Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Endocardial Leads 414S & 515S are permanent pacemaker electrodes, designed as conductive components for transmitting electrical impulses from an implanted pacemaker to the heart muscle. These leads are intended for endocardial placement, facilitating cardiac pacing in patients requiring chronic rhythm management.
These leads are supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation during cardiac procedures. They are classified as Class III devices under FDA product code DTB and were cleared via the 510(k) pathway in 1981. Compatibility with MRI is not specified, and storage conditions must adhere to manufacturer guidelines to maintain sterility and functionality.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Are these leads reusable or intended for single-use only, and how should they be handled before implantation?
The Endocardial Leads 414S & 515S are explicitly designed for single-use implantation and are supplied sterile. They must be handled according to manufacturer guidelines to preserve sterility and functionality, ensuring they are only used once per patient during a cardiac procedure.
What types of cardiac procedures are these leads intended for, and how are they placed?
These leads are intended for endocardial placement, meaning they are implanted directly into the heart muscle to facilitate chronic cardiac pacing in patients requiring rhythm management. They are conductive components that transmit electrical impulses from an implanted pacemaker, making them suitable for procedures involving permanent pacemaker systems.
Are there different sizes or models available, and if so, how do they differ?
The Endocardial Leads 414S & 515S are listed as distinct models, but the provided data does not specify exact differences in size, electrode design, or pacing capabilities. Clinicians should refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for detailed technical distinctions, such as lead length, coil configurations, or tine designs, which may influence selection for specific patient anatomies or pacing needs.
How should these leads be stored to maintain their integrity and sterility before use?
The manufacturer’s guidelines must be followed for storage to ensure sterility and functionality are maintained. While the data does not specify exact conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity), standard practices for sterile single-use medical devices—such as keeping them in sealed, unopened packaging and avoiding contamination—should be applied. Always check the packaging for any additional storage instructions.
What regulatory pathway was used for FDA clearance, and what does this mean for clinicians or buyers?
The Endocardial Leads 414S & 515S were cleared via the 510(k) pathway in 1981, with a determination of substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This means the FDA found them to have the same intended use and technological characteristics as a previously cleared device, ensuring they meet safety and effectiveness standards for permanent pacemaker electrodes. Clinicians or buyers can rely on this clearance as evidence of regulatory review, though ongoing adherence to manufacturer instructions is still required.
