Intended Use
The Reprocessed Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Diagnostic Ultrasound rounded tip catheter is indicated for enhanced ultrasonic visualization of intracardiac structures.
Device Description
The Reprocessed Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter is a 9F (3mm) diameter and 9 MHz frequency IntraCardiac Echocardiography Catheter which is 110cm in lenath. The Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Catheter is constructed with an inner core and proximal connector. The catheter has a distal imaging window and an inserted rotatable imaging core with a distal ultrasound transducer. The 9F (3mm)/9MHz Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Catheter can be used with the ClearView Ultra™ DSP system only after implementation of version 4.22 software or higher, or the Galaxy™ system. Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Catheters rely on the rotational fidelity of the internal transducer and driveshaft assembly to accurately coincide with the position sensing electronics located in the Motordrive Unit (MDU). This arrangement is necessary in order to reduce the overall diameter of the catheter and to ensure that image information is displayed correctly on the screen.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical construction and basic functionality of an ultrasound catheter and its compatibility with specific systems. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing that would suggest the use of these technologies.

No.
The device is indicated for "enhanced ultrasonic visualization of intracardiac structures," which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" statement explicitly calls the device a "Diagnostic Ultrasound rounded tip catheter" and states its purpose is "for enhanced ultrasonic visualization of intracardiac structures," which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a transducer, driveshaft, and connector, 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 "enhanced ultrasonic visualization of intracardiac structures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for imaging, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed to be inserted into the heart for ultrasound imaging. This is consistent with an in vivo diagnostic imaging device.
  • Input Imaging Modality: "Ultrasonic Pulsed Echo Imaging" is a technique used for in vivo imaging.
  • Anatomical Site: "Intracardiac structures" are within the body.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is used to directly visualize structures within the body using ultrasound.

Device Description

The Reprocessed Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter is a 9F (3mm) diameter and 9 MHz frequency IntraCardiac Echocardiography Catheter which is 110cm in lenath.

The Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Catheter is constructed with an inner core and proximal connector. The catheter has a distal imaging window and an inserted rotatable imaging core with a distal ultrasound transducer.

The 9F (3mm)/9MHz Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Catheter can be used with the ClearView Ultra™ DSP system only after implementation of version 4.22 software or higher, or the Galaxy™ system.

Ultra IntraCardiac Echo Catheters rely on the rotational fidelity of the internal transducer and driveshaft assembly to accurately coincide with the position sensing electronics located in the Motordrive Unit (MDU). This arrangement is necessary in order to reduce the overall diameter of the catheter and to ensure that image information is displayed correctly on the screen. Although the transducer and driveshaft assembly is relatively rugged, its performance depends on free rotation of the shaft within the catheter body. Pinching, crushing, and extremely sharp bends are to be avoided during use and handling.

Although the catheter body will adequately protect and guide the internal rotating assembly, care should be taken so that the catheter body is not abraded, cut or used to pull the motor assembly into position. The catheter body is formed at its distal tip so that the ultrasound energy is efficiently emitted and received. Design and functional constraints require that the distal tip be less strong, rendering it more susceptible to crushing and bending than the proximal portions. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that the tip be carefully inspected visually prior to use and after removal.
