Questions
AI-generated answers, 20 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the peelable cathode design in this pacemaker lead, and how does it benefit the surgical procedure?
The peelable cathode design on the Fix Screw Pac Lead/ Peel Cath allows surgeons to precisely position the lead during implantation. This feature enables the removal of the outer protective sheath before final placement, ensuring accurate lead placement while maintaining sterility and reducing the risk of tissue damage during insertion.
Is this device intended for reuse, or is it meant to be implanted permanently as a single-use item? How should it be handled to maintain sterility?
This device is explicitly designed for single-use implantation only and is supplied sterile. To preserve sterility before use, it must be stored and handled according to standard sterile medical device protocols, ensuring the packaging remains intact until deployment in the operating room.
What type of fixation mechanism does this pacemaker lead use, and why is this important for long-term reliability?
The Fix Screw Pac Lead/ Peel Cath incorporates a screw mechanism for fixation within heart tissue. This design ensures stable electrical contact and secure anchoring, which is critical for reliable pacing therapy over the long term, reducing the risk of lead dislodgment or failure.
What regulatory pathway was followed for this device, and which advisory committee reviewed its submission?
This device was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway under the classification of Device Class III for permanent pacemaker electrodes. The submission was reviewed by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee, with a decision dated September 23, 1991, confirming it as substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
