Intended Use
The CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System and accessories are intended for catheterbased atrial and ventricular mapping. The mapping system allows real-time visualization of the catheter as well as display of cardiac maps in a number of different formats. For example, maps may be displayed as cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps, and cardiac chamber geometry maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms may also be displayed on the System's display screen.
Device Description
The CARTO® 3 System is a new platform for the CARTO® Navigation System that incorporates new hardware and software updates. The CARTO® 3 System is a catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping system designed to acquire and analyze individual data points, and use this information to display 3D electroanatomical maps of the human heart in real-time. The location information needed to create the cardiac maps and the local electrograms are acquired using a specialized mapping catheter and reference device. The system allows real-time display of cardiac maps based on the received intra cardiac signals from the catheters in a number of different formats. For example, maps may be displayed as cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps and cardiac chamber geometry maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electro grams may also be displayed on the display screen. Unlike conventional mapping systems that utilize fluoroscopy to visualize the catheter, the CARTO® 3 System uses two distinct types of location technology. In order to locate the tip of the catheter, the System uses "Sensor Technology". In order to locate the electrodes on the catheter shaft, the System uses Active Current Localization (ACL) Technology. Six external reference patches (which are accessories to the system and needed for both tip and electrode localization) are placed externally on the patient's chest and back (three are placed on the chest and three are placed on the patient's back). Sensors at the distal end of each of the six "Patch Sensor Cables" attach to the external reference patches via a stud/snap connector. When used with the CARTO® 3 System, the intracardiac location of the tip of the navigation catheter (such as the NaviStar Catheter) and the electrodes on the catheter shaft are referenced to the mean calculation obtained from the three sensors located in the Patch Sensor Cables (which are attached to the patient's back) and enable the CARTO® 3 System to construct 3D electrophysiological and electroanatomical maps of the human heart in real-time.
More Information

No
The summary describes a navigation and mapping system based on sensor technology and active current localization, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is used for mapping and visualization, not for direct treatment or therapy. It aids in diagnosis and procedural guidance but does not apply energy or substances to treat a condition.

Yes
The device is described as a "catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping system" that creates "3D electroanatomical maps of the human heart" and displays various cardiac maps (electrical activation, propagation, potential, geometry) from acquired patient signals like ECGs and electrograms, which are all diagnostic activities.

No

The device description explicitly states that the CARTO® 3 System incorporates "new hardware and software updates" and details various hardware components like specialized mapping catheters, reference devices, external reference patches, and patch sensor cables.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System is a catheter-based system used for mapping the electrical activity and geometry of the human heart in real-time. It uses specialized catheters and external reference patches to acquire signals and location information directly from within and around the patient's body.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The system does not analyze samples taken from the body. It directly interacts with the patient's heart and uses electrical signals and location data acquired in vivo.

Therefore, the CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnosis and guidance during procedures, but it is not an in vitro diagnostic device.

The new features offered with the CARTO® 3 System which differ from the current CARTO® XP V7 EP System include the following:

  • Catheter shaft and electrode visualization.
  • Ability to connect and visualize more than one catheter simultaneously.
  • The CARTO® XP V7 System utilizes an external reference device that incorporates the reference sensor into the adhesive patches. This patch/sensor/cable device is a completely separate device and is sold separately from the CARTO® XP V7 System. The external reference for the CARTO® 3 System, on the other hand, is an integral component of the "Patch Unit" of the system. Only the adhesive patches are sold separately as accessories.

The new features offered with the CARTO® 3 System which differ from the current CARTO® XP V7 EP System include the following:

  • · Catheter shaft and electrode visualization.
  • · Ability to connect and visualize more than one catheter simultaneously.
  • · The CARTO® XP V7 System utilizes an external reference device that incorporates the reference sensor into the adhesive patches. This patch/sensor/cable device is a completely separate device and is sold separately from the CARTO® XP V7 System. The external reference for the CARTO® 3 System, on the other hand, is an integral component of the "Patch Unit" of the system. Only the adhesive patches are sold separately as accessories.

5.3 Indications for Use:

  • The CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System and accessories are intended for catheterbased atrial and ventricular mapping. The mapping system allows real-time visualization of the catheter as well as display of cardiac maps in a number of different formats. For example, maps may be displayed as cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps and cardiac chamber geometry maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms may also be displayed on the System's display screen.

Performance Data: 5.4

The CARTO® 3 System and accessories underwent bench, animal and electrical safety testing. The CARTO® 3 System and accessories passed all intended criteria in accordance with appropriate test criteria and standards.

5.5 Overall Performance Conclusions:

Based on the results of the Risk Analysis, the bench, animal and electrical safety studies performed and the comprehensive safety analysis, we concluded that the risk to benefit ratio for the use of the CARTO® 3 System for catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping has not been negatively affected by the proposed design changes. In summary, the CARTO® 3 System (which incorporates the external reference device within the system) described in this submission is substantially equivalent to Biosense Webster's CARTO® XP V7 EP System, the CARTO® RMT V8 EP System, the RefStar External Reference Patch and to Endocardial Solution's EnSite System and are as safe and effective as the predicate devices for catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping.
