Approval Order Statement
Approval for the Medtronic.Kappa(TM) 700/600 Series Pacemakers, which include; Medtronic.Kappa(TM) Kdr 701, 703, 706, 721, 731, 733, 601, 603, and 606; Kd 701, 703, and 706; Kvdd 701; and Ksr 701, 703, and 706 implantable pacemakers with Medtronic.Vision (Model 9953E) Software. These devices are indicated for the following: Rate adaptive pacing in patients who may benefit from increase pacing rates concurrent with increases in activity; Accepted patient conditions warranting chronic cardiac pacing which include: - Symptomatic parosysmal or permanents second or third-degree AV block; - Symptomatic bilateral bundle branch block; - Symptomatic paroxysmal or transient sinus node dysfunctions with or without assocated AV conduction disorders; - Bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome to prevent symptomatic bradycardia or some forms of symptomatic tachyarrhythmias; - Vasovagal syndromes or hypersensitive carotid sinus syndromes. In addition, Medtronic.Kappa(TM) 700/600 Series pacemakers are also indicated for dual chamber and atrial tracking modes in patients who may benefit from maintenance of AV synchrony. Dual chamber modes are specifically indicated for treatment of conduction disorders that require restoration of both rate and AV synchrony, which include: -various degrees of AV block to maintain the atrial contribution to cardiac output; -VVI intolerance (e.g., pacemaker syndrome) in the presence of persistent sinus rhythm. Medtronic.Kappa(TM) 700/600 Series pacemakers are also indicated for VDD modes in patients having adequate atrial rates and the following indications: - Requirements for ventricular pacing when adequate atrial rates and adequate intracavitary atrial complexes are present. This includes the presence of complete AV block when atrial contribution is needed for hemodynamic benefit or when pacemaker syndrome has existed or is anticipated. Normal sinus rhythm and normal AV conduction in patients needing ventricular pacing intermittently. |
