Overview
The Swan-Ganz Bipolar Pacing Catheter is a flow-directed catheter designed for temporary right ventricular endocardial pacing. It features a distal balloon that facilitates insertion by flow-direction and a pair of electrodes at the tip for bipolar pacing and electrocardiographic monitoring.
This intravascular catheter is inserted through the central vein to connect to the right side of the heart and advance towards the pulmonary artery. It provides temporary electrical cardiac stimulation to facilitate return to and/or continuance of normal cardiac rhythm. The device is classified as a Class II catheter and has FDA 510(k) clearance with the product code DYG.
