Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Are the Multilith Pulse Generators 1141 & 2141 intended for single-use or can they be reused after implantation?
The Multilith Pulse Generators 1141 & 2141 are designed as reusable devices, meaning they are intended to remain implanted in the patient long-term and are not meant for single-use. They are supplied sterile and are classified as implantable pacemaker pulse-generators, which are typically intended for permanent cardiac rhythm regulation.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of these pulse generators, and what does that mean for their use in clinical settings?
The Multilith Pulse Generators 1141 & 2141 received FDA 510(k) clearance under the classification K842193, with a decision of Substantially Equivalent (SESE). This means the FDA determined they are as safe and effective as a legally marketed device that served as a predicate, ensuring compliance with stringent safety and performance standards for Class III implantable pacemaker systems. Their regulatory category (870.3610) and advisory committee review (Cardiovascular) confirm their high-risk, life-sustaining classification.
How are the Multilith Pulse Generators 1141 & 2141 supplied, and what should clinicians consider regarding sterility and handling?
The devices are supplied as sterile, reusable pulse generators, meaning they are pre-sterilized for implantation and intended to remain implanted in the patient. Clinicians should follow manufacturer guidelines for aseptic handling during implantation to maintain sterility, as these are high-risk, implantable devices requiring careful preparation to prevent infection or contamination.
What types of cardiac conditions are these pulse generators intended to address, and how do they function?
The Multilith Pulse Generators 1141 & 2141 are designed to regulate cardiac rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to the heart, specifically for patients requiring cardiac pacing support. They are not intended for any specific diagnosis but rather for patients with conditions causing abnormal heart rhythms (e.g., bradycardia) where pacing is clinically indicated. Their function aligns with standard implantable pacemaker systems to maintain proper heart rate and rhythm.
