LEAD 4968-60 US BIPOLAR EPICARDIAL 60CM


Product Overview

LEAD 4968
Capsure® EPI - 4968-60


Device Description

An implantable flexible wire with an electrode, insulated with non-conductive material except at its ends, which serves as an electrical conductor to transmit pacing impulses from an implanted pacemaker to the heart. It may also transmit electrical responses from the heart back to the pacemaker; it is not intended to conduct defibrillation impulses. The electrode end is normally implanted in the outer surface of the heart (epicardium) in close contact to the wall of one of the chambers of the heart (endocardium), and the other end is connected to the pacemaker. It may be impregnated with a steroid (e.g., dexamethasone) intended to elute into the tissues to reduce inflammation.

    Code: NVY

    Device Name: Permanent Defibrillator Electrodes

    Device Class: 3

    Physical State: The device is a flexible, insulated electrical conductor with one end designed to make a secure connection to an ICD or CRT-D and the other end located in a position which directs defibrillation energy to the heart

    Definition: Permanent defibrillator electrodes are used with compatible implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac rhythm therapy-defibrillators (CRT-D) to sense the cardiac rhythm and to deliver high energy therapy to the heart when tachycardia is detected. Some transvenous models can also be used for pacing the right ventricle.
