Intended Use
The ViewFlex Xtra ICE Catheter is indicated for use in adult and adolescent pediatric patients to visualize cardiac structures, blood flow and other devices within the heart.
Device Description
The ViewFlex Xtra ICE Catheter is inserted into the heart via intravascular access. The ViewFlex Xtra is a sterile, single use, temporary, intracardiac ultrasound catheter indicated for use in adult and adolescent pediatric patients. The ViewFlex catheter shaft is a 9 French catheter constructed with radiopaque tubing with a useable length of 90 cm. The shaft is compatible with a 10 French or larger introducer for insertion into the femoral or jugular veins. The catheter tip is a 64-element linear phased array transducer housed in silicone. The distal portion of the shaft is deflectable in four directions allowing for left-to-right and anterior-to-posterior deflection. The handle of the device has two deflection mechanisms that correspond with the movement of the distal shaft in the four planes of movement. The ViewFlex Xtra is compatible with ViewMate II, ViewMate Z and Philips CX50 ultrasound consoles.
More Information

No
The document describes a physical ultrasound catheter and its compatibility with existing ultrasound consoles. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device is used to visualize cardiac structures, blood flow, and other devices within the heart, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

No

The device is marketed as a visualization tool ("to visualize cardiac structures, blood flow and other devices within the heart") and the "Summary of Performance Studies" explicitly states "the use of the images is limited to visualization with no direct or indirect diagnostic use."

No

The device description explicitly details a physical catheter with a transducer, shaft, and handle, 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:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The ViewFlex Xtra ICE Catheter is an in vivo device. It is inserted directly into the heart within the patient's body to visualize structures and devices.

The description clearly states it's an "intracardiac ultrasound catheter" inserted "via intravascular access" to "visualize cardiac structures, blood flow and other devices within the heart." This is the definition of an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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

There have been no device changes and no changes to the visualization location. This submission is to expand the current indications for use to include visualizing other devices within the heart. Demonstration of the ability of the ViewFlex Xtra ICE catheter to image devices in the heart was provided by referencing image quality testing and data for the cleared ViewFlex Xtra ICE catheter (K121381) and images collected during the use of the predicates for visualizing other devices within the heart. The Instructions for Use was updated to include examples of types of devices which could be imaged using the ViewFlex Xtra ICE catheter and that the use of the images is limited to visualization with no direct or indirect diagnostic use.
