Intended Use

CardEP is a post processing software option for the Advantage Workstation (AW) Platform. This product can be used for the analysis of CT angiographic images for the assessment of the heart to include the atria, pulmonary veins, and coronary sinus. It provides quantitative analysis tools which include a number of display, measurement and model export capabilities. This product can be used to aid trained physicians in the visualization and assessment of cardiac anatomy.

Device Description

The CardEP option is a post processing software option for the Advantage Workstation (AW) Platform. This product can be used in the analysis of CT angiographic images to display structures of the heart in a MIP, reformat, volume rendering and vessel fly through view. The software has an ability to automatically segment out cavities of the heart, measure the diameter of the vessels and export models of the heart for further review.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

Unknown
The description mentions "automatically segment out cavities of the heart," which could potentially be implemented using AI/ML, but the document does not explicitly state the use of these technologies, nor does it provide details about training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

Therapeutic

No.
The device is a post-processing software that aids in the visualization and assessment of cardiac anatomy, providing quantitative analysis tools and display capabilities. It does not directly treat or prevent a disease, nor does it restore, modify, or correct body function. Its purpose is diagnostic aid rather than therapeutic intervention.

Diagnostic

Yes
Explanation: The device provides analysis tools for CT angiographic images of the heart to aid physicians in visualization and assessment, which directly contributes to diagnosing cardiac conditions.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

Yes

The device is described as a "post processing software option" for an existing platform and its function is solely focused on analyzing and displaying medical images, which are software-based tasks. There is no mention of any hardware component being part of the CardEP device itself.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
CardEP's Function: CardEP is a software that processes imaging data (CT angiographic images). It analyzes and visualizes anatomical structures within the heart.
No Biological Samples: The description clearly states that the input is imaging data, not biological samples from a patient.

Therefore, CardEP falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Steneberg:

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 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) 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 the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
