510(k) K781623
Overview
The Pacing Models Mum 860 and Mum 890 are permanent pacemaker electrodes designed for cardiac rhythm management. These devices are intended for implantation to regulate abnormal heart rhythms by delivering electrical impulses to the heart muscle, ensuring proper pacing and synchronization of cardiac contractions.
These electrodes are supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation in clinical settings. They are classified as Class III medical devices under FDA regulations and were granted 510(k) clearance through a traditional review process by the Cardiovascular Advisory Committee. The devices are regulated under the Federal Device Code 870.3680 and are intended for use in cardiovascular procedures.

Questions
Are the Mum 860 and Mum 890 pacemaker electrodes designed for reuse in clinical settings, or are they intended for single-use only?
The Mum 860 and Mum 890 pacemaker electrodes are explicitly supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation only. This is clearly stated in the device description, ensuring they meet clinical standards for sterile, one-time-use medical devices.
What types of heart conditions or arrhythmias are these electrodes intended to address, and how do they function?
These electrodes are permanent pacemaker electrodes designed to regulate abnormal heart rhythms by delivering electrical impulses to the heart muscle. They ensure proper pacing and synchronization of cardiac contractions, which is critical for patients with bradycardia or other conduction disorders requiring chronic rhythm management.
How are these devices classified under FDA regulations, and what was the review process for their clearance?
The Mum 860 and Mum 890 are classified as Class III medical devices under FDA regulations, requiring a 510(k) clearance through a traditional review process. They were reviewed by the Cardiovascular Advisory Committee and granted clearance under the Federal Device Code 870.3680, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* (SESE).
What storage or handling precautions should be taken for these electrodes before implantation?
Since the electrodes are supplied sterile, they must be stored in their original packaging until use to maintain sterility. As they are intended for single-use, they should not be reused or restocked after opening. Proper sterile field protocols should be followed during implantation to prevent contamination.
