Rapid HTAs of three medical devices released in Tuscany

The HTA body of the Tuscany Regional Healthcare issues three types of documents: full HTA reports, rapid HTA reports, and motivational forms. With regional decree 4588 of March 5, 2024, Tuscany Regional Healthcare published two new assessments and one re-assessment of medical devices in the cardiovascular, neuromodulation, and surgical procedures areas.

The assessed technologies are provided below:

• Neuromodulation system INTELLIS SureScan MRI by Medtronic for patients with chronic neuropathic pain who, with reasonable certainty, will have to undergo an MRI examination following the implant due to certain conditions;
• Pulsed field ablation catheter FARAWAVE by FARAPULSE for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (update);
