St. Jude OASES
Dynamic Atrial Overdrive pacing algorithm lowers atrial fibrillation burden - measured as total minutes in AF - up to 72%, according to results of OASES, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial presented at NASPE May 20 in Washington, D.C. DAO is featured in St. Jude Medical's Integrity AFx DR, Identity ADx DR and Integrity Micro DR pacers, and in the recently-approved Epic+ DR ICD. St. Jude's DAO pacers compete with Medtronic's AT500 pacemaker, which was approved earlier this with an AF suppression algorithm (1"The Gray Sheet" March 31, 2003, p. 32)...
AF Suppression Algorithm Approval Yields Turn-On For St. Jude Pacer Line
St. Jude Medical is confident it will earn a PMA supplement by year-end to activate its Dynamic Atrial Overdrive (DAO) atrial fibrillation suppression algorithm in patients already implanted with the Integrity AFx DR or Integrity Micro AutoCapture cardiac pacers.
