Executive Summary
Medtronic has CE marked what it claims is the world’s smallest pacemaker, Micra, for sale in Europe. The development is consistent with the firm’s presentation at the JP Morgan meeting in January, when it said it planned to CE mark the device this year. It is expecting US FDA and Japanese approval for Micra in 2017.
