Pacemakers; for stimulating heart muscles (excluding parts and accessories)

HS v2022 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 other arrhythmias. Pacemakers are an essential part of the global healthcare industry, contributing to improved quality of life and reduced mortality rates for individuals with heart-related disorders.

Production process

The production of pacemakers involves a complex manufacturing process that combines advanced electronics, precision engineering, and strict quality control measures. Typically, the process begins with the fabrication of the pacemaker's electronic components, including the pulse generator, leads, and sensors. These components are then assembled and encased in a biocompatible housing, ensuring the device can be safely implanted within the patient's body. Rigorous testing and regulatory approvals are required to ensure the pacemaker's safety, reliability, and effectiveness.

Production inputs

The production of pacemakers requires a range of specialized inputs, including electronic components such as microprocessors, capacitors, and batteries, as well as specialized medical-grade materials like titanium and silicone for the device's housing and leads. Additionally, the manufacturing process relies on advanced production equipment, including computer-controlled assembly lines and testing facilities, to ensure the precision and quality of the final product.

Production outputs

Pacemakers produced under HS code 902150 are primarily used to treat cardiac conditions and are consumed by the 851910 medical equipment industry. The output of this industry may also be used in conjunction with other 902190 other instruments and appliances for medical, surgical or veterinary sciences to provide comprehensive cardiac care solutions.
