Pace Medical, Inc. designs and manufacturers Temporary Cardiac Pacemakers, Pacing Analyzers, and Accessories. Pace Medical began operations in March 1985 when we acquired APC Medical Ltd. as a wholly-owned subsidiary. APC Medical is the successor to Devices Ltd., a United Kingdom medical equipment manufacturer and pioneer in the pacing industry.
Temporary cardiac pacemakers have three principal uses: therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic. The most common use is therapeutic. For example, when a patient is admitted to a hospital with an inadequate or grossly irregular heart rhythm, a pacemaker stabilizes the rhythm and improves the rate. Prophylactic use describes the application of a pacemaker to a patient as a precaution when their condition is unstable. This, too, is common. Finally, pacemakers, particularly those which are more sophisticated, serve a valuable purpose as a diagnostic tool; assisting a physician in making a diagnosis or simply evaluating a specific condition of a patient.
In the United Kingdom, APC Medical Ltd. is the market leader for temporary cardiac pacemakers where we set the industry standard and supply the majority of the units sold. The Company manufacturers two types of single-chamber, VVI, demand temporary pacemakers. These include battery operated bedside models which attach to a patient's bedrail and miniature models which enable patients to remain ambulatory during treatment. The MICRO-PACE, dual-chamber, temporary cardiac pacemaker in its most sophisticated mode, DDD, is designed to sense and pace in both the atria and the ventricles; thereby, restoring A-V synchrony and improvig cardiac output. The growing reliance on dual-chamber pacing devices underscores physician recognition of the importance of A-V synchrony in those cardiac patients for whom increased cardiac output is needed.
