Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Encor Bipolar Act/Fixa Lead, and how does its design support this function?
The Encor Bipolar Act/Fixa Lead is designed for permanent cardiac pacing, delivering precise electrical stimulation to regulate heart rhythm in patients requiring long-term pacemaker support. Its bipolar configuration ensures focused stimulation, while the porous surface electrode enhances stability and electrical contact with cardiac tissue, improving pacing reliability.
Is this lead intended for reuse, or is it meant to be implanted once and discarded?
This lead is explicitly designed for single-use implantation only, meaning it should not be reused after one procedure. The manufacturer emphasizes its sterile packaging and permanent pacemaker application, which aligns with single-use medical device standards.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance, and when was the decision made?
The Encor Bipolar Act/Fixa Lead received FDA 510(k) clearance through the traditional pathway under the Cardiovascular (CV) advisory committee, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent (SESE)* dated June 16, 1988. The submission was filed on October 23, 1987, and classified as a Class III device under regulation 870.3680.
Are there any specific storage requirements mentioned for this lead?
While the provided data does not detail storage conditions explicitly, the lead is supplied sterile for single-use implantation. Standard sterile medical device storage practices—such as protecting from moisture, extreme temperatures, and physical damage—should be followed to maintain integrity until use.
