Intended Use
The intended use of the CARTO™ RMT EP Navigation System v8 is catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping. The CARTO RMT System v8 allows real-time display of cardiac maps in a number of different formats. Maps may be displayed as cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps, impedance maps, and cardiac chamber geometry maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms may also be displayed in real time on the display screen. The CARTO R.MT System v8 is intended to support EP procedures in the presence of the high metallic environment presented by the NIOBE 1 (PM3.0) and Niobe 2 (PM3.1 and PM3.2) Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation Systems (MNS) in magnetic environments of up to 0.08 Tesla. Although the CARTO™ RMT system requires the use of a magnetic steerable catheter, i.e. the NAVISTAR RMT, when used in conjunction with the Stereotaxis Niobe MNS, it also enables the use of the standard NAVISTAR and QWIKSTAR catheters when the Stereotaxis magnets are stowed away or when used in a conventional EP lab, maintaining full CARTOTM XP capabilities. CARTO RMT System v8 includes the CARTOMERGE™ capability to import, register and merge CT or MRI structural images with CARTO maps physiological information and real time catheter navigation.
Device Description
The CARTO™ RMT EP Navigation System v8 is designed to acquire, analyze, and display electro-anatomical maps of the human heart. The maps are reconstructed using the combination of information gathered from the integration of intracardiac electrograms with their respective endocardial locations. Maps may be displayed as electrical activation maps, electrical propagation maps, electrical maps, impedance maps and chamber geometry maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms may also be displayed in real time on the display screen. In the conventional procedure both the patient and the physician are exposed to X-Ray radiation during the course of the procedure. The CARTO™ RMT System v8 enables cardiac mapping using CARTO™ RMT compatible catheters utilizing the magnetic navigation capabilities of the Stereotaxis Niobe Systems. In this way the system seamlessly combines the benefits of cardiac 3D mapping with remote catheter navigation and may further reduce the hospital staff exposure to dangerous ionizing radiation. The CARTO" RMT EP Navigation System v8 includes the CARTOMERGE module. The CARTOMERGE module provides for the import, visualization and processing of preacquired cardiac images. These images are then registered and superimposed to the CARTO RMT EP maps. CARTOMERGE supports import of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MRI) images in DICOM format.

Not Found

No
The summary describes image processing and mapping capabilities but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms like neural networks or deep learning.

No
The device is described as a navigation and mapping system that acquires, analyzes, and displays electro-anatomical maps of the heart, supporting EP procedures, but it does not directly treat or provide therapy to the patient. It is a diagnostic and guidance tool.

Yes

The device is intended for "catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping" and allows real-time display of various cardiac maps and signals, including "cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps, impedance maps, and cardiac chamber geometry maps," as well as "body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms." This information is used to "acquire, analyze, and display electro-anatomical maps of the human heart" to support EP procedures, which are diagnostic in nature.

No

The device description explicitly mentions the use of catheters (NAVISTAR RMT, NAVISTAR, QWIKSTAR) and integration with magnetic navigation systems (Stereotaxis Niobe MNS), which are hardware components. While it includes software for mapping and image processing, it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping" and "to support EP procedures". This describes a system used during a medical procedure to guide a catheter and visualize the heart's electrical activity and anatomy.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on acquiring, analyzing, and displaying electro-anatomical maps and patient signals (ECG, electrograms). It also mentions integrating with magnetic navigation systems and importing pre-acquired images (CT/MRI).
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: An IVD is a device intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device does not perform tests on bodily fluids or tissues in vitro. It is used in vivo (within the body) during a procedure.

The device is a medical device used for navigation and mapping during electrophysiology procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Ms. Thorson:

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
