Intended Use

The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter is intended for intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart.

Device Description

The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter is comprised of a single-use, disposable ultrasonic phased-array imaging transducer. A Inquiry ClearICE catheter is steerable: catheter, 9 Fr (2.97 mm) in diameter, 90 cm to 110 cm insertable length and available in various curve configuration. The distal portion of the catheter can be deflected in four directions in two orthogonal planes: left-right (in a plane perpendicular to imaging plane) and anterior-posterior (in a plane coincident with the image plane). Bi-directional steering controlled by push/pull handle mechanism and quad-directional steering controlled by a push/pull mechanism and rotating knob. The non-sterile, reusable GE Connector Cable is use to connect IBI InquiryTM ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter to the GE Vivid i Ultrasound system. The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter is used with commercially available GE Connector Cable and Vivid- i Diagnostic Ultrasound System. The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter is comprised of three major components: (1) the catheter itself; (2) the steering mechanism; and (3) the reusable GE Connector Cable & GE Vivi i Ultrasound System.

AI/ML Overview

This looks like a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter. This document asserts substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than presenting a de novo study to establish new acceptance criteria or device performance.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information required to answer your prompt. Specifically, it does not include:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, or adjudication methods for test sets.
  • Information on Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
  • Information on standalone algorithm performance studies.
  • The type of ground truth used in any performance studies.
  • Sample size for training sets or how ground truth was established for training sets.

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating that the IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ catheter is "substantially equivalent" in its technologies and functionality to existing, legally marketed ACUSON AcuNav ultrasound catheters. Substantial equivalence means that the device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device. This typically involves comparing design, materials, performance specifications, and indications for use against the predicate, rather than conducting new clinical trials to establish de novo performance criteria.

The document lists the following predicate devices:

  • #K042593 (January 5, 2005) cleared as ACUSON AcuNav 8Fr Ultrasound Catheter.
  • #K033650 (February 24, 2004) cleared as ACUSON AcuNav 90/10 Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter.
  • #K992632 (November 8, 2001) cleared as ACUSON AcuNav Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter.

The submission confirms that "The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter designed and validated in compliance with the following standards," and then lists several ISO, IEC, BS EN, and AAMI standards, along with FDA regulations and guidance documents. Compliance with these standards and regulations is part of the process of demonstrating substantial equivalence for safety and performance, but it does not involve the kind of specific performance study details you requested for AI/algorithm-driven devices.

Dear Mr. Patel:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following transducers intended for use with the IBI Inquiry" ClearICE" Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter, as decriaed in your premarket notification:

Transducer Model Number - Inquiry - ClearICE™

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 - Mr. Rohit Patel

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus permits your device to proceed to market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html
