 We have a single chamber pacemaker, we have a dual-chamber pacemaker, we have the ventricular pacemaker. So, the typical longevity of these pacemakers is roughly around seven to 12 years depending upon which pacemaker we are using. And also depending upon the usage of a pacemaker in an individual patient. so a single chamber pacemaker can last as much as nine to 12 years. So can a dual-chamber pacemaker lasts roughly around nine to 12 years, the by ventricular pacemakers because they have to work more, that current utilization is more their battery drain obviously is a little more so they last roughly around six to nine years, depending upon the current usages of a patient.
