Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Model C Unipolar Endocardial Lead is classified as a Permanent Pacemaker Electrode, designed for implantation within the heart to deliver electrical stimulation. It facilitates cardiac pacing by transmitting electrical impulses to the endocardium, ensuring proper heart rhythm regulation for patients with bradycardia or conduction disorders.
This lead is intended for single-use implantation in cardiac pacing procedures, supplied sterile and intended for use in clinical settings by trained medical professionals. It is categorized under FDA 510(k) clearance with a traditional review pathway, adhering to regulatory standards for Class III medical devices. The lead is available in specified reference codes and is regulated under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s device classification system for permanent pacemaker electrodes.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Model C Unipolar Endocardial Lead and how does it function in the body?
The Model C Unipolar Endocardial Lead is designed to deliver electrical stimulation directly to the endocardium (the inner lining of the heart chambers) to regulate heart rhythm. It is used in patients with bradycardia (slow heart rate) or conduction disorders, ensuring proper pacing by transmitting controlled electrical impulses to maintain a consistent heartbeat.
Is this lead intended for single-use or can it be reused after implantation?
The Model C Unipolar Endocardial Lead is explicitly intended for single-use implantation only. It is supplied sterile and meant for one-time use in cardiac pacing procedures, adhering to clinical best practices for infection control and device performance.
How is the lead supplied, and what should clinicians consider when handling it?
The lead is supplied sterile and packaged for clinical use by trained medical professionals. Since it is single-use, clinicians must ensure proper aseptic techniques during implantation to prevent contamination. The sterile packaging protects the lead until immediate use, and any unused portions should be discarded per facility protocols.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of this device, and which advisory committee was involved?
The Model C Unipolar Endocardial Lead received FDA 510(k) clearance through the traditional review pathway, determined to be *substantially equivalent* to a predicate device. The Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee was involved in the review process, as indicated by the classification under FDA’s device code for permanent pacemaker electrodes (DTB).
Are there multiple sizes or models available for this lead, and how would a clinician determine the correct one for a patient?
While the provided data lists multiple FEI numbers (e.g., 3002618605, 1028232) associated with this lead, these are registration identifiers rather than distinct size or model variations. The lead itself is a single design (Model C) intended for unipolar endocardial pacing. Selection should be based on clinical indication, patient anatomy, and compatibility with the implanted pacemaker system, as determined by the physician.
