Intended Use
The Balloon Temporary Pacing catheter is indicated for use in temporary transvenous ventricular cardiac pacing when impulse formation or conduction is impaired.
Device Story
Temporary transvenous ventricular cardiac pacing catheter with integrated balloon; used for patients with impaired cardiac impulse formation or conduction. Device inserted into venous system by physician; balloon facilitates flow-directed placement into ventricle. Provides electrical pacing therapy to heart. Used in clinical settings (e.g., hospital, cardiac catheterization lab). Benefits patient by restoring cardiac rhythm during temporary conduction disturbances.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Temporary transvenous pacing catheter featuring an integrated balloon for flow-directed placement. Mechanical device; no electronic or software components. Materials and sterilization methods consistent with standard temporary pacing catheters.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring temporary transvenous ventricular cardiac pacing due to impaired impulse formation or conduction. No specific age or gender restrictions provided.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Temporary pacemaker electrode: A device consisting of flexible insulated electrical conductors with one end connected to an external pacemaker pulse generator and the other end applied to the heart. The device is used to transmit a pacing electrical stimulus from the pulse generator to the heart and/or to transmit the electrical signal of the heart to the pulse generator. Permanent pacemaker electrode: A device consisting of flexible insulated electrical conductors with one end connected to an implantable pacemaker pulse generator and the other end applied to the heart. The device is used to transmit a pacing electrical stimulus from the pulse generator to the heart and/or to transmit the electrical signal of the heart to the pulse generator.

Dear Mr. Guzzo:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
