The technology is in the tip
 
SonRtip is the only atrial pacing lead featuring an embedded hermetically-sealed micro-accelerometer¹
The micro-accelerometer functions as a sensor providing access to exciting new technologies in the treatment of heart failure:
• Measures the vibrations that correlate to S1 heart sounds
• Connects to the only CRT-D system able to measure real-time contractility and automatically optimizes timing cycles at rest and exercise
 
 

More than an atrial lead
 
While the SonRtip lead functions as a standard atrial lead, it also functions as a sensor to measure vibrations that correlate to heart sounds²
The SonRtip lead:
• Can be easily implanted anywhere in the atrial wall²
• Accurately measures cardiac muscle vibrations that reflect the first heart sound from any position in the atrium
 

 
SonRtip SENSOR – KEY FEATURES

• The SonRtip sensor is a piezoceramic transducer loaded by a platinum/iridium seismic mass, converting flexural stresses to electricity
• A micro spring integrated into the sensor increases sensitivity while providing additional protection and shock resistance
• The sensor signal is amplified and transmitted to the PARADYM™ RF SonR CRT-D device through a micro electronic circuit to ensure long-term signal integrity
 

 
PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING
 The SonRtip lead’s good electrical performance and handling characteristics allow you to feel confident in choosing the desired pacing site²
• Good torquability and steerability for optimal lead placement in the atrial wall³
• The SonRtip lead provides excellent electrical performance through stable pacing thresholds and sensing amplitudes²
• The SonRtip lead uses a PEG-coated fixed screw ‘sugar tip’ fixation
 
SAFETY AND RELIABILITY
 Rigorous bench testing demonstrated the long-term reliability and performance of the SonRtip lead and sensor
• Extensive bench-testing of the SonRtip lead reported zero failures
• Rigorous stress testing of the SonRtip lead sensor of over 200 million cycles resulted in no degradation of the SonR signal
 
RELIABLE LEAD BODY CONSTRUCTION²
 The SonRtip lead body construction is designed to provide optimal safety and reliability even in the most rigorous of conditions²
SonRtip lead body features:
• A 6.6F, four-lumen silicone insulation lead body for excellent flexibility and durability
• A polyurethane sheath overlaid on the silicone lead body for enhanced torquability and handling
• A pacing coil manufactured using a five wire construction with two micro cables for enhanced flexibility
• The SonRtip connector consists of a silicone-filled transition spring that provides resistance to fluid infiltration and structural stress during lead implantation
