Intended Use

The Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR 3D Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter and related accessory devices are indicated for intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart. When used with the CARTO XP EP Navigation System, Version 9.7 or greater, the SOUNDSTAR 3D Catheter provides location information.

Device Description

The modified Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR Catheter is a 90 cm 10F IntraCardiac Echo (ICE) Catheter with an acoustic array identical to the currently cleared Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR Catheter and the ACUSON ACUNAV 10F Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter. The modified SOUNDSTAR Catheter has a location sensor (providing location information to CARTO XP EP Navigation System, Version 9.7 or greater) and an ultrasound transducer (acquiring real time ultrasound images) embedded in the tip. The modified SOUNDSTAR Catheter has a bifurcated 'tail' originating from its handle. One leg terminates in the SOUNDSTAR Flex Tab connector, which connects via a SwiftLink cable to the GE Vivid-i or Vivid-q Ultrasound System. The other leg terminates in the CARTO Hypertronic connector, which connects via a Patient Interface Unit (PIU) extension cable to the CARTO Navigation System. The modified SOUNDSTAR Catheter, when connected to the CARTO XP EP Navigation System, Version 9.7 or greater, and the GE Vivid-i or Vivid-q Ultrasound Systems, will provide real-time integration of ultrasound images with CARTO electromagnetic acquired maps.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes a diagnostic ultrasound catheter that integrates with a navigation system and ultrasound systems to provide real-time imaging and location information. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on hardware integration and data display.

Therapeutic

No
The device is described as a "Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter" and its intended use is for "intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization" and "acquiring real time ultrasound images," which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic ones.

Diagnostic

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is indicated for "intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology," which directly relates to diagnosing conditions. Additionally, a predicate device mentioned is the "ACUSON ACUNAV 10F Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter," further supporting its diagnostic nature.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with embedded hardware components (location sensor, ultrasound transducer) and physical connections to other hardware systems (ultrasound system, navigation system). It is not solely software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Device Function: The Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR 3D Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter is used for intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization of anatomy and other devices within the body. It acquires real-time ultrasound images directly from inside the heart and great vessels.
Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any specimens taken from the body. It operates directly within the patient's circulatory system.

Therefore, its function falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

15.8 PREDICATE DEVICE

The modified SOUNDSTAR 3D Ultrasound Catheter is substantially equivalent to the SOUNDSTAR 3D Ultrasound Catheter (510(k) K070242) cleared on May 15, 2007, and also to the ACUSON ACUNAV 10F Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter (510(k) K071234) cleared on June 29, 2007.

DESCRIPTION OF MODIFIED DEVICE 15.9

15.10 INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR 3D Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter and related accessory devices are indicated for intra-cardiac and intraluminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart. When used with the CARTO XP EP Navigation System, Version 9.7 or greater, the SOUNDSTAR 3D Catheter provides location information.

15.11 DESCRIPTION OF MODIFICATION

The modified SOUNDSTAR Catheter is physically identical to the currently cleared SOUNDSTAR Catheter in terms of design, manufacturing methods, materials and performance. The only modifications were made to the Indications for Use, identification code on the catheter Flex Tab connector, and also to the labeling for the device. Specifically, the Flex Tab connector of the modified SOUNDSTAR Catheter has been modified to include a different identification code so that the modified catheter may

K092064
Pg 3 of 4

only be compatible with the GE Vivid-i and Vivid-q Ultrasound Systems. The modification to the labeling was to include reference of the new GE Vivid-i and Vivid-q Ultrasound Systems in the Instructions for Use, and to provide version specificity of the CARTO System (Version 9.7 or greater) which the modified SOUNDSTAR Catheter has been validated with. Additionally, the package label of the modified SOUNDSTAR Catheter will be a different color from the currently cleared SOUNDSTAR Catheter and will include the statement "Not For Use on Siemens Systems". The purpose for this labeling change will enable users to differentiate between the modified SOUNDSTAR Catheter and the currently cleared SOUNDSTAR Catheter.

SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTS 15.12

All testing previously submitted for the currently cleared SOUNDSTAR Catheter still applies to the modified device as there were no changes to the design, materials, manufacturing methods or performance of the device. Testing for compatibility with the GE Vivid-i and Vivid-q Ultrasound Systems in conjunction with the CARTO XP EP Navigation System Version 9.7 was conducted and all tests met the pre-determined specifications for the SOUNDSTAR Catheter, GE Vivid-i and Vivid-q Ultrasound Systems, and the CARTO System. Please reference the Special 510(k) submission for the GE Vivid-i and Vivid-q Ultrasound Systems (which will be submitted by the end of July 2009), for details regarding systems interface testing.

Dear Ms. Schultz:

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.
