Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Model B Bipolar Endocardial Lead in a pacemaker system?
The Model B Bipolar Endocardial Lead is designed to deliver electrical impulses to the heart muscle while enabling both sensing and pacing functions. Its bipolar configuration allows for precise cardiac rhythm management, making it suitable for use within a pacemaker system to help regulate abnormal heartbeats.
Is the Model B Bipolar Endocardial Lead intended for reuse or single-use after implantation?
The Model B Bipolar Endocardial Lead is supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation in the endocardium. It is not designed for reuse, adhering to regulatory standards for permanent pacemaker electrodes.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of this device, and what does that mean for its use?
The Model B Bipolar Endocardial Lead was cleared under the FDA 510(k) pathway (K811878) as *substantially equivalent* (SESE) to a predicate device. This means the FDA determined it has the same intended use and technological characteristics as a previously cleared device, ensuring it meets safety and effectiveness standards for cardiovascular applications under 21 CFR 870.3680.
How is the lead categorized in terms of medical specialty and regulatory classification?
The Model B Bipolar Endocardial Lead falls under the cardiovascular medical specialty and is classified as a Class III medical device, reflecting its role in life-sustaining or life-supporting functions. It is regulated under product code DTB for permanent pacemaker electrodes, with oversight by the FDA’s Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee.
