Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
This device is classified as an Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generator (Product Code: DXY) and serves as a sterile, disposable plastic container designed to house and protect implantable pacemaker pulse generators during handling and storage. Its primary function is to maintain sterility and integrity of the generator prior to implantation, reducing contamination risks in the operating environment.
The bags are supplied sterile and intended for single-use in clinical settings, adhering to regulatory standards for Class III medical devices under FDA 510(k) clearance (K780777). They are not intended for MRI use and must be stored in a clean, dry environment to preserve sterility. Authorized by the FDA in 1978, these bags are part of the procedural workflow for pacemaker generator preparation and are not reusable or reprocessable.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of these sterile plastic bags for pacemaker pulse generators?
These bags are designed to maintain the sterility and physical integrity of implantable pacemaker pulse generators during handling and storage before implantation. Their main function is to minimize contamination risks in the operating environment, ensuring the generator remains uncontaminated until use.
Are these bags intended for reuse or single-use, and why?
These bags are explicitly intended for single-use only. The manufacturer specifies they are disposable to preserve sterility and prevent cross-contamination between procedures, aligning with regulatory standards for Class III medical devices.
How should these bags be stored to ensure sterility and usability?
They must be stored in a clean, dry environment to protect sterility. The packaging is sterile upon receipt, and exposure to moisture or contaminants could compromise the integrity of the bag and the generator inside.
Can these bags be used with MRI-compatible pacemaker generators?
No, these bags are not intended for MRI use. The product description explicitly excludes MRI compatibility, so they should not be used in procedures involving MRI-compatible devices.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of these bags?
These bags received FDA 510(k) clearance (K780777) under the Traditional pathway, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* (SESE) by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee. The clearance was granted in 1978 and remains valid for use as sterile, disposable containers for pacemaker pulse generators.
