Intended Use
The St. Jude Medical Epicardial Catheter System is intended for electrophysiology studies involving the epicardial surface of the heart.
Device Description
The St. Jude Medical Epicardial Catheter System consists of the ResponseTM 6 French quadripolar electrophysiology catheter and the AgilisTM NxT 40 cm steerable guiding introducer (which includes a dilator, guidewire and steerable sheath). The Agilis NxT Steerable Introducer provides pericardial access for the Response catheter to perform electrophysiology studies of the epicardial surface of the heart.
More Information

None

No
The summary describes a catheter and introducer system for electrophysiology studies, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML mentions.

No
The device is intended for electrophysiology studies, which are diagnostic procedures, not therapeutic interventions.

Yes
The device is described as being "intended for electrophysiology studies involving the epicardial surface of the heart" and specifically to "perform electrophysiology studies of the epicardial surface of the heart." Electrophysiology studies are diagnostic procedures used to understand the electrical activity of the heart.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a catheter, a guiding introducer, a dilator, a guidewire, and a steerable sheath.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "electrophysiology studies involving the epicardial surface of the heart." This describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's heart, not a test performed on a sample (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device components (catheter, introducer, sheath) are designed for accessing and interacting with the epicardial surface of the heart in vivo.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is procedural and diagnostic in the sense of measuring electrical activity in situ, not through in vitro analysis.

§ 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).

| Predicate Device(s): | The subject device is equivalent to the following St. Jude Medical
devices:
◦ ResponseTM Electrophysiology Catheter
◦ AgilisTM NxT Steerable Introducer |
| Device Description: | The St. Jude Medical Epicardial Catheter System consists of the
ResponseTM 6 French quadripolar electrophysiology catheter and the
AgilisTM NxT 40 cm steerable guiding introducer (which includes a
dilator, guidewire and steerable sheath). The Agilis NxT Steerable
Introducer provides pericardial access for the Response catheter to
perform electrophysiology studies of the epicardial surface of the heart. |
| Intended Use: | The St. Jude Medical Epicardial Catheter System is intended for
electrophysiology studies involving the epicardial surface of the heart. |
| Comparison to
Predicate Devices | The St. Jude Medical Epicardial Catheter System has a similar intended
use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the predicate
devices. All technological characteristics of the of the Epicardial Catheter
System are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices including
packaging, biocompatibility, sterilization, and labeling. Where
differences exist between the proposed devices and the predicate devices,
performance testing demonstrated that these differences do not adversely
affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed devices. |
| Conclusion: | St. Jude Medical considers the Epicardial Catheter System to be
equivalent to the predicate devices listed above. This conclusion is based
upon the devices' similarities in design, technological characteristics,
principles of operation, materials, and indications for use. |

Dear Mr. Clarin:

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.
