What is it indicated for?

BIOTRONIK's YP xx/15-BP leads are indicated for permanent pacing and sensing. Active fixation pacing leads with a bipolar (BP) IS-1 connector configuration are designed for use in conjunction with implantable pulse generators. The leads may be used with single or dual chamber pacing systems.

The YP xx/15-BP lead models are intended for placement in either the patient’s right atrium or right ventricle.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
