Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator is an implantable pacemaker pulse-generator, classified under the FDA’s device type for cardiac rhythm management. It delivers timed electrical impulses to regulate heart rhythm in patients with bradycardia or conduction disorders, ensuring consistent cardiac pacing through programmable settings for pacing rate, output, and timing parameters.
This device is intended for surgical implantation and is designed for single-use. It is regulated under FDA’s 510(k) clearance (K780430) as substantially equivalent to predicate devices, adhering to classification DXY under regulation 870.3610. Supplied sterile and packaged for clinical use, it requires proper handling and storage as per manufacturer guidelines to maintain functionality and sterility before and after implantation.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What clinical conditions is the Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator designed to address in patients?
The Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator is designed to regulate heart rhythm in patients with bradycardia (slow heart rate) or conduction disorders, delivering timed electrical impulses to maintain consistent cardiac pacing. Its programmable settings allow adjustments to pacing rate, output, and timing parameters to meet individual patient needs.
Is the Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator intended for reuse, or is it meant to be used only once?
The Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator is explicitly designed for single-use only after surgical implantation. This ensures patient safety and sterility, as it is supplied sterile and packaged for clinical use without any indication of reprocessing or reuse.
How should the Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator be stored to maintain its functionality and sterility?
The device must be stored according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to preserve sterility and functionality. Since it is supplied sterile and packaged for clinical use, proper handling—including protection from contamination, moisture, and extreme temperatures—is critical before and after implantation. Always follow Medcor’s storage instructions to avoid compromising performance.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator?
The Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator received FDA 510(k) clearance (K780430) under the traditional review pathway, classified as substantially equivalent to predicate devices. It falls under FDA classification DXY (Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generator) and adheres to regulation 870.3610, with review by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee.
Are there multiple models or sizes available for the Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator?
The provided data does not specify distinct models or sizes for the Lithicron F Programmable Pulse Generator. However, it is classified as an implantable pacemaker pulse-generator, so its design likely accommodates standard pacing requirements for bradycardia or conduction disorders. For exact specifications, refer to Medcor’s official product documentation.
