The summary describes a manufacturing modification to existing pacemaker leads and focuses on material biocompatibility and mechanical testing. There is no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
Explanation: The device is described as "pacing leads" and "implantable pulse generators" which are used for "single or dual chamber pacemaker therapy" and "pacing and sensing in the ventricle or atrium." These functions directly involve therapeutic interventions for cardiac rhythm management.
No
The device, described as pacemaker leads (POLYROX PX and PX-JBP endocardial leads, BIOTRONIK TIR 60/53 UP/BP and TIJ 53/45 UP/BP leads), is designed for pacing and sensing, which are therapeutic and monitoring functions, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a manufacturing modification to the distal end of endocardial leads, which are physical components (hardware) used in implantable pacing systems. The testing described also focuses on physical properties and connections of these hardware components.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The text clearly states the leads are designed for use with implantable pulse generators for pacing and sensing in the heart (ventricle or atrium). This is a therapeutic and diagnostic function performed in vivo (within the body), not in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description focuses on a manufacturing modification to the distal end of implantable leads. It describes the parts as "chronically implantable components."
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples of human origin (like blood, urine, tissue) or providing information about a physiological state, disease, or condition based on such analysis, which are hallmarks of IVDs.
The device described is an implantable medical device used for cardiac pacing and sensing.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Parts 124132 and 124133 have undergone the following testing:
- Visual control of the single distal tip pieces (also sampled during manufacture).
- Visual control of leads manufactured using new distal tip pieces (also sampled during manufacture)
- Insulation testing according to prEN 45502:2 1996, Section 23.3, for the leads within each of the two lead families (TIR, TIJ, PX, PX-J)
- Representative strength tests of adhesive connections using NuSil Med 1511 and NuSil Med 1137 (these adhesives are used interchangeably in the manufacture of BIOTRONIK leads):
- a) Adhesive connection of the passive fixation tines (LSR-4070) and distal end piece (LSR-4070)
- b) Adhesive connection of the distal end piece (LSR-4070) and the ring electrode (90% Pt / 10% Ir)
All test results were within specifications; therefore, when the proposed parts are in use, the patient will be exposed to no risks in excess of those experienced by patients using existing TIR/TIJ or POLYROX leads, or other equivalent market-released leads.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Tapered Distal Segment Modification (510(k) #K972500)
This premarket notification describes a manufacturing modification to the distal end of BIOTRONIK TIR/TIJ and POLYROX bipolar endocardial leads. Through design functionality, simplicity and material biocompatibility, the parts proposed in this submission (parts 124132 and 124133) are designed to be safe, chronically implantable components of the devices within which they are used. The safety and effectiveness of TIR/TIJ and POLYROX bipolar endocardial leads is addressed within their respective 510(k) applications. The proposed use of these pre-formed tapered silicone parts is for manufacturability and quality control only and will not affect any aspect of lead performance or utility, including but not limited to indications for use, lead size, material biocompatibility, handling characteristics, sterilization procedures or labeling.
Parts 124132 and 124133 have undergone the following testing:
- Visual control of the single distal tip pieces (also sampled during manufacture) .
- Visual control of leads manufactured using new distal tip pieces (also sampled during . manufacture)
- Insulation testing according to prEN 45502:2 1996, Section 23.3, for the leads within each of . the two lead families (TIR, TIJ, PX, PX-J)
- Representative strength tests of adhesive connections using NuSil Med 1511 and NuSil Med . 1137 (these adhesives are used interchangeably in the manufacture of BIOTRONIK leads):
- a) Adhesive connection of the passive fixation tines (LSR-4070) and distal end piece (LSR-4070)
- b) Adhesive connection of the distal end piece (LSR-4070) and the ring electrode (90% Pt / 10% Ir)
All test results were within specifications; therefore, when the proposed parts are in use, the patient will be exposed to no risks in excess of those experienced by patients using existing TIR/TIJ or POLYROX leads, or other equivalent market-released leads.
Possible side effects of lead implantation include, but are not limited to, body rejection phenomena, thrombosis, muscle and nerve stimulation, infection and erosion through skin. BIOTRONIK is not aware of any other adverse safety and effectiveness data on endocardial leads.
Since the beginning of non-US distribution in 1994, 29,820 TIR/TIJ bipolar endocardial leads have been distributed within Japan and the EEC. For these devices, adverse events (incident reports) are reported as required under the European Vigilance System. No incident reports have been filed; four complaints have been filed. Of the four complaints filed, one lead was a TIJ 53-BP and the remaining were TIR 60-BP leads. The TIJ lead was analyzed by the manufacturer and found to be operating within specifications (complaint related to "unacceptable" bipolar thresholds). Of the
1
three complaints relating to TIR leads, one lead was found to perform within manufacturer's specifications (complaint related to "no capture"), one was seen to have a "lead puncture" (complaint related to no pacing and high impedance), and one was found to have a short circuit between the tip and the ring electrodes (complaint related to "unacceptable" bipolar thresholds).
The distribution of bipolar POLYROX leads in non-US countries began in February, 1996; as of submittal date of this document, 4,268 leads have been distributed within Japan and the EEC. Adverse events also are reported for these devices as required under the European Vigilance System. There are no reported adverse events or complaints associated with this lead.
Within the United States, numbers of bipolar TIR/TIJ and POLYROX leads distributed to date are 110 and 529, respectively. There are no reported adverse events associated with the use of these leads in the United States. There have been no returns of TR/TIJ leads in the United States; two device returns are recorded for POLYROX leads - one because of physician preference (decided to use another lead), and one because the lead was dropped in the operating room at time of implant.
