Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Is the Model 433-01 Biopore Implantable Pacing Lead designed for reuse or single-use in clinical settings?
The Model 433-01 Biopore Implantable Pacing Lead is explicitly intended for single-use implantation within the cardiovascular system. It is supplied sterile and meant for use in clinical settings by trained healthcare professionals, ensuring patient safety and sterility standards are maintained.
What storage requirements must be followed to ensure the lead remains functional and sterile?
The lead must be stored according to manufacturer guidelines to preserve sterility and functionality. Since it is supplied sterile and intended for single-use, proper storage conditions are critical to prevent contamination or degradation before implantation.
How is this device classified under FDA regulations, and what pathway was used for its clearance?
The Model 433-01 Biopore Implantable Pacing Lead is classified as a Class III device under regulation 870.3680 and was cleared via the traditional review pathway (510(k)) by the FDA. It was determined to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device, as noted in the clearance documentation.
What type of patients is this lead intended to support, and how does its design address biocompatibility?
This lead is designed for patients with bradycardia or conduction disorders requiring transvenous pacing. Its biocompatible design minimizes tissue reaction, reducing the risk of adverse responses during long-term implantation, which is critical for permanent pacemaker applications.
