Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Vasco Tip/Vascoflange device in clinical practice?
The Vasco Tip/Vascoflange is designed as a permanent pacemaker electrode to serve as the electrical interface between a pacemaker pulse generator and cardiac tissue. Its role is to deliver precise electrical stimulation to regulate heart rhythm in patients who require cardiac pacing, ensuring proper heart function in conditions like bradycardia or heart block.
Is the Vasco Tip/Vascoflange intended for single-use or can it be reused?
The device is explicitly labeled as reusable, meaning it is intended for multiple uses after proper sterilization and maintenance. However, it must be handled under sterile conditions during implantation and subsequent procedures to prevent infection or contamination, as required for medical implants.
What types of storage conditions should be followed for the Vasco Tip/Vascoflange?
While the provided data does not specify exact storage conditions, as a sterile medical implant, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment protected from moisture, dust, and physical damage. The manufacturer’s instructions (not detailed here) should be consulted for precise guidelines, but standard practices for implantable devices apply—such as avoiding extreme temperatures and ensuring packaging integrity until use.
How is the regulatory pathway for the Vasco Tip/Vascoflange defined?
The device holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K913831), classified under product code DTB (Permanent Pacemaker Electrode) and regulated under 21 CFR 870.3680. It was determined substantially equivalent to a predicate device by the FDA’s Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee, adhering to Class III medical device standards. This clearance confirms its compliance with safety and performance requirements for implantation in the cardiovascular system.
