Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Heart Aid Model 97 is an external transcutaneous (non-invasive) cardiac pacemaker, designed to deliver temporary pacing stimulation to the heart. It is classified as a Class II Cardiovascular device under FDA product code DRO and is intended for use in emergency cardiac pacing scenarios where internal pacing is not feasible or available. The device provides external pacing to maintain cardiac rhythm and support circulation during critical situations.
This device is supplied as a reusable medical instrument and is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance K850170, granted through the Traditional 510(k) pathway. It is intended for use in clinical settings such as emergency rooms, pre-hospital environments, and cardiac care units. The Heart Aid Model 97 is not sterile and requires proper cleaning and maintenance between uses. No specific MRI safety information is provided in the available data.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the Heart Aid Model 97 used for?
The Heart Aid Model 97 is an external transcutaneous (non-invasive) cardiac pacemaker designed to provide temporary pacing stimulation to the heart. It is specifically intended for emergency cardiac pacing scenarios where internal pacing is not feasible or available, helping to maintain cardiac rhythm and support circulation during critical situations in settings like emergency rooms, pre-hospital environments, or cardiac care units.
Is the Heart Aid Model 97 single-use or reusable?
The Heart Aid Model 97 is supplied as a reusable medical instrument. It is not sterile and requires proper cleaning and maintenance between uses to ensure safe and effective operation. Regular maintenance is essential to comply with clinical protocols and regulatory requirements.
What regulatory pathway does the Heart Aid Model 97 follow?
The Heart Aid Model 97 is regulated under the FDA’s Traditional 510(k) pathway and holds clearance K850170. It is classified as a Class II Cardiovascular device under FDA product code DRO, with a decision of Substantially Equivalent (SESE) by the Cardiovascular Advisory Committee. This clearance confirms its equivalence to a predicate device and compliance with FDA standards for external transcutaneous pacemakers.
How should the Heart Aid Model 97 be stored?
While the device is reusable, it is not sterile and must be cleaned and maintained between uses. Storage should follow manufacturer guidelines to prevent contamination and ensure proper functionality. Specific storage conditions, such as temperature or humidity, are not detailed in the provided data, but standard clinical protocols for reusable medical devices should be followed.
Does the Heart Aid Model 97 have any MRI safety information?
The available data for the Heart Aid Model 97 does not provide any specific MRI safety information. Clinicians should exercise caution when using or storing the device near MRI equipment, as external transcutaneous pacemakers may interact with magnetic fields. Always consult the manufacturer’s instructions or local protocols for MRI-safe handling.
