Dr. Raul Weiss, MD, Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology implants BIOTRONIK’s BIOMONITOR IV.
MIAMI BEACH, FL, June 13, 2023 —Mount Sinai Medical Center (MSMC) is pleased to announce the first implant in the southeast United States of a new implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) powered with artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms.
The device, BIOMONITOR IV, is the latest generation of BIOTRONIK’s ICM family. The procedure was performed by Dr. Raul Weiss, MD, Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology on June, 13.
BIOMONITOR IV incorporates SmartECG, the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology from BIOTRONIK, which decreases atrial fibrillation (AF) false positive alerts and increases the accuracy of arrhythmia detection. Coupled with advanced diagnostic capabilities and on demand patient transmission, BIOMONITOR IV empowers clinicians to make more informed decisions and provide better care in a more efficient manner.
“With new diagnostics to differentiate between premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and on-demand transmission of symptomatic events, the BIOMONITOR IV will help us with quick and efficient patient diagnosis.” said Dr. Weiss.
The successful implantation of the BIOMONITOR IV is a testament to Mount Sinai’s commitment to innovation and improving patient care. This is another exciting advancement in the field of remote cardiac monitoring.
