## Indications for Use

Model 6017: It is designed to join CPI bipolar leads having 3.2mm inline connectors to 5mm (4.75) bifurcated bipolar terminals. Model 6018: It is a single barrel adapter that is designed to join CPI unipolar leads having a 6mm (5.38) unipolar connector to 3.2mm low profile unipolar terminal. Model 6020: It is a single barrel adapter that is designed to join CPI unipolar leads having a 5mm (4.75) unipolar connector to 3.2mm low profile unipolar terminal.

## Device Story

Pacemaker lead adapters (Models 6017, 6018, 6020) serve as mechanical interfaces between cardiac pacing leads and pulse generators. Device facilitates electrical continuity when lead connector dimensions differ from pulse generator terminal dimensions. Used in clinical settings by physicians during pacemaker implantation or lead revision procedures. Adapters allow continued use of existing leads when upgrading or replacing pulse generators, avoiding unnecessary lead extraction. Output is a secure physical and electrical connection between lead and generator.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Passive mechanical adapters. Models 6017, 6018, 6020. Designed for specific connector sizes: 3.2mm, 5mm (4.75), and 6mm (5.38). Function as physical bridges for electrical signals between leads and pulse generators. No energy source, software, or active components.

## Regulatory Identification

A pacemaker lead adaptor is a device used to adapt a pacemaker lead so that it can be connected to a pacemaker pulse generator produced by a different manufacturer.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance for the Submission of Research and Marketing Applications for Permanent Pacemaker Leads and for Pacemaker Lead Adaptor 510(k) Submissions.”
