Product Classification

• Device: pulse generator, external pacemaker, dual chamber
• Regulation Description: External pacemaker pulse generator.
• Definition: A dual chamber external pacemaker is intended to provide temporary dual chamber cardiac pacing as a substitute for the heart's intrinsic pacing system until a permanent pacemaker can be implanted, or to control irregular heartbeats following cardiac surgery or a myocardial infarction.
• Physical State: A system generally includes the pulse generator, extension cables, and adaptors. The pulse generator has a power supply and electronic components capable of data input, data output, and data processing.
• Technical Method: The device is used with either an endocardial (transluminal) or epicardial cardiac pacing leads system to deliver a period electrical pulse which stimulates the heart.
• Target Area: This device is used in the right atrium and right ventricle only.
