Executive Summary
Vitatron Japan has introduced an implantable cardiac pacemaker designed specifically for the Japanese market. The Shinyu pacemaker is the first to be inscribed with the brand name - which means "friend of the heart" - in Japanese characters, says Japan Medical Review. The product has been given an official reimbursement price of ¥.58 million ($15,800). Dutch company Vitatron's pacemakers were sold in Japan through Baxter until December 1995. The Japanese subsidiary has now begun direct sales, however.
