No
The description focuses on the physical components (wires, connectors, EDIM) and their function in pacing, sensing, and delivering electrical shocks. There is no mention of algorithms, data processing, or learning capabilities.
Yes
The device is indicated for use in post-operative cardiac surgery patients who require temporary atrial or ventricular pacing/sensing and/or atrial cardioversion, and it is described as being used to "diagnosis and treat atrial (type I) flutter and some forms of tachycardia," and to "treat post-operative arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation." These actions directly address a health condition, fitting the definition of a therapeutic device.
Yes
The device description states "The Syncrus Heart Wires and Connectors are used for atrial and ventricular pacing and electrocardiogram sensing to diagnosis and treat atrial (type I) flutter and some forms of tachycardia." The phrase "to diagnosis" explicitly indicates a diagnostic function for the device.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as heart wires, connectors, and an external defibrillator interface module (EDIM), which are hardware. The device's function involves delivering electrical pulses directly to the heart, which is a hardware-based action.
Based on the provided information, the Guidant Syncrus™ Internal Cardioversion System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Syncrus Function: The Syncrus system is designed for direct intervention and monitoring within the body. It involves:
- Pacing and Sensing: Directly interacting with the heart's electrical activity.
- Cardioversion: Delivering electrical shocks directly to the heart to treat arrhythmias.
- Implantation: The wires are surgically affixed to the heart chambers.
The device's function is to directly interact with and treat the patient's heart, not to analyze specimens taken from the patient. Therefore, it falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Syncrus Heart Wires and Connectors are used for atrial and ventricular pacing and electrocardiogram sensing to diagnosis and treat atrial (type I) flutter and some forms of tachycardia. The wires are also used to treat post-operative arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, when used in conjunction with the Syncrus Cardioversion Extension Cable and Syncrus External Defibrillator Interface Module (EDIM). The EDIM is a passive device. The EDIM when used with a compatible external monophasic defibrillator reduces the energy to approximately 3% and delivers the low-energy cardioversion shock directly to the atria. The cardioversion is achieved by delivering a synchronized electrical pulse of approximately 11.1 Joules or less to the atrial chambers of the heart. There are three types of Heart Wires:
- A tripolar atrial wire, capable of pacing and sensing, and cardioversion, when used in conjunction with the unipolar wire.
- A unipolar atrial wire, capable of cardioversion when used in conjunction with the cardioversion electrode on the tripolar wire.
- A bipolar ventricular wire, capable of pacing and sensing.
The wires are comprised of curved needle(s), attached to lead(s) on the proximal end. The wires are insulated for long length. A straight needle is attached to the leads on the distal end of the wires. Cardioversion i connectors are provided that attach to the appropriate heart wire leads. Pacing connector pins are pre-assembled onto the appropriate heart wire leads.
The Syncrus Heart Wires are intended to be affixed to the surfaces of their respective heart chambers, during or immediately following open-heart surgery, before the median sternotomy is closed. Temporary pacing heart wires are routinely implanted in a similar manner. The unipolar atrial wire is placed on the left atrium, the tripolar atrial wire is placed on the right atrium, and the bipolar ventricular wire is placed on either ventricle. If all of the Heart Wires are implanted, the atrial and ventricular temporary sensing and pacing ability can be used, and only if the patient develops post-operative AF would the cardioversion feature be used. Both the unipolar atrial wire and the tripolar atrial wires are required in order to perform a cardioversion. When only the capability to treat post-operative AF is desired, the ventricular wire is not required.
When the pacing feature is used, the pacing lead is inserted into the myocardial tissue of the atrium using the curved needles. Location and pattern of the lead is not critical, as the lead simply requires tissue contact. The "bullet" (define) on the ground wire is then pulled through the hole formed by the curved needle, and is thus buried in the myocardial wall.

A permanent pacemaker electrode is a device consisting of flexible insulated electrical conductors with one end connected to an implantable pacemaker pulse generator and the other end applied to the heart. The device is used to transmit a pacing electrical stimulus from the pulse generator to the heart and/or to transmit the electrical signal of the heart to the pulse generator.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before October 4, 2012, for any permanent pacemaker electrode device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before October 4, 2012, been found to be substantially equivalent to any permanent pacemaker electrode device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976.

Dear Ms. Cogan:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.
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.
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
