Japan approves MicroPort CRM’s Alizea Bluetooth Pacemaker

France-based MicroPort CRM has recently received Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) Japanese regulation agency approval for its latest range of implantable pacemakers, Alizea. The devices are equipped with Bluetooth technology for streamlined remote monitoring when paired with MicroPort CRM’s SmartView Connect home monitor, already approved in Japan. Alizea pacemakers allow cardiologists to monitor devices remotely. The SmartView Connect home monitor is designed to be placed at the patient’s bedside to allow for the regular transmission of detailed reports to the cardiologist on the functioning of the pacing system, removing the need for patients to visit the hospital for simple routine examinations, and thus reducing the burden on the healthcare system. Alizea pacemakers and the SmartView Connect home monitor work together to provide the cardiologist with timely alerts and transmissions triggered by patients when they present symptoms, leading to faster and more efficient patient care.
