your clinic follow-ups by showing the full picture on a single screen. It contains a concise overview of relevant clinical and device data for your patient. Plus one-click links quickly give you more detail when you need it.

Vitatron's G-series puts state-of-the-art technology into pacemakers to help your patients live full lives while simplifying yours. It's smart. It's easy.
