Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What clinical conditions is this pacemaker electrode designed to address, and how does it work?
This device is specifically intended for patients with bradycardia or heart block, where the heart’s natural electrical conduction system is impaired or insufficient. The Biotronik Permanent Pacemaker Electrode delivers controlled electrical impulses to the heart muscle, helping to restore and maintain a normal heart rate by compensating for the impaired conduction system.
Is this electrode single-use or reusable, and how is it supplied?
The Biotronik Permanent Pacemaker Electrode is supplied sterile and is intended for single-use only. It is designed for surgical implantation and should not be reused after one procedure to ensure patient safety and sterility.
What regulatory pathway does this device follow, and what does that mean for its use?
This device follows the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway under the product code DTB, classified as a Class III medical device. The clearance (K863480) confirms it meets FDA standards for cardiovascular applications, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety and performance requirements before clinical use.
Are there multiple models available, and how do I determine compatibility with my pacemaker system?
Yes, multiple model references are available for this electrode, each designed to ensure compatibility with various pacemaker systems. The listed FEI numbers (e.g., 3002618605, 1028232) correspond to specific electrode models, so you should verify the exact model number required for your pacemaker system before ordering.
How should this electrode be stored before use, and what precautions should be taken?
Since the electrode is supplied sterile, it must be stored in its original packaging until ready for use to maintain sterility. Storage should follow manufacturer guidelines, typically in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Always check the packaging for expiration dates or integrity before opening.
