Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Pulse Generator 728, 728B, and 728L is an Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generator, a Class III medical device designed to regulate cardiac rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to the heart. These devices are intended for patients requiring pacing support, including those with bradycardia or conduction system disorders, ensuring consistent and reliable cardiac function.
These pulse generators are single-use, non-sterile devices supplied as part of a cardiovascular implant system. They are regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K841226) and classified under product code DXY, with a decision of Substantially Equivalent issued in 1984. The devices are intended for use in controlled clinical settings, such as operating rooms or electrophysiology labs, and require proper handling and disposal as medical waste.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What types of patients is the Pulse Generator 728 series intended to support, and how does it work?
The Pulse Generator 728, 728B, and 728L are designed for patients with bradycardia or conduction system disorders who require pacing support. These devices regulate cardiac rhythm by delivering precise electrical impulses to the heart, ensuring consistent and reliable heart function. They are specifically classified as Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generators and are intended for use in controlled clinical settings like operating rooms or electrophysiology labs.
Are these devices single-use or reusable, and what does that mean for handling and disposal?
The Pulse Generator 728 series is explicitly labeled as single-use devices. This means each unit is intended for one-time use in a single patient and must be disposed of as medical waste after implantation. Proper handling and disposal protocols must be followed to ensure patient safety and compliance with clinical waste regulations.
How are these devices supplied, and do they come sterile?
The Pulse Generator 728, 728B, and 728L are supplied as part of a cardiovascular implant system and are non-sterile. They are not intended for direct patient implantation without sterilization or preparation in a controlled clinical setting. Sterilization procedures must be performed prior to use, as dictated by standard medical practices for implantable devices.
What regulatory pathway was followed for clearance of these devices, and what does that mean for clinicians?
The Pulse Generator 728 series received FDA clearance through a Traditional 510(k) pathway, with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* (SESE) issued in 1984. This means the device was determined to be as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device (an earlier pacemaker pulse-generator). Clinicians can rely on this classification, which confirms the device’s compliance with FDA standards for Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generators under product code DXY.
What are the key differences between the 728, 728B, and 728L models, and how might a clinician choose between them?
The provided data does not specify technical differences between the 728, 728B, and 728L models beyond their shared classification as Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generators. However, the models are likely variations in design, programming capabilities, or battery life, which would be determined by the manufacturer’s technical documentation. Clinicians should consult the manufacturer’s instructions for detailed specifications, such as pacing modes, lead compatibility, or battery longevity, to select the appropriate model for a patient’s specific needs.
