Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
This device is an Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generator, a Class III medical device designed to regulate abnormal heart rhythms by delivering electrical impulses to the heart muscle. It is intended for patients with bradycardia, tachycardia, or other cardiac conduction disorders requiring chronic pacing support.
The device is implanted subcutaneously in the chest and is available in multiple model variants as indicated by the registration numbers. Supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation, it requires surgical placement by a qualified healthcare professional. Compliance with FDA 510(k) clearance (K871992) and regulatory classification under 870.3610 ensures adherence to cardiovascular device standards.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What types of heart conditions is this implantable pulse generator designed to treat, and how does it work?
This device is specifically designed to manage bradycardia, tachycardia, and other cardiac conduction disorders by delivering controlled electrical impulses to the heart muscle. It functions as an implantable pacemaker, regulating abnormal heart rhythms through chronic pacing support. The device is surgically implanted under the skin in the chest and continuously monitors and adjusts heart rate as needed.
Are multiple model variants available, and if so, how do I identify which one is right for my patient?
Yes, this device comes in multiple model variants, each corresponding to a unique registration number (e.g., 2017865, 3005334138, etc.). While the exact specifications for each variant are not detailed here, the product code (DXY) and regulatory classification (870.3610) indicate these are implantable programmable cardiac pulse generators for chronic pacing. Consult the manufacturer’s documentation or a cardiologist to select the appropriate model based on patient needs, pacing requirements, and compatibility.
Is this device intended for single-use or can it be reused after implantation?
This device is sterile and intended for single-use implantation only. It is not designed for reuse, and surgical implantation requires sterile conditions. Reuse could compromise patient safety and device efficacy, so adherence to single-use guidelines is mandatory.
How is this device regulated in the U.S., and what does the FDA clearance (K871992) mean for its use?
This device holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K871992), meaning it was determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device under the Traditional 510(k) review pathway. The clearance confirms compliance with FDA cardiovascular device standards and ensures it meets safety and effectiveness requirements for implantable pacemaker pulse generators. The advisory committee (CV) and product code (DXY) further classify it under cardiovascular devices, but clearance does not imply indication—only that it follows regulatory pathways for chronic pacing applications.
What storage or handling precautions should be taken before implantation?
Since the device is sterile and single-use, it must be stored in its original packaging until implantation to maintain sterility. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical damage. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for unpacking and handling to prevent contamination, as compromised sterility could risk infection during surgery.
