Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
This device is an External Pulse-Generator Pacemaker (Product Code: DTE), designed to provide temporary cardiac pacing support. It delivers electrical impulses to regulate heart rhythm in patients experiencing bradycardia or other temporary conduction disorders, ensuring short-term stabilization during clinical procedures or post-operative recovery.
The Model EC4542G is intended for in-hospital use only and is operated by qualified medical personnel. Supplied as a single-use or reusable device (sterility not specified in data), it requires immediate availability of defibrillation equipment, intravenous infusion, intubation, and oxygen administration. Regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K896352) as a Class II device under Special Controls, it adheres to 21 CFR 870.3600 for external pulse-generator pacemakers. No MRI safety information or specific storage conditions are provided in the regulatory data.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What is the primary use of the Model EC4542G Miniature External Pulse-Generator Pacemaker, and where is it intended to be used?
The Model EC4542G is designed to provide temporary cardiac pacing support for patients experiencing bradycardia or other temporary conduction disorders, helping stabilize heart rhythm during clinical procedures or post-operative recovery. It is explicitly intended for in-hospital use only and must be operated by qualified medical personnel. The device ensures short-term stabilization but requires immediate availability of additional life-support equipment like defibrillation, intravenous infusion, intubation, and oxygen administration.
Is the Model EC4542G meant for single-use or can it be reused, and what does the manufacturer specify about sterility?
The regulatory data for the Model EC4542G indicates it can be supplied as either single-use or reusable, but it does not explicitly specify sterility requirements. Hospitals must follow their own infection control protocols to ensure safe reuse if applicable. Since it is an external device, sterility is less critical than with implanted devices, but proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for reusable units.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of this device, and what class does it fall under?
The Model EC4542G was cleared through the traditional 510(k) pathway under FDA clearance number K896352, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* (SESE). It is classified as a Class II device under 21 CFR 870.3600, which governs external pulse-generator pacemakers. The clearance was reviewed by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee in 1990.
Are there any special storage conditions or MRI safety considerations mentioned for this device?
The provided regulatory data does not specify any special storage conditions or MRI safety information for the Model EC4542G. Users should follow general hospital protocols for electrical medical devices, ensuring proper handling and storage to maintain functionality. Since it is an external device, MRI safety is not a primary concern unless the patient requires imaging while using it.
