Intended Use
The Z6 Stimulator System is an electrical stimulus generator for diagnostic cardiac stimulation electrophysiological testing of the human heart.
Device Description
The Z6 Stimulator is a cardiac pulse generator designed for use in an Electrophysiology Laboratory during electrophysiological studies. The system operates in conjunction with ECC Recording devices to deliver electrical stimulus to the patient's heart through up to four simultaneously operable output channels. The Z6 Stimulator is controlled by a CPU based Workstation with Windows XP. This provides programmability and flexibility with regard to the stimulus program and allows access to system users. Additionally, the system features a graphical interface with a Windows XP look and feel. Each of the four independent output channels of the Z6 Stimulator is capable of generating between 0.1 and 25 mAs of current to the patient, with voltages up to 20 Volts. The System is capable of delivering pulses on all channels simultaneously. The duration of the pulses can be programmed to be between 0.5 and 10 ms, maintaining timing accuracy (> +/- 0.15 ms).
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on electrical stimulation parameters and a standard CPU-based workstation with a graphical interface, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is used for diagnostic cardiac stimulation and electrophysiological testing, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the "Z6 Stimulator System is an electrical stimulus generator for diagnostic cardiac stimulation electrophysiological testing of the human heart."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrical stimulus generator" and a "cardiac pulse generator" with "four independent output channels" capable of generating current and voltage. This indicates the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Z6 Stimulator System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The Z6 Stimulator System directly interacts with the human heart by delivering electrical stimulus.
  • The intended use is for diagnostic cardiac stimulation electrophysiological testing of the human heart. This is an in-vivo procedure, meaning it is performed on a living organism.
  • The device description clearly states it delivers electrical stimulus to the patient's heart.

Therefore, the Z6 Stimulator System is an in-vivo diagnostic device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Abboud:

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 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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
