Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Pacemaker
Spanish term or phrase: Generador
The following appears in a medical report for pacemaker implantation in Spain:

Nota de implante de Marcapasos:
En sala de EEF se realiza el implante de MP Biotronik compatible con RM por vía subclavia izquierda sin incidentes.
Generador Enitra 6 D-T: SN 69430929
Cable VS Solia S 60 SN: 80859994 Onda R 8.3mV Impedancia 1000Ohm Umbral de estimulación 0,9V a 0.5 ms
Cable VS Solia S 53 SN: 80810406 Onda 1.7P mV Impedancia 536Ohm Umbral de estimulación 1V a 0.5 ms

I am unsure how "Generador" should be translated in this context and would appreciate suggestions.

Thanks, John.

English translation:(Pulse) Generator
Explanation:
The pacemaker has two parts: the leads and a pulse generator. The pulse generator has the battery and a tiny computer, and is just under the skin of the chest. The leads are wires threaded through the veins into the heart and implanted into the heart muscle.

Should be fairly straightforward.

Thanks for all the information. I decided to go with this, as it is more specific than "pacemasker". Cheers, John

pacemaker (as per the manufactuer's website)


Explanation:
According to the manufacturer's website, they use the term PACEMAKER for the "Enitra" model:

"Enitra 6 DR-T/SR-T
MINIMAL SIZE. PROVEN SOLUTIONS.

Enitra 6 pacemakers combine small size with a complete suite of tools for comprehensive diagnostics, powerful bradycardia therapy and facilitated handling— yielding long-lasting wireless devices that support efficient MRI access and timesaving remote monitoring.

I think the manufacturer's information is always a good source in these cases.

Explanation:
Siguiendo la pista de Neil puedes acceder a los manuales en inglés y castellano. Aunque no se trata de documentos idénticos, sí contienen extractos perfectamente equivalentes, con las correspondencias en uno y otro idioma. Anoto sólo un par de ejemplos;


Tipos de generadores
Ante los siguientes síntomas o expectativas están indicados los tipos de generadores que se indican a continuación:
Síntomas/expectativas /// SR DR HF

Device types For the following symptoms/expectations, the following device types are indicated:
Symptom/expectation /// SR DR HF

(...)

Device family
This device family consists of single-chamber, dual-chamber and triple-chamber devices with or without Home Monitoring. Not all device types are available in every country.
The following device variants are available:

Familia de generadores
Esta familia de generadores está compuesta por generadores monocamerales, bicamerales y tricamerales con o sin Home Monitoring. No todos los tipos de generador se encuentran disponibles en todos los países.
Existen las variantes de generador siguientes:


Tal y como sugiere Neil, se refiere al dispositivo en sí, aunque en el caso aludido utilizaría device, como en los ejemplos referidos, antes que pacemaker -aunque también cabría referirse a "marcapasos"/"pacemaker", si bien en realidad el marcapasos es todo ello, incluido el cableado. No sé si en otros textos equivalentes -en este caso el fabricante es alemán- se utiliza en inglés un término más específico para el "cuerpo" del marcapasos (el dispositivo en sí) en inglés.

Pacemaker | American Heart Association
The generator is a small battery-powered unit. It produces the electrical impulses that stimulate your heart to beat. The generator may be implanted under your skin through a small incision. The generator is connected to your heart through tiny wires that are implanted at the same time.
