The summary describes a standard electrophysiology catheter and its reprocessing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies. The performance studies focus on the physical and functional integrity of the reprocessed device.
No
The device is described as "Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters" and its intended use is for "temporary intracardiac sensing, recording, stimulation and electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures," which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic ones.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states the device is for "intracardiac sensing, recording, stimulation and electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures," and the "Device Description" section explicitly refers to them as "Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters."
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a hand piece, flexible shaft, and electrodes, 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 "temporary intracardiac sensing, recording, stimulation and electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures." This describes a procedure performed within the body (in vivo) to gather electrical signals from the heart.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter with electrodes designed to be positioned inside the heart for recording and stimulation. This is a medical device used for a diagnostic procedure performed directly on the patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention the analysis of any such specimens.
Therefore, this device is a medical device used for an in-vivo diagnostic procedure, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters are specially designed electrode catheters that transmit electrical impulses and can be positioned for endocardial recording or stimulation. Diagnostic EP catheters incorporate a hand piece, a flexible shaft and a distal tip section containing diagnostic electrodes. The distal tip of deflectable catheters can be deflected into a curve by manipulating the hand piece.

§ 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).

Dear Ms. Renken:
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 for and in 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 or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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 (240) 276-0120.
