HS v2017 Code: 902150

About pacemakers; for stimulating heart muscles (excluding parts and accessories)

hs code 902150 covers pacemakers, which are medical devices used to regulate and stimulate the heart's electrical activity. These devices play a crucial role in the treatment of various cardiac conditions, such as bradycardia, heart block, and arrhythmias. The pacemaker industry is a vital component of the broader medical device sector, contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life for those with heart-related ailments.

Production process

Pacemakers are typically manufactured through a multi-step process involving the assembly of various electronic components, including a power source, leads, and a microprocessor. The production process often involves precision engineering, clean room environments, and stringent quality control measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of pacemakers include specialized electronic components, such as microchips, capacitors, and batteries. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced materials, including biocompatible polymers and metals, to ensure the devices are safe for implantation within the human body. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as automated assembly lines and testing apparatus, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the pacemaker industry is the pacemaker device itself, which is then used by healthcare providers to treat patients with cardiac conditions. The pacemakers produced under hs code 902150 may be consumed by other medical device codes, such as 902190 Instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary sciences, n.e.c. and 902300 Orthopaedic appliances, including crutches, surgical belts and trusses; splints and other fracture appliances; artificial parts of the body; hearing aids and other appliances which are worn or carried, or implanted in the body, to compensate for a defect or disability.
