Scope
YY/T 0492-2026 is the English-translated version of 植入式电极导线.
YY/T 0492 is the standard for the wire that carries the signal, and it covers three device families at once. It specifies the requirements for implantable cardiac pacing leads, for implantable neurostimulator leads and their extensions, and for implantable cardiac defibrillator leads. The lead is the component of an active implant that moves with the body for the life of the device, and it is where insulation failure, conductor fracture and connector problems concentrate, which is why it is standardised separately from the generator it plugs into. Grouping cardiac and neurostimulation leads in one document reflects how similar their failure modes are. For a manufacturer of pacemakers, ICDs or neurostimulation systems seeking Chinese registration, this is the standard the lead testing is measured against.

Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part
1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents". Drafting. This document replaces YY/T 0492-2017 "Implantable Cardiac Pacemaker Electrode Leads". Compared with YY/T 0492-2017, except for the structure... Aside from adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows: --Some terminology has been changed (see Chapter 3, Chapter 3 in the.2017 edition); --Added requirements for implantable defibrillator electrode leads, implantable neurostimulator electrode leads, and extension leads (see...) 4.1.1, 4.3.3, 4.3.4, 4.4). --Electrode lead sensing impedance has been removed (see
4.3.4 in the.2017 edition). --The retention force test has been changed to connector performance (see 4.4.3,.2017 version of 4.4.3). --The requirement for accelerated aging life testing has been removed (see
4.7 in the.2017 edition). --The requirements for ethylene oxide residues have been changed (see 4.8.2,
4.9.2 in the.2017 edition). --The requirements for particulate release have been changed (see 4.9.1,

1 Scope
YY/T 0492 is the standard for the wire that carries the signal, and it covers three device families at once. It specifies the requirements for implantable cardiac pacing leads, for implantable neurostimulator leads and their extensions, and for implantable cardiac defibrillator leads. The lead is the component of an active implant that moves with the body for the life of the device, and it is where insulation failure, conductor fracture and connector problems concentrate, which is why it is standardised separately from the generator it plugs into. Grouping cardiac and neurostimulation leads in one document reflects how similar their failure modes are. For a manufacturer of pacemakers, ICDs or neurostimulation systems seeking Chinese registration, this is the standard the lead testing is measured against.
This document specifies implantable cardiac pacing electrode leads, implantable neurostimulator electrode leads and extension leads, and implantable cardiac defibrillators. Requirements for electrode wires. This document applies to implantable cardiac pacing electrode leads, implantable neurostimulator electrode leads and extension leads, and implantable cardiac defibrillators. Electrode wires. Note
1.This document describes the functions of different pacemaker systems, neurostimulator systems, or defibrillator systems composed of different electrode leads, extension leads, and pulse generators. No requirements were made regarding compatibility or reliability. Note
2.The connector characteristics of implantable cardiac pacing electrode leads are specified in YY/T 0491 (IS-1) and YY/T 0972 (IS4). Implantable cardiac defibrillation electrodes. The connector characteristics of the wires are specified by YY/T 0946 (DF-1) and YY/T 0972 (DF4). Note
3.The tests specified in this document are type tests, which are conducted on samples to evaluate the device and are not intended to be used as items for factory inspection.
