It is inserted into a pacemaker lead to allow the physician to manually define and vary the curvature of the lead's distal portion during cardiac pacing lead implantation. Used in a clinical setting by a physician; the device provides mechanical support and shape-adjustment capabilities to facilitate lead placement. It does not involve electronic processing or automated outputs; it functions as a manual surgical instrument. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Sterile, single-use, disposable catheter stylet. Mechanical device designed for manual manipulation of pacemaker lead curvature. No electronic components, software, or energy sources. ## Regulatory Identification A catheter stylet is a wire that is run through a catheter or cannula to render it stiff. ## Predicate Devices - The Locator Steerable Stylet, Model 4036 ([K972814](/device/K972814.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. {2}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Mr. James Jenkins Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646.
