The summary describes a system that uses the patient's cardiac electrical activity (ECG) to aid in positioning PICC lines. It mentions standard electrical safety and biocompatibility testing, but there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, training sets, test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms. The technology described appears to be based on traditional signal processing of ECG data.
No
The device is indicated for use as a supplemental aid in positioning for Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) and provides real-time catheter tip location information. It does not treat or cure a disease or condition, which is characteristic of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated as a supplemental aid in positioning for PICC and provides real-time catheter tip location information, but it explicitly states that confirmation of tip placement must be verified by clinical judgment and established hospital protocol (e.g., Chest X-Ray, Fluoroscopy), indicating it does not provide a definitive diagnosis on its own.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components including an iPad® monitor, C3 hub, remote control, ECG clip cable, and various procedural accessories.
Based on the provided information, the C3 Wave System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in positioning for PICC lines by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity. This is a physiological measurement taken directly from the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body.
- Device Description: The components listed (monitor, hub, cables, electrodes) are consistent with a device that interacts with the patient's body to measure electrical signals.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or performing tests on materials derived from the body.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The C3 Wave System's function is to monitor a physiological signal (ECG) to assist in a medical procedure (PICC placement).
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The C3 Wave System is indicated for use as a supplemental aid in positioning for Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) in adult patients. It provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity. Confirmation of tip placement should be verified according to clinical judgement and established hospital protocol (e.g., Chest X-Ray, Fluoroscopy). Note: Limiting, but not contraindicated, situations for this technique are patients where cardiac rhythms may change presentation of the P wave: atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia, pacemaker driven rhythm, and cronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Such patients are easily identified prior to PICC insertion. Use of additional confirmation method is necessary to confirm catheter tip location.

D. Device Description:
The C3 Wave system includes the iPad® monitor running the mobile application software, the C3 hub (a battery and power supply cord for the hub), a remote control, and an ECG clip cable (alligator clip). Procedural accessories include the ECG snap leads, ECG patient cable, ECG electrodes, remote cover, and prep pads which are provided as a convenience to the clinician.
E. Intended Use:
The C3 Wave System is intended to provide real time tip location information of a central venous catheter by utilization of ECG to observe P-wave changes as the tip approaches the right atrium of the heart via the superior vena cava.
แ Indications for Use:
The C3 Wave System is indicated for use as a supplemental aid in positioning for Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) in adult patients. It provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity. Confirmation of tip placement should be verified according to clinical judgement and established hospital protocol (e.g., Chest X-Ray, Fluoroscopy). Note: Limiting, but not contraindicated, situations for this technique are patients where cardiac rhythms may change presentation of the P wave: atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia, pacemaker driven rhythm, and cronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Such patients are easily identified prior to PICC insertion. Use of additional confirmation method is necessary to confirm catheter tip location.

The C3 Wave system is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of intended use, indication for use, anatomical location, basic design, performance, and labeling.
The difference between the C3 Wave system and the predicate device is in the use of Bluetooth® technology to digitally transfer the ECG waveform to the mobile application running on the iPad® monitor, and also the use of Bluetooth® technology in the remote control which allows the clinician to control the system without breaking the sterile field. The use of Bluetooth® technology eliminates the need to have cables running from the patient to the monitor and improves patient comfort.
Performance Testing:
Design verification and validation activities were performed in accordance with Design Control requirements per 21 CFR 820.30 and demonstrate that the subject C3 Wave system meets predetermined performance specifications.
The performance evaluation plan included testing per the following recognized standards to assess conformance to IEC 60601-1 (3rd Edition).
IEC 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Safety
- IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance - Collateral Standard Electro Magnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Test
ដែ Biocompatibility:
C3 Wave patient contact is limited to the ECG cables. The C3 hub can have limited patient contact if the clinician places the hub on the patient's chest, however the hub can perform the exact same function if placed beside the patient therefore having no patient contact. As a result, biocompatibility testing was conducted on the C3 Wave hub and ECG cables (ECG Alligator Clip and Power Supply Cable) according to ISO 10993-1. The following test results demonstrate that the material used meets ISO 10993 requirements for an external communicating device with circulating blood path:

J. Technological Characteristics:
Technological Characteristics of the C3 Wave system are equivalent to the predicate device with respect to the basic system design but differ in the technology employed to accomplish the same adjunct function. Even with the technology differences between the predicate and proposed devices, no new questions of effectiveness are raised.
Summary of Substantial Equivalence:
The proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on:
- The Intended Use .
- Indications for Use .
- e Basic system design
- o Operating principle
- o Results of performance testing
