Pacer Sensing Analyzer Psa 100
Oscor Medical
FDA Clearance Information
The Pacer Sensing Analyzer PSA 100 was cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) pathway on October 6, 1988. It is manufactured by Oscor Medical and classified as a Class 2 device.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- For evaluation of pacemaker sensing and pacing function in patients with implanted pacemakers.
- For assessing electrical signals from the heart and pacemaker system to support verification of proper operation.
Clinical Applications
- Testing pacemaker sensing and pacing during pacemaker implantation.
- Evaluating pacemaker function during routine follow-up visits.
- Identifying possible pacemaker sensing, pacing, or connection problems.
- Supporting clinician adjustments to pacemaker settings when indicated.
Practical Considerations
- Use requires appropriate connections, leads, and knowledge of the specific pacemaker system being evaluated.
- Compatibility should be confirmed for the pacemaker model, connector type, and testing configuration before use.
- The analyzer is operated by trained cardiac or electrophysiology personnel; readings should be interpreted with the patient's clinical findings and other device-testing information.
- The available record does not establish that the analyzer itself is MRI safe or MR conditional. Do not bring it into an MRI environment unless current manufacturer labeling specifically permits it.
- The device evaluates pacemaker performance but does not replace clinical assessment, electrocardiography, imaging, medication, or surgical treatment when those are needed.
