meeting.

and vote on a PMA for the REVO MRI Pacemaker System sponsored by 
Medtronic. The REVO MRI Pacing System is a pacemaker (with a standard 
pacing indication) that has been specifically designed to be safe for 
the MRI environment under certain MR scanning conditions.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post 
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available at the location of 
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be 
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is
