Intended Use
This catheter is intended for temporary intracardiac pacing and recording during electrophysiology studies, e.g. evaluation of arrhythmias or cardiac mapping. In addition, the preformed shape of the Halo XP catheter's tip section is designed particularly for the tricuspid annulus.
Device Description
The Cordis Webster deflectable 720 electrode catheter has been designed for electrophysiological mapping of the tricuspid annulus. The catheter has a high-torque shaft with a halo-shaped tip section containing ten pairs of platinum electrodes that can easily be seen under fluoroscopy. The tip section also contains a radiopaque marker in the center of the electrode array. The tip section of the catheter has a halo-shaped preformed loop which can be positioned around the atrial aspect of the tricuspid annulus. A piston in the handpiece is attached to an internal puller which changes the radius of curvature. When the piston is pushed forward, the radius of curvature of the preformed loop is reduced: when the thumbknob is pulled back, the radius of curvature is increased until the tip section returns to the preformed shape. The high-torque shaft allows the plane of the loop to be maneuvered in order to facilitate accurate positioning. The Cordis Webster deflectable T20 electrode catheter facilitates simultaneously local electrograms spanning the tricuspid annulus, from midseptal to anterior to lateral to posterolateral. Recordings of the entire annulus can be obtained without repositioning the catheter tip.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and function of the catheter for electrophysiological mapping, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described for "electrophysiological mapping," "recording," and "evaluation of arrhythmias or cardiac mapping," which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic. While it mentions "intracardiac pacing," this is for temporary use during studies, not as a primary therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The Intended Use / Indications for Use section explicitly states that the catheter is for "temporary intracardiac pacing and recording during electrophysiology studies, e.g. evaluation of arrhythmias or cardiac mapping," which are diagnostic procedures. Additionally, the Device Description mentions "electrophysiological mapping" and "recordings of the entire annulus," further supporting its diagnostic function. The predicate device is also explicitly named as a "Diagnostic Catheter".

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with electrodes, a shaft, a handpiece, and a piston, indicating it 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 "temporary intracardiac pacing and recording during electrophysiology studies, e.g. evaluation of arrhythmias or cardiac mapping." This describes a procedure performed within the body (in vivo) to diagnose and evaluate heart conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed to be inserted into the heart to record electrical signals and potentially pace the heart. This is an invasive medical device used directly on a patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device does not process or analyze biological specimens in this manner.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of an invasive medical device used for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The nonclinical performance testing performed on the T20 electrode catheter compared to the predicate device indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the outcome of the tests for each of the devices that would affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. The tests on the following table were performed according to FDA's "Electrode Recording Catheter Preliminary Guidance". Certain tests were not applicable to this device and justifications are given for the absence of those particular tests.

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)

Technological Characteristics

The subject device is technologically similar to the predicate device, the Cordis Webster Diagnostic Deflectable catheter. The design of the T20 electrode catheter, the subject device, includes a greater number of ring electrodes, 20, as compared to the Cordis Webster Diagnostic Deflectable catheter which has 4 and the Cordis Webster Orthogonal catheter which has 12 poles. The nominal width of each ring electrode used in the 720 is 0.7mm compared to 1.3mm for the standard deflectable catheter. The distal tip of the 720 electrode catheter has a "balo" shape as compared to A - F curve availability for distal tip deflection of the standard deflectable catheter. The differences indicated do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.

Performance Data (Nonclinical Testing)

The nonclinical performance testing performed on the T20 electrode catheter compared to the predicate device indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the outcome of the tests for each of the devices that would affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. The tests on the following table were performed according to FDA's "Electrode Recording Catheter Preliminary Guidance". Certain tests were not applicable to this device and justifications are given for the absence of those particular tests.

Conclusions Drawn from the Nonclinical Tests

The results of the nonclinical performance tests indicate that the 720 electrode catheter performs as well as the predicate device (the standard Cordis Webster Diagnostic 7F Deflectable Catheter) and that the differences in testing outcome are not statistically significant; therefore, Cordis Webster concludes that the 720 catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
