Intended Use
The CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is intended to amplify and condition electrocardiographic signals of biologic origin and pressure transducer input, transmitting this information to a host computer (the LabSystem PRO EP Recording System) that can record and display the information.
Device Description
The LabSystem Pro (LS PRO) EP Recording System (K141185) with CLEARSIGN/CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is an integrated system that acquires, displays, records, and measures physiological signals that originate from that heart. The CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is a reusable electromedical device containing hardware and software that acquires, conditions and presents the physiological signal to the LabSystem PRO EP Recording System such that the signals are available for clinical user selection, display and recording. The CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is used in conjunction with the compatible diagnostic electrophysiology (EP) catheters, surface ECG leads, intravascular pressure transducers, intracardiac stimulators, RF ablation generators and cardiac ablation catheters. The CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is intended for use during EP diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in an EP cath lab.
More Information

No
The summary describes a system for acquiring, conditioning, and displaying physiological signals. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The device appears to be a standard signal amplifier and recording system.

No.
The device is intended to amplify and condition electrocardiographic signals for recording and display, not to treat a condition. While it is used during therapeutic procedures, its function is diagnostic/monitoring, not therapeutic.

Yes
The device is described as being used during "EP diagnostic and therapeutic procedures" and in conjunction with "compatible diagnostic electrophysiology (EP) catheters," indicating its role in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is a "reusable electromedical device containing hardware and software".

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is intended to amplify and condition biologic signals (electrocardiographic and pressure transducer input) from the patient's body. It transmits this information for recording and display.
  • Device Description: It acquires, displays, records, and measures physiological signals that originate from the heart. It is used in conjunction with devices that interact directly with the patient (catheters, leads, transducers, stimulators, generators).
  • Nature of the Input: The input is physiological data directly from the patient, not a sample of human origin (like blood, urine, tissue) that is tested in vitro.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is focused on acquiring and processing real-time physiological signals from a living patient.

| Device
Description | The LabSystem Pro (LS PRO) EP Recording System (K141185) with
CLEARSIGN/CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is an integrated system that
acquires, displays, records, and measures physiological signals that
originate from that heart. The CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is a reusable
electromedical device containing hardware and software that acquires,
conditions and presents the physiological signal to the LabSystem PRO
EP Recording System such that the signals are available for clinical user
selection, display and recording. The CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is used in
conjunction with the compatible diagnostic electrophysiology (EP)
catheters, surface ECG leads, intravascular pressure transducers,
intracardiac stimulators, RF ablation generators and cardiac ablation
catheters. The CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is intended for use during EP
diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in an EP cath lab. |
| Intended Use/
Indications for
Use | The CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is intended to amplify and condition
electrocardiographic signals of biologic origin and pressure transducer
input, transmitting this information to a host computer (the LabSystem
PRO EP Recording System) that can record and display the information. |
| Comparison of
Technological
Characteristics | The predicate device for this 510(k) Premarket Notification is the
CLEARSIGN (Borealis) Amplifier, K050006 cleared May 27, 2005. The
Indications for Use between the predicate, CLEARSIGN Amplifier, and the
proposed device, CLEARSIGN II Amplifier, are identical. The
CLEARSIGN II Amplifier incorporates fundamentally the same
technological characteristics as the predicate device. The basic
architecture and design of the hardware and software are the same; the
only changes are to bring the equipment to state-of-the-art (specifically,
compliance with IEC 60601-1, 3rd Edition), to comply with the EU RoHS
Directive, and to implement minor performance improvements. Therefore,
the CLEARSIGN II Amplifier is substantially equivalent to the predicate
device. |
