Dual-chamber implantable defibrillators are small, battery-powered devices surgically implanted under the skin to monitor and correct dangerous heart rhythms. They combine pacing capabilities with defibrillation to treat both slow (bradycardia) and fast (tachycardia) heartbeats, restoring a stable rhythm when needed.
These devices are typically regulated as active implantable medical devices, requiring rigorous safety and performance standards. They are usually supplied as part of a system, including leads and generators, and must comply with regional medical device classifications before clinical use.
