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 compatible CARTO® EP Navigation Systems, the SOUNDSTAR 3D Catheter provides location information.
Device Description
The Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR 3D Ultrasound Catheter is a 90 cm 10F IntraCardiac Echo (ICE) Catheter with an acoustic array identical to the Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR 3D Ultrasound Catheter, model M-5723-12, Ultrasound Catheter. The catheter has a location sensor (providing location information to CARTO® EP Navigation Systems with ultrasound capability) and an ultrasound transducer (acquiring real time ultrasound images) embedded in the tip. The SOUNDSTAR 3D Ultrasound Catheter has a bifurcated 'tail' originating from its handle. One leg terminates in the SOUNDSTAR tab connector, which connects via a Swiftlink cable to an 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 SOUNDSTAR 3D Ultrasound Catheter, when connected to a CARTO® EP Navigation System with ultrasound capability, and the GE Vivid-i or Vivid-q Ultrasound Systems, will provide real-time integration of ultrasound images with CARTO® electromagnetic acquired maps.

No
The summary describes a diagnostic ultrasound catheter and its integration with a navigation system. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced image processing techniques that would suggest the use of these technologies. The focus is on real-time ultrasound imaging and location information.

No.
The device is indicated for intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization and providing location information, which are diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic (treatment) purposes.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is for "visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology" and "visualization of other devices in the heart," which are diagnostic purposes. In addition, the device name itself includes "Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter".

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with embedded hardware components (location sensor, ultrasound transducer) and physical connectors, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is 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." This describes a device used within the body for imaging and navigation, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter with an ultrasound transducer and location sensor for real-time imaging and navigation within the heart. This aligns with an in-vivo imaging device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device provides visual and location information directly from within the body.

IVD devices are designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is an imaging and navigation tool used directly within the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

All testing previously submitted for the predicate SOUNDSTAR 3D Ultrasound Catheter, model number M-5723-12, still applies to the modified device as there were no changes to the design, materials, manufacturing methods or performance of the device. In addition, various functionality testing was performed on the SOUNDSTAR Catheter, model number M-5723-05, with GE Vivid-i/q Ultrasound System and CARTO® 3 System functionality. Testing verified that the three components, when connected simultaneously, functioned appropriately as designed. This additional functionality testing which was performed on the SOUNDSTAR Catheter, model number M-5723-05, demonstrates equivalence to the modified device (model number M-5723-12), as SOUNDSTAR Catheter, model number M-5723-05 is nearly identical to the predicate SOUNDSTAR Catheter, model number M-5723-12, with the exception that the identification codes in the catheter connectors are different. The predicate device, the SOUNDSTAR Catheter, model number M-5723-12, is physically identical to the modified device (model number M-5723-12), which is the subject of this submission. The only modification to model number M-5723-12 is to the labeling of the device to allow compatibility with multiple CARTO® EP Navigation Systems with ultrasound capability. Testing for compatibility with the CARTO 3 EP Navigation Systems is referenced in the Compatibility Summary Report found in Appendix 3.
