## Indications for Use

The ERA 300 is intended for use during invasive pacemaker procedures in the following activities: . Temporary External Pacing Provides temporary stimulation under DDD, DDI, DOO, VVI, VDD, VOO, AAI, or AOO modalities during implantable pacemaker procedures or physician evaluations. . Lead Threshold Determination Determines in situ lead characteristics of impedance, capture threshold, P/R wave amplitude and P/R wave slew rate. Determines the in vivo retrograde conduction time. . Pacemaker Function Test Tests and analyzes the in vitro operation of external or implantable pulse generators. Determines the following parameters: pulse amplitude and width, sensitivity, refractory period, A/V delay, and rate/interval.

## Device Story

ERA 300 is a portable, dual-chamber pacing system analyzer; used during invasive pacemaker implantation or troubleshooting. Device functions as temporary external pulse generator or diagnostic tool for lead/generator evaluation. Inputs include electrical signals from pacing leads or pulse generators. Device processes signals to measure impedance, capture threshold, P/R wave amplitude/slew rate, retrograde conduction time, and pulse generator parameters (amplitude, width, sensitivity, refractory period, AV delay, rate/interval). Operated by physicians in clinical settings. Output displayed for clinician review to guide pacing therapy adjustments and ensure proper device function. Touch-proof configuration prevents hazardous electrical connections. Modification involves sourcing 8V battery from alternative supplier (pbq) meeting original BIOTRONIK specifications.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only; verification that the alternative battery meets all existing performance specifications.

## Technological Characteristics

Portable, dual-chamber pacing system analyzer. Touch-proof electrical configuration. Powered by 8V battery. Performs electrical signal analysis for pacing lead and pulse generator testing. No changes to core sensing/actuation technology.

## Regulatory Identification

A pacemaker electrode function tester is a device which is connected to an implanted pacemaker lead that supplies an accurately calibrated, variable pacing pulse for measuring the patient's pacing threshold and intracardiac R-wave potential.

### General Description:

The ERA 300 is a portable, dual chamber pacing system analyzer designed to test the electrical performance of the pulse generator and the pacing lead system or operate as a temporary external pulse generator at the time of pacemaker implantation and during invasive pacemaker troubleshooting or evaluation procedures. The ERA 300 utilizes a touch-proof configuration to help prevent hazardous connection between patients and electrical power sources.

### Device Modifications:

The 8 Volt battery currently supplied with the ERA 300 Pacing System Analyzer (PSA) is manufactured by Panasonic. However, in the future this supplier will no longer manufacture this battery model. Therefore, an additional supplier for the 8 Volt battery supplied with the ERA 300 PSA was identified, pbq. The pbq manufactured battery meets the same internal BIOTRONIK specifications including purchasing specifications, incoming inspection, and performance specifications.

### Predicate Devices:

BIOTRONIK proposes the following predicate device for the battery modification to the ERA 300 Pacing System Analyzer:

Dear Mr. Brumbaugh:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.
