The SoloPace Fusion Temporary Pacing System from Solo Pace Inc. is deigned to eliminate the need for right ventricular (RV) lead placement, which requires the added procedural step to gaining venous access. This can cut procedure time and mitigate possible complication risks. For interventional cardiologists using improvised left ventricular (LV) pacing, this system can replace ad-hoc clip assemblies, subcutaneous needles and exposed wire connections, which are known sources of inconsistent pace capture.
