Intended Use
The CARTO® 3 System V3.0 is intended for catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping. The mapping system allows real-time display of cardiac maps in a number of different formats. Maps may be displayed as anatomical maps, cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps, impedance maps, cardiac chamber geometry maps and ECG fragmentation maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms, may also be displayed in real time on the system's display screen. The CARTO® 3 System V3.0 is also intended to support EP procedures, maintaining CARTO® System capabilities in the presence of a high metallic environment and magnetic field strengths up to 0.1 T and provide a data communication channel to the Stereotaxis Niobe Catheter Navigation System. The CARTO® 3 System V3.0 includes CARTOMERGE® PLUS Module functionality to import, register and merge CT or MRI structural images with CARTO map's physiological information and real time catheter navigation. The system includes the Fast Anatomical Mapping (FAM) functionality that allows for the quick creation of cardiac anatomical volumes using catheters with magnetic location sensors. The system's CARTOSOUND® image integration functionality enables integration of intracardiac echo (ICE) to enable visualization of 3D combined maps. A fluoro background capability enables visualization of X-ray images as reference to the CARTO® Maps images and catheters. In addition to the use of specialized navigation catheters with magnetic location sensors, the system is also intended for use with conventional, non-navigational, electrophysiology catheters without magnetic location sensors.
Device Description
The CARTO® 3 System V3.0 is a catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping system designed to acquire and analyze data points, and use this information to display 3D anatomical and 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 realtime display of electrograms and cardiac maps based on the received intra cardiac signals from the catheters in a number of different formats. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms (IECG) may also be displayed on the display screen. The CARTO® 3 System V3.0 uses two distinct types of location technology - magnetic sensor technology and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology.
More Information

No
The summary describes a system for cardiac mapping and navigation using established technologies like magnetic sensors, electrograms, and image integration (CT, MRI, ICE, X-ray). There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is strictly for mapping, display, and navigation to support EP procedures; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is described as a "catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping system" that "acquires and analyzes data points" to "display 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the human heart in real-time." This process involves gathering physiological information (e.g., electrical activity) to understand the function and structure of the heart, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system acquires location information and electrograms using a "specialized mapping catheter and reference device," indicating the use of hardware components beyond just software. It also mentions integrating data from various imaging modalities (CT, MRI, ICE, X-ray) and interacting with other systems like the Stereotaxis Niobe Catheter Navigation System, further suggesting a system with significant hardware dependencies.

Based on the provided text, the CARTO® 3 System V3.0 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality. This typically involves analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
  • CARTO® 3 System Function: The CARTO® 3 System V3.0 is described as a catheter-based system for mapping the electrical activity and anatomy of the human heart in real-time. It uses catheters inserted into the body to acquire signals and create maps.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description focuses on acquiring and analyzing signals within the body (intracardiac electrograms, body surface ECG) and integrating imaging data (CT, MRI, ICE, X-ray). There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens derived from the body.

Therefore, the CARTO® 3 System V3.0 falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnosis and treatment in vivo (within the living body), rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
