Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary clinical purpose of the Prima Unipolar Cardiac Pulse Generator, and how does it achieve this?
The Prima Unipolar Cardiac Pulse Generator is designed to regulate abnormal slow heart rhythms (bradycardia) or cardiac conduction disorders by delivering controlled electrical impulses to the heart muscle. It functions as an implantable pacemaker, stimulating the heart at a preset rate to maintain proper cardiac rhythm when the natural conduction system fails.
Is this device intended for reuse after a single implantation, and what does that mean for clinical workflows?
Yes, the Prima Unipolar Cardiac Pulse Generator is supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation only. This means each device is meant to be implanted once in a patient and should not be reused, ensuring patient safety and sterility. Clinicians should follow standard sterile procedures during implantation and dispose of the device appropriately after use.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of this device, and what does that imply about its safety and equivalence?
The Prima Unipolar Cardiac Pulse Generator received FDA clearance through a Traditional 510(k) pathway, with a decision of Substantially Equivalent (SESE) to a predicate device. This implies that the device’s design and performance were determined to be as safe and effective as a previously cleared pacemaker, meeting FDA standards for implantable cardiac devices under Class III regulatory classification.
Are there specific models or reference codes associated with this device, and why might that matter for ordering or inventory?
Yes, the device is tracked using multiple FEI numbers (e.g., 3002807576, 2017865, etc.) and registration numbers (e.g., 2017865, 3005334138) for regulatory and inventory purposes. These identifiers help ensure traceability, compliance with reporting requirements, and accurate ordering of the correct model for surgical implantation.
Can patients with this device safely undergo MRI procedures, and what considerations should be taken?
The Prima Unipolar Cardiac Pulse Generator adheres to MRI safety guidelines as outlined in its regulatory submissions, meaning it is designed to be compatible with magnetic resonance imaging when implanted. However, clinicians should follow the manufacturer’s specific MRI safety instructions—such as using approved MRI protocols and avoiding high-field strengths—to minimize risks to the patient during imaging.
