Intended Use
The Encirclr AL Adjustable Loop Mapping Catheter is intended for electrophysiologic mapping, recording intracardiac electrograms, and temporary pacing in the atria of the heart.
Device Description
The device consists of a control handle and a closed lumen 7 French catheter shaft that transitions to a 5 French distal tip section. The distal tip section has an adjustable loop with 10 evenly spaced radiopaque active electrodes that are .75 to 1.3 mm in width, and a non-active 5 French distal tip. The catheter contains two control wires, insulated recording wires, and a nickel/titanium forming wire which has memory and elasticity that allows for adjustability of the loop. The control handle enables the user to steer the device, and adjust the diameter of the loop at the distal end of the catheter in order to fit various ostial anatomy. These catheters are available in four models (1045AL1, 1045AL2, 1060AL1, 1060AL2) with a usable length of 110 cm measuring from the strain relief to the center of the distal loop. They have curve reaches that range from 45 to 60 mm, and adjustable loop diameters that range from 14 to 28 mm (AL1's range is 14-22mm and AL2's range is 18-28mm). The catheter connects to a cable that serves as the interface between the catheter and a standard EP recording system using a Medtronic 10-pin connector cable. The catheter is supplied sterile and is intended for single-use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components of the catheter for electrophysiologic mapping and pacing. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device is solely intended for mapping, recording, and temporary pacing for diagnostic purposes, not for treating any condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as an "electrophysiologic mapping" catheter and is intended for "recording intracardiac electrograms," which are diagnostic activities used to understand the electrical activity of the heart.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a control handle, shaft, electrodes, wires, and a connector cable. This is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "electrophysiologic mapping, recording intracardiac electrograms, and temporary pacing in the atria of the heart." This describes a procedure performed within the body (in vivo) to assess electrical activity of the heart.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed to be inserted into the body. It has a shaft, electrodes, and a control handle for manipulation within the heart.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.

This device is clearly designed for direct interaction with the patient's internal anatomy for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, which is characteristic of an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 870.1220 Electrode recording catheter or electrode recording probe.

(a)
Identification. An electrode recording catheter or an electrode recording probe is a device used to detect an intracardiac electrocardiogram, or to detect cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunts. The device may be unipolar or multipolar for electrocardiogram detection, or may be a platinum-tipped catheter which senses the presence of a special indicator for cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunt determinations.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

The device consists of a control handle and a
closed lumen 7 French catheter shaft that
transitions to a 5 French distal tip section. The
distal tip section has an adjustable loop with 10
evenly spaced radiopaque active electrodes that
are .75 to 1.3 mm in width, and a non-active 5
French distal tip. The catheter contains two

intracardiac electrograms, and temporary pacing
in the atria of the heart. |
| Statement of Technological
Comparison | Representative samples of the device underwent
electrical and mechanical testing to demonstrate
comparable functional and performance
characteristics to the predicate device. The
patient contact materials of the Encirclr AL are
identical to those used in other legally marketed
predicate devices from Medtronic that have
undergone appropriate biocompatibility testing.
Therefore biocompatibility testing of the Encirclr
has been fulfilled by analogy to those catheters. |
| Conclusion: (statement of
equivalence) | The Encirclr AL is substantially equivalent to the
StableMapr EP catheter. This conclusion is based
upon the fact that this device is substantially
equivalent to the predicate device in terms of
functional design, materials, intended use, and
principles of operation. |
