The Polyflex Implantable Pacing Lead 476-07 is designed for transvenous implantation to deliver electrical stimulation to the heart, specifically targeting the right ventricle or atrium. It supports patients with bradycardia or conduction disorders by facilitating cardiac pacing during surgical procedures performed by trained healthcare professionals.
Is this device intended for single-use or can it be reused?
The Polyflex Implantable Pacing Lead 476-07 is explicitly supplied sterile and intended for single-use only. It must be handled under aseptic conditions to ensure sterility and functionality, as reuse is not supported by the manufacturer’s design or regulatory classification.
How should this device be stored to maintain its integrity?
Storage must follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to preserve sterility and functionality. While specific conditions aren’t detailed here, the lead’s single-use nature and sterile packaging imply it should be kept in its original, unopened packaging in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures until immediate use.
What regulatory pathway does this device follow, and which committee was involved?
The Polyflex Implantable Pacing Lead 476-07 was cleared via the FDA 510(k) process under the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* (SESE) in 1985. It falls under Device Class III, reflecting its critical role in life-sustaining or supporting functions.
Are there multiple models or sizes available for this lead?
The provided data does not specify varying sizes or models beyond the 476-07 designation, but the OpenFDA registration numbers suggest multiple lot/batch identifiers exist for manufacturing consistency. For exact sizing options (e.g., coil length, electrode placement), consult the manufacturer’s technical documentation or catalog.
