Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the Endocardial Pacing Lead Unipolar 477 used for in clinical practice?
This device is designed for endocardial placement to deliver pacing stimuli directly to the heart’s inner lining. It works with external pacemakers to regulate cardiac rhythm in patients experiencing arrhythmias, ensuring consistent electrical impulses to maintain proper heart function.
Is the Endocardial Pacing Lead Unipolar 477 intended for reuse, or is it single-use only?
The lead is sterile upon supply and intended for single-use implantation only. Reuse is not recommended to preserve sterility and functionality, as outlined in the manufacturer’s guidelines.
How should I store this device to ensure it remains effective and sterile?
The lead must be stored according to manufacturer-provided instructions to maintain sterility and functionality. Since it is sterile upon supply and single-use, proper packaging integrity and environmental controls (e.g., temperature, humidity) are critical before implantation.
What regulatory pathway was followed for this device’s approval, and which committee reviewed it?
The Endocardial Pacing Lead Unipolar 477 received FDA 510(k) clearance (K781525) under the Traditional pathway, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* (SESE). The review was conducted by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee, reflecting its classification as a Class III device under FDA regulation 870.3680.
