Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Siemens-Elema Pulse Generator 659 in clinical settings?
The Siemens-Elema Pulse Generator 659 is designed to regulate heart rhythm by delivering electrical impulses to patients with bradycardia or other cardiac conduction disorders. It serves as an implantable pacemaker component to ensure consistent and reliable cardiac stimulation, helping maintain proper heart function in patients requiring chronic pacing support.
Is the Siemens-Elema Pulse Generator 659 intended for single-use or reusable applications?
The device is explicitly described as a reusable component within a pacemaker system. It is not intended for single-use and must be handled in sterile conditions during implantation by qualified medical professionals, as it is implanted directly into the patient.
How is the regulatory status of this device determined, and what does that mean for its use?
The Siemens-Elema Pulse Generator 659 was granted FDA 510(k) clearance (K813576) with a decision of *Substantially Equivalent* to a predicate device. This means the FDA determined it meets the same performance standards as an existing approved pacemaker pulse generator, ensuring its safety and effectiveness for use in cardiac pacing applications under the specified regulatory framework (870.3610).
What type of clinical environment or setting is required for implantation of this device?
The device must be implanted by qualified medical professionals in a clinical setting, as it is intended for sterile conditions. This ensures proper surgical techniques and adherence to infection control protocols during the procedure, which is critical for an implantable medical device like this pulse generator.
Are there specific models or variations of the Siemens-Elema Pulse Generator 659, or is it a singular device?
The provided data describes the device as a single model: the Siemens-Elema Pulse Generator 659, without mentioning specific variants or sizes. However, it is classified under OpenFDA’s registration numbers and product code (DXY) for *Implantable Pacemaker Pulse-Generators*, which may include related configurations or updates over time—always verify with the manufacturer for current offerings.
