Intended Use
The Cardiox Flow Detection System Model 99 provides a fluorescent ICG indicator dye dilution curve for cardiac output in patients with known or suspected circulatory pathway abnormalities. The system is not designed to produce a definitive interpretation or exhaustive evaluation of a patient's circulatory pathway. Rather, it is intended to be used as a support tool in conjunction with other clinical and diagnostic findings. This device is only intended for use on patients that weigh more than 10kg.
Device Description
The Cardiox Flow Detection System (FDS) Model 99 utilizes near infra-red (NIR) spectrophotometry to transcutaneously detect the presence and relative concentration of indocyanine green dye (ICG) in blood vessels located at the scaphoid fossa of the ear. The indicator dye, ICG, is injected into a peripheral antecubital vein of the patient while the patient optionally blows into the ValsalvaSure™ mouthpiece. The exhalation by the patient into the mouthpiece (i.e., performing a Valsalva maneuver) is available to provide conditions that may expose abnormal blood flow. The ValsalvaSure maneuver creates a pressure differential resulting in a right-to-left flow of blood between the atria, which results in a right-to-left-shunt (RLS) through any existing Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and/or patent foramen ovale (PFO). The RLS allows blood to flow directly from the right atrium of the left atrium of the heart without passing through the lungs. The optical sensors in the Cardiox Earpads measure the relative concentration (i.e., fluorescence signal level) of ICG in the bloodstream as a function of time. Once captured by the photodiodes, the measured fluorescence signal is transmitted to the FDS Monitor. In a subject with a normal circulatory pathway, the ICG is injected into an antecubital vein, travels through the heart and lungs then into the arterial vasculature, and is detected at the scaphoid fossa of the ear. The magnitude of the ICG curve peak amplitude is measured and displayed by the Cardiox FDS monitor, and is referred to as the Major Curve Peak Amplitude. in a subject with an abnormality in the circulatory pathway, such as a RLS, some of the ICG dye arriving in the right atrium follows a shorter pathway between the right atrium and left atrium, instead of traveling through the anatomically longer pathway through the lungs. This fraction of ICG dye that passes through an anatomical abnormality arrives at the scaphoid fossa of the ear in advance of the main bolus of ICG dye that follows the normal circulatory pathway through the lungs. The magnitude of the ICG curve peak amplitude associated with the earlier arrival of dye is measured and displayed by the Cardiox FDS monitor, and is referred to as the Minor Curve Peak Amplitude. The report generated by the Cardiox FDS Model 99 identifies the Major Curve and Minor Curve Peak Amplitudes.

The device description explicitly states, "The system is not designed to produce a definitive interpretation or exhaustive evaluation of a patient's circulatory pathway. Rather, it is intended to be used as a support tool in conjunction with other clinical and diagnostic findings." This indicates it provides information to assist diagnosis, but does not itself provide a definitive diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as optical sensors, photodiodes, and a monitor, which are integral to its function of detecting and measuring ICG concentration.

Based on the provided information, the Cardiox Flow Detection System Model 99 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Cardiox System Function: The Cardiox system works by transcutaneously detecting the presence and concentration of ICG dye in blood vessels at the scaphoid fossa of the ear using near infra-red spectrophotometry. This is a non-invasive method that does not involve taking a sample from the patient's body for analysis outside of the body.
  • Method of Detection: The system measures the fluorescence signal of the ICG dye directly within the blood vessels, not in a sample that has been removed and processed.

Therefore, while the system provides diagnostic information about the patient's circulatory pathway, it does so through a non-invasive, in-vivo measurement rather than an in-vitro analysis of a biological sample.

Technological Characteristics:

The Cardiox FDS Model 99 utilizes near-infrared (NIR) spectrophotometry to detect the presence of Indocyanine Green for Injection (ICG) dye in the peripheral vasculature. Spectrophotometry is the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength.

The FDS Earpads™, including their fluorescence sensor arrays (FSA™), are used to measure and indicate the relative concentration (i.e., fluorescence signal level) of ICG dye in the bloodstream as a function of time. The Earpads contain two sets of three for a total of six coupled laser diode (LD) light sources and photodiodes. The Earpads are positioned on the surface of the subject's skin at the scaphoid fossa of each ear. When a predetermined dose of the ICG dye is injected into a peripheral antecubital vein in the human body, it is rapidly bound to plasma protein, and generates fluorescence in the NIR range (835 nm center wavelength in whole blood) when excited by light (785 nm wavelength) from the Earpads' LD light source.

The system's detector measures the time-varying intensity of emitted fluorescence photons over a predetermined time interval. The measured intensity of the emitted fluorescence photons is proportional to the concentration of the dye in the blood and can thereby provide an indicator dye-dilution curve that characterizes blood flow through the heart.

Once captured by the photodiodes, the measured fluorescence signal is transmitted from the FDS Earpads to the FDS Monitor for recording, displaying, and reporting the indicator dyedilution curves to the clinician.

Abnormal characteristics in the circulatory system present as a distortion in the measured indicator dye dilution curve and can be characterized in terms of its minor peak amplitude relative to the major peak amplitude of the indicator dye dilution curve associated with cardiac output. ICG is FDA-approved and indicated for "determining cardiac output, hepatic function and liver blood flow, and for ophthalmic angiography."
