Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Multilith 3 Models 1350, 3350, 1370, and 3370 are implantable pacemaker pulse-generators designed to regulate cardiac rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to the heart. These devices are intended for patients requiring temporary or permanent pacing support, ensuring consistent and reliable cardiac function in conditions such as bradycardia or conduction disorders.
These pulse-generators are supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation, adhering to Class III regulatory standards under FDA 510(k) clearance (K863898). They are manufactured by Ela Medical, Inc., and comply with the regulatory requirements outlined in 21 CFR 870.3610. Each model is tailored for specific patient needs, with variations in programming and functionality, and must be handled under aseptic conditions prior to use.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Are these pacemaker pulse-generators reusable or intended for single-use, and why does that matter in clinical settings?
The Multilith 3 Models (1350, 3350, 1370, 3370) are explicitly designed for single-use implantation and supplied sterile. This is critical because implantable devices must adhere to strict aseptic protocols to prevent infection, and single-use models eliminate cross-contamination risks between patients. Reuse could compromise sterility and patient safety, so these devices are not intended for reprocessing.
What distinguishes the different models (1350, 3350, 1370, 3370) from one another in terms of functionality?
While the exact functional differences aren’t detailed in the data, the models are tailored for specific patient needs as noted in the description. Variations in programming and pacing capabilities likely differentiate them—for example, one model may prioritize temporary support, while another offers permanent pacing. Clinicians should consult the manufacturer’s documentation for precise model-specific features, such as pacing modes or battery longevity.
How should these devices be stored before implantation, and what precautions should be taken?
Since the Multilith 3 pulse-generators are sterile and single-use, they must be stored in their original packaging under aseptic conditions to maintain sterility. Exposure to moisture, contamination, or physical damage could compromise integrity. The manufacturer’s instructions should specify storage temperature and environmental controls, but generally, they should be kept in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures until ready for use.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance, and how does that affect their use in clinical practice?
The Multilith 3 models received FDA 510(k) clearance (K863898) under the Traditional 510(k) Review pathway, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* to a predicate device. This means the FDA determined they meet the same performance standards as an existing approved pacemaker pulse-generator. Clinically, this clearance ensures the device complies with 21 CFR 870.3610 and has undergone rigorous testing for safety and effectiveness, but practitioners should always verify compatibility with their institution’s protocols and patient-specific needs.
