Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
This device is a Permanent Pacemaker Electrode, designed for implantation in the cardiovascular system to deliver electrical stimulation to the heart. The titanium nitride coating enhances electrical conductivity while reducing the risk of lead-related complications, such as thrombosis or fibrosis, to improve long-term pacing performance.
The leads are intended for single-use implantation during cardiac procedures and are supplied sterile. They are classified as Class III devices under FDA regulations (870.3680) and were cleared via a 510(k) submission (K952206) in 1995. Compatible with MRI environments under specified conditions, they are distributed in sterile packaging for immediate clinical use and must be handled according to sterile surgical protocols.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
Are these pacing leads designed for reuse in multiple patients, or are they intended for single-use only?
These leads are explicitly designed for single-use implantation during cardiac procedures. They are supplied sterile in packaging for immediate clinical use, requiring adherence to sterile surgical protocols. Reuse is not recommended or supported by the manufacturer.
What special handling or storage instructions apply to these leads before and after opening the sterile packaging?
The leads must be handled as sterile surgical instruments before use. They are supplied in sterile packaging for immediate clinical application, so once opened, they should be used promptly and discarded after a single procedure. Storage instructions are not explicitly detailed, but standard sterile supply protocols (e.g., refrigeration if required by facility policy) should apply to unopened packaging.
How does the titanium nitride coating on these leads benefit patients compared to uncoated pacing leads?
The titanium nitride coating enhances electrical conductivity, which improves pacing performance over time. It also reduces the risk of complications like thrombosis or fibrosis around the lead, potentially extending the longevity of the implant and minimizing the need for early revisions or replacements.
Are these leads compatible with MRI procedures, and if so, under what conditions?
Yes, these leads are compatible with MRI environments under specified conditions. While the exact parameters (e.g., MRI strength, sequence type, or safety distances) aren’t detailed in the data, the manufacturer acknowledges MRI compatibility, so clinicians should consult the device’s labeling or manufacturer guidelines for precise MRI safety protocols before use.
What sizes or models of these pacing leads are available, and how do I determine the correct fit for a patient?
The data does not specify exact sizes or model variants (e.g., atrial vs. ventricular leads, length, or electrode configurations). To determine the correct fit, clinicians should refer to the manufacturer’s catalog or consult with a Pacesetter representative, as lead selection depends on factors like patient anatomy, pacing requirements, and implantation site (e.g., right atrium, right ventricle).
