A photograph or two might be helpful. It would be worth the trip for a bundle or pacemakers, but sure if it is worth it for one. The rest of the bits we 'might' not use either.

Thanks

I have had another look and they seem to be Medtronic although a lot of the bag is made made up of lead introducers, valves, plugs and varius cannulae. As far as I can attain the pace maker is a Medtronic ensura Dr Mri surescan en1dr01. I have photographed some of the individual units but have not been through the bag to catalogue everything. ( it fills the car boot!). If you are interested I can either send some photos or catalogue things further. I make the drive over to Manchester a few times but Midlands might be a bit far to deliver!

As far as I am aware the out of date bit just means the latest human implantation date! As human patients should be expected to get at least 8? years out of them there should be plenty of life left in the units for our patients!

Do you know what manufacturer they are? We use Medtronic and Sorin, So would be interested. But if not, I can ask around my colleagues in other centres who might use different manufacturer.

Thanks

Mike Martin????

(although I wonder whether there is any way to know that they aren't otherwise faulty!)
