Intended Use
The reprocessed electrophysiology diagnostic catheters are indicated for temporary use during electrophysiology studies for intracardiac sensing, cardiac stimulation, and for the electrophysiological mapping and evaluation of cardiac structures and arrhythmias.
Device Description
SterilMed Reprocessed Reflexion EP diagnostic catheters consist of a shaft with a handle at the proximal end, and are considered to be steerable. These catheters have an outer diameter of either 6 or 7F and are either 99 or 105cm in length, with 2 - 20 platinum, radiopaque tip electrodes and a variety of inter-electrode spacing's and curve styles at the distal tip. The distal tip is steerable and cables connect to the handle and interface between the catheter and an external stimulator and/or an electrophysiological recorder. Note: Only the catheter is the subject of this submission, the external stimulator and/or electrophysiological recorder and any other related equipment are not included in the scope of this submission.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of a reprocessed catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an "electrophysiology diagnostic catheter" used for sensing, stimulation, mapping, and evaluation of cardiac structures and arrhythmias. Its purpose is diagnostic, not therapeutic.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is indicated for "electrophysiological mapping and evaluation of cardiac structures and arrhythmias," which are diagnostic activities.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter with a shaft, handle, electrodes, and cables, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "intracardiac sensing, cardiac stimulation, and for the electrophysiological mapping and evaluation of cardiac structures and arrhythmias." This involves direct interaction with the patient's body for diagnostic purposes related to the heart's electrical activity.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter that is inserted into the body (intracardiac) and connects to external equipment for sensing and stimulation.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not operate on samples taken from the body; it operates within the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for in-vivo (within the living body) diagnostic procedures, not in-vitro diagnostics.

§ 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).
