FDA PRODUCT CODE · CLASS III
NVN — Drug Eluting Permanent Right Ventricular (Rv) Or Right Atrial (Ra) Pacemaker Electrodes
Drug eluting permanent RV or RA pacemaker electrodes are used with compatible pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) or cardiac rhythm therapy (CRT) devices to deliver pacing pulses to the heart.
What these counts are not
Clearance and recall counts are SPEQ’s aggregation of FDA’s own published records for the code. A recall count is a measure of history, not of a device’s safety, neither number is an FDA rating, and SPEQ is not affiliated with the FDA.
What this classification requires
Every statement below is FDA’s own classification record for this product code, quoted from the device classification field reference. The SPEQ reading beneath each one is SPEQ’s interpretation of what it means for the work, and is not FDA text.
PMA
SPEQ READINGPremarket approval under 21 CFR Part 814. FDA reviews safety and effectiveness directly rather than by comparison, so clinical evidence is normally expected and the quality system is inspected before approval rather than after marketing.
Class III (high risk): general controls and Premarket Approval (PMA)
SPEQ READINGGeneral controls are insufficient to assure safety and effectiveness, so approval rests on direct evidence rather than equivalence.
Device is not eligible for The Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting Program
SPEQ READINGIndividual malfunction reporting under 21 CFR Part 803 applies. The complaint-handling system has to produce a decision per event, not per period.
Not exempt due to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/Quality System
SPEQ READINGThe full Quality Management System Regulation (21 CFR 820, incorporating ISO 13485:2016) applies, and is what an FDA inspection of this device will be conducted against.
Device is implantable
SPEQ READINGImplant status raises the evidentiary bar on biocompatibility and on traceability from finished device back to material lot.
Device is used for life sustaining purposes.
SPEQ READINGA life-sustaining designation is what brings device tracking under 21 CFR Part 821 into scope, and it raises what a risk file has to say about single-fault conditions.
Device is not a candidate for a third party review program
SPEQ READINGFDA reviews any premarket notification for this code directly.
