Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The APC Implantable Pacing Leads are classified as permanent pacemaker electrodes, designed for use in cardiac pacing systems. These leads deliver electrical impulses to stimulate the heart muscle, regulating abnormal heart rhythms by maintaining proper cardiac pacing and synchronisation.
These leads are intended for single-use implantation within the cardiovascular system and are supplied sterile. They are regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K812807) and fall under device classification 3 (DTB) for pacemaker electrodes. Multiple model references are listed, including 3002618605, 1028232, and others, ensuring compatibility with various pacemaker systems. Storage and handling must adhere to sterile medical device protocols.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Are these pacing leads designed for reuse or are they single-use only, and how should they be handled to maintain sterility?
The APC Implantable Pacing Leads are explicitly intended for single-use only after implantation. Since they are supplied sterile, proper sterile handling protocols must be followed during storage, preparation, and implantation to prevent contamination. Once used, they should be discarded according to medical device disposal guidelines.
What types of pacemaker systems are these leads compatible with, and how do I identify the correct model for my patient?
These leads are designed for compatibility with multiple pacemaker systems and come in various model references, including 3002618605, 1028232, and others. The correct model depends on the specific pacemaker device being used. Always verify compatibility with your chosen pacemaker system’s documentation or consult the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure proper pairing.
How should these leads be stored to ensure they remain sterile and functional until use?
Since these leads are sterile upon supply, they must be stored in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Follow the manufacturer’s storage instructions to maintain sterility and integrity until implantation. Avoid exposing them to moisture or contamination.
What regulatory pathway does this device follow, and how does that affect its use in clinical settings?
The APC Implantable Pacing Leads are regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K812807), classified as Class III (DTB) for pacemaker electrodes. This means they undergo rigorous review by the FDA’s Cardiovascular (CV) advisory committee to ensure safety and effectiveness. Clinicians can rely on this clearance as evidence of regulatory compliance, though local hospital protocols and physician discretion should still guide their use.
