Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Intermedics Model 431-11 is a permanent pacemaker electrode designed for endocardial implantation. It delivers electrical stimulation to the heart’s endocardium, facilitating cardiac pacing in patients with bradycardia or conduction disorders. This device is classified as a permanent pacemaker lead, intended for chronic use within the cardiovascular system.
The Model 431-11 is supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation via venous access, typically positioned within the right atrium or ventricle. It is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K903948) and falls under device classification DTB, adhering to regulatory standards for Class III cardiovascular devices. Storage requires adherence to manufacturer guidelines for sterile packaging integrity, and its design complies with MRI safety considerations for pacemaker leads.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Intermedics Model 431-11 Implant Endocard Pac Lead, and where is it typically placed in the body?
The Intermedics Model 431-11 is designed for chronic endocardial pacing, delivering electrical stimulation to the heart’s inner lining (endocardium) to manage bradycardia or conduction disorders. It is implanted via venous access and positioned within the right atrium or ventricle for long-term use.
Is this device intended for single-use or reusable implantation, and how should it be stored?
The Model 431-11 is supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation only. Storage must follow manufacturer guidelines to maintain sterile packaging integrity, ensuring it remains uncontaminated before use.
What regulatory pathway does this pacemaker lead follow, and which advisory committee oversees its classification?
The device follows the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway (K903948) under Class III classification (DTB) for cardiovascular devices. Its regulatory oversight falls under the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee, reflecting its chronic use in the cardiovascular system.
Does this lead have any special considerations for MRI compatibility, and how does that affect its use?
Yes, the Model 431-11 is designed with MRI safety considerations for pacemaker leads in mind. This means it is engineered to minimize risks during MRI procedures, though specific protocols (e.g., field strength limits) should still be followed as per manufacturer instructions to ensure patient safety.
