Intended Use
The Amigo Remote Catheter System (Amigo) is intended to facilitate manipulation, positioning and control of percutaneous diagnostic catheters for stimulating cardiac tissue and for recording electrophysiological data in the right atrium and right ventricle. The safety and effectiveness of this device for ablation in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, has not been established. The safety and effectiveness of this device for cardiac mapping when used with ANY CATHETERS OTHER THAN the Boston Scientific Blazer® Dx-20 and Biosense Webster EZ STEER" diagnostic catheters has not been established.
Device Description
The Amigo Remote Catheter System (Amigo) is designed to create a simple interface with commercially available catheters allowing the physician to insert, withdraw and rotate the catheter, and deflect the catheter tip via the remote controller. Catheter placement and positioning is performed under direct visualization using standard imaging equipment, while enabling the physician to remain seated and away from the xray radiation field. The Amigo system includes several disposable components which help to maintain the sterile field.
More Information

K/DEN: Not Found

No
The summary describes a remote-controlled mechanical system for manipulating catheters, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is intended to facilitate manipulation, positioning, and control of percutaneous diagnostic catheters for stimulating cardiac tissue and recording electrophysiological data, not for direct therapeutic treatment itself. While diagnostic information can lead to therapeutic interventions, the device's function is diagnostic support.

Yes

The Amigo Remote Catheter System is intended to facilitate manipulation, positioning and control of percutaneous diagnostic catheters for stimulating cardiac tissue and for recording electrophysiological data. It explicitly states that its safety and effectiveness for cardiac mapping is established when used with specific diagnostic catheters, indicating its role in a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly states the system includes "several disposable components" and mentions electrical/mechanical safety tests, biocompatibility studies, and sterilization, indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the body.
  • Amigo's Function: The Amigo Remote Catheter System is used to manipulate and position catheters inside the body (in the right atrium and right ventricle) for diagnostic purposes (stimulating cardiac tissue and recording electrophysiological data). This is an in vivo procedure, not in vitro.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's heart, not on a sample taken from the patient.

Therefore, the Amigo Remote Catheter System is a medical device used for in vivo diagnostic procedures, not an IVD.

Statement of Intended Use:

The Amigo is intended to facilitate manipulation, positioning and control of percutaneous diagnostic catheters for stimulating cardiac tissue and for recording electrophysiological data in the right atrium and right ventricle.

The safety and effectiveness of this device for ablation in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, has not been established.

The safety and effectiveness of this device for cardiac mapping when used with any catheter other than the Boston Scientific Blazer® Dx-20 and Biosense Webster EZ STEER™ diagnostic catheters has not been established.

Summary of Technological Characteristics in Comparison to the Predicate Device:

The Amigo is substantially equivalent to the predicated device. Both the proposed and predicate devices provide stability for positioning of EP catheters, while allowing the physician to perform the procedure from a position beyond the radiation field.

Substantial Equivalence:

Based upon the intended use and technical information provided in this pre-market notification, the Amigo and accessories have been shown to be substantially equivalent to currently marketed predicate device.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:

Design verification and validation testing was performed to ensure that the Amigo and accessories met design specifications and customer requirements. Testing activities included electrical/mechanical safety tests and functional performance tests as well as cleaning, biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life and transit studies.

Risk analysis activities were completed based on ISO 14971. Electrical/mechanical device safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing were conducted in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and 60601-1-2, respectively. Supporting biocompatibility studies were performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1.

Summary of Clinical Testing:

No additional clinical evaluations of the Amigo for the intended use were performed.
