Intended Use
The Stereotaxis Cardiodrive® is intended for automatically advancing and retracting only the Stereotaxis Tangent® Electrophysiology Catheter of 7F shaft diameter and 8F tip. The Cardiodrive® is intended to advance the Stereotaxis Tangent® Electrophysiology Catheter in the right side of the heart only. It is not intended to advance the Tangent® Electrophysiology Catheter through the coronary vasculature nor the coronary sinus.
Device Description
The Cardiodrive® advances or retracts a compatible magnetic electrophysiology [EP] catheter, through a hemostasis introducer, remotely via a User Interface (UI) located either at the patient table or in the control room.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on mechanical advancement/retraction controlled via a user interface, with no mention of learning or intelligent decision-making processes.

No
The device is described as advancing and retracting an electrophysiology catheter, and its function relates to controlling the movement of another device (the catheter). It does not directly provide a therapeutic effect itself.

No

The Stereotaxis Cardiodrive® is described as a device that automatically advances and retracts an electrophysiology catheter. Its function is to manipulate the catheter, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Cardiodrive® advances or retracts a catheter, indicating a physical, hardware component responsible for mechanical movement. While it has a user interface (UI), the core function involves hardware manipulation of a medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body ("in vitro").
  • Cardiodrive® Function: The description clearly states the Cardiodrive® is intended for "automatically advancing and retracting only the Stereotaxis Tangent® Electrophysiology Catheter... in the right side of the heart only." This is a device used within the body ("in vivo") to manipulate a catheter during a medical procedure.

The function of the Cardiodrive® is to physically control a catheter inside a patient's heart, which is the opposite of how IVD devices operate.

| Device
description | The Cardiodrive® advances or retracts a compatible magnetic
electrophysiology [EP] catheter, through a hemostasis introducer, remotely
via a User Interface (UI) located either at the patient table or in the control
room. |
| Intended use | The Stereotaxis Cardiodrive® is intended for automatically advancing and
retracting only the Stereotaxis Tangent® Electrophysiology Catheter (part
#001-001223-1) of 7F shaft diameter and 8F tip. The Cardiodrive® is

| Technological
characteristics | The Stereotaxis Cardiodrive® consists of an electrical controller, motor
assembly, and user controls, plus sterile, single-use advancer unit, horizontal
patient mounting bracket, flexible drive shaft, and hemostasis introducer
adapter. |
| Device
comparisons | The modified Stereotaxis Cardiodrive® consists of minor design
modifications of the currently marketed Stereotaxis Cardiodrive®. The new
Cardiodrive® has a modified Hemostasis Introducer Adapter and a new
horizontal patient mounting bracket to better accommodate the use of larger
guiding sheaths. |
