Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Cook Pacemaker 215 Unipolar Cardiac Implantable Pulse-Generator is a Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generator, designed to regulate heart rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to the heart muscle when necessary. It is classified as a Class III medical device under FDA regulations, requiring pre-market approval due to its critical role in managing cardiac arrhythmias. This unipolar model is intended for use in patients requiring temporary or permanent pacing support, ensuring consistent cardiac output.
This device is implanted subcutaneously in a sterile surgical setting and is intended for single-use implantation, though the pulse-generator itself may be reusable in certain configurations. It is not MRI-safe and must be used with caution in environments where magnetic resonance imaging is performed. Supplied as a sterile, pre-packaged system, it requires proper handling and storage as per manufacturer guidelines. The device holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the classification DXY and is regulated under 21 CFR 870.3610 for implantable cardiac devices.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Cook Pacemaker 215 Unipolar Cardiac Implantable Pulse-Generator, and how does it function in the body?
The Cook Pacemaker 215 Unipolar Cardiac Implantable Pulse-Generator is designed to regulate heart rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to the heart muscle when the natural pacemaker fails. It provides temporary or permanent pacing support to ensure consistent cardiac output, helping patients with cardiac arrhythmias maintain a stable heartbeat.
Is this device intended for single-use or can it be reused after implantation?
The Cook Pacemaker 215 Unipolar is intended for single-use implantation, though the pulse-generator itself may be reusable in certain configurations. This means the system components used during surgery are typically disposed of after use, while the implanted pulse-generator may remain functional for extended periods under proper conditions.
How is the device supplied, and what precautions should be taken during handling?
The device is supplied as a sterile, pre-packaged system, ensuring it is ready for use in a sterile surgical setting. Proper handling and storage are critical to maintain sterility and functionality, following the manufacturer’s guidelines to avoid contamination or damage before implantation.
Can this device be used in patients who require MRI scans, and why?
No, the Cook Pacemaker 215 Unipolar is not MRI-safe. It must be used with extreme caution in environments where magnetic resonance imaging is performed, as MRI machines generate strong magnetic fields that could interfere with the device’s operation or cause harm to the patient.
What regulatory pathway does this device follow, and how is it classified?
The Cook Pacemaker 215 Unipolar is classified as a Class III medical device under FDA regulations, requiring pre-market approval due to its critical role in managing life-threatening cardiac conditions. It holds FDA 510(k) clearance under product code DXY and is regulated under 21 CFR 870.3610 for implantable cardiac devices, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* by the Cardiovascular Advisory Committee.
