Overview

This Product Education Brief re-enforces the instructions to program the real time clock (step 3 of the IFU below) along with completing other preparations before implanting a Micra device.

Applicable Product

Micra™ VR2 (MC2VR01), Micra™ AV2 (MC2AVR1)

Background on Micra device clock

The Micra devices initiate a date and time stamp at implant in order to trend data collected from the patient starting with the implant. If the internal Micra clock is not set before implant to match the geographic date and time of the implant location, data collection will proceed, but the associated time stamps on the data may not be as expected.

Preparing for Implant

The Micra instructions for use (IFU) describes the process of preparing a Micra device for implant prior to opening the sterile package and the order of operation should be followed. The Micra AV2/VR2 preparation steps are shown below.
