MEDTRONIC 5348 Temporary Single Chamber Pacemaker Analysis Report

Device Identification

The main product in the examined images is an external temporary pacemaker, which is a medical device. The product is a portable, battery-powered unit used to regulate heart rate until a permanent pacemaker is implanted or in cases of temporary bradycardia. The device is stored within custom-cut protective foam.

Brand and Model

Detailed examination of the images clearly identified the device’s brand and model information. The logo and texts are clearly legible on the front face of the device.

• Brand: MEDTRONIC
• Model: 5348
• Device Type Description (Written on Front Face): Temporärer Einkammerschrittmacher (German: Temporary Single Chamber Pacemaker)

Originality

The product’s material quality, color tones (Medtronic-specific gray and button colors), typography, and print quality indicate that the product is an original Medtronic device. Furthermore, the German terminology on it confirms that the device is an original European version manufactured for Germany or German-speaking regions.

Areas of Use

The Medtronic 5348 is used in the fields of cardiology and cardiac surgery. Its primary purpose is to regulate the heart rhythm by sending electrical impulses to the heart in cases where the patient’s heart rate is too slow (bradycardia) or electrical conduction is impaired. As it is a temporary device, it is used during surgery, post-surgery, or during the waiting period before a permanent pacemaker is implanted. It is suitable for intensive care, emergency departments, and operating theaters in hospitals.

Quantity Information

The total number of parts in the images is as follows:

• 1 unit of Medtronic 5348 Main Unit
• 1 unit of Cable/Connection set (inside a bag)
• 2 units of 9V Battery (1 unit aligned with the device slot, 1 unit inside the bagged cable set)

General Condition and Physical State

The device is in a condition that can be described as “Excellent” or “Very Good” cosmetically. No yellowing, prominent scratches, stains, or signs of use are observed on the device surface. Its storage within the special protective foam indicates that the device has been protected from external factors and remained clean. The gray plastic casing retains its vibrancy.

Mechanical Components

The adjustment knobs (potentiometers) on the front face of the device and the transparent hard plastic cover protecting them appear intact. No break or crack has been observed in the hinge mechanism of the cover. This cover is a critical mechanical part to prevent accidental alteration of settings and is in place.

Electronic Components and Interface Analysis

The device’s interface has an analog-controlled electronic structure. All controls on the front panel are labeled in German:

• FREQUENZ min-1 (Frequency): The upper rotary knob that adjusts the heart rate (beats per minute). (Estimated range on a 30-180 bpm scale).
• AUSGANG mA (Output): The middle knob that adjusts the current intensity to be sent to the heart (values between 0.1 – 20 mA are visible).
• EMPFINDLICHKEIT mV (Sensitivity): The bottom knob that adjusts the device’s threshold for sensing the heart’s own signals. “ASYNC.” (Asynchronous) mode is also on this knob.
• LED Indicators: “STIM.” (Stimulation), “WAHRN.” (Warning/Sense), and “BATTERIE LEER” (Low Battery) indicators are present.
• Buttons: “AUS” (Off – Purple) and “EIN” (On – Green) buttons. A German warning indicating that both buttons must be pressed simultaneously to turn off the device (BEIDE TASTEN DRÜCKEN…) is present.

Accessories

In the compartment on the left side of the device, there is a bundle of gray, medical-grade cable inside a transparent, zip-lock bag. This cable is likely the interconnecting cable (Patient Cable) that transmits the signal produced by the device to the electrodes or temporary pacing leads on the patient. At the end of the cable, a black, special connector head with a locking mechanism is visible. No visual deformation (break, crushing) has been detected in the cable.

Battery Status

Two 9V batteries are present in the image. One of the batteries is branded “VARTA INDUSTRIAL” and is alkaline. Visually, no swelling, leakage, or oxidation (rusting) is observed on the outer packaging or bodies of the batteries. The batteries are external and user-replaceable.

Label Information

The label and brand information, other than technical values, on the front face of the product are as follows:

• Brand: MEDTRONIC®
• Model: 5348
• Language: German (All commands and warnings are written in German)

Current Fault and Risk Assessment

As a result of the visual analysis, no breaks, cracks, burn marks, or missing parts were detected on the device. The cleanliness of the device and its position within the foam suggest it has been little used or very well preserved. No indicators of potential fault risk (rusting, battery leakage, etc.) are present. However, as the product is a medical device, it must undergo biomedical calibration and functional testing before use.
