The summary describes a physical medical device (catheter) and its reprocessing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
No.
The device is used for diagnostic purposes (sensing, recording, pacing for electrophysiological mapping and evaluation of cardiac structures and arrhythmias) and not for treating or curing a condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the catheters are intended for "intracardiac sensing, recording, and pacing for the electrophysiological mapping and evaluation of cardiac structures and arrhythmias," which describes a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, steerable catheter with electrodes and a hand piece, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an "EP diagnostic catheter" intended for "intracardiac sensing, recording, and pacing for the electrophysiological mapping and evaluation of cardiac structures and arrhythmias." This means it is used inside the body to interact directly with the heart's electrical activity.
The device is used for diagnosis, but it does so through direct interaction within the body, not by analyzing samples taken from the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The reprocessed EP diagnostic catheters are intended for temporary use during electrophysiology studies for intracardiac sensing, recording, and pacing for the electrophysiological mapping and evaluation of cardiac structures and arrhythmias. The catheter is designed for use in the coronary sinus.

Device Description
The EP diagnostic catheters are steerable, multi-electrode catheters with a deflectable tip designed to facilitate electrophysiological mapping of the heart. The catheters have a high-torque shaft with a braided uni-directional deflectable tip section containing an array of ten platinum electrodes that includes a 2 mm tip dome, which can be used for stimulation and recording. The catheters are 6 French with a usable length of 115 cm. The braided tip is controlled by a proximal hand piece that features a thumb operated sliding piston, and is offered in various curve types. The high-torque shaft allows the plane of the curved tip to be rotated to facilitate accurate positioning of the catheter tip at the desired site.

Summary of Performance Studies
Functional and Safety Testing: Representative samples of reprocessed EP diagnostic catheters were tested to demonstrate appropriate functional characteristics. Process validation testing was performed to validate the cleaning and sterilization procedures as well as device packaging. In addition, the manufacturing process includes visual and validated functional testing of 100% of products reprocessed. The reprocessed EP diagnostic catheters are reprocessed no more than four (4) times. Each device is marked and tracked through each reprocessing cycle. After the device has reached the maximum number of reprocessing cycles, the device is rejected from further reprocessing is performed only by the manufacturer Sterilmed. Sterilmed restricts its reprocessings to exclude devices previously reprocessed by other reprocessors.
Summary of Non-clinical Tests Conducted: Specific non-clinical tests performed included: cleaning validation, sterilization validation (ISO 11135, USP ), biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-1), ethylene oxide residual testing (ISO 10993-7), packaging validation (ASTM D 4169, ASTM F 88, ASTM F 2096), and shelf life validation (ASTM F 1980). In addition, validation of functional performance (bench testing) was performed through simulated use, visual inspection, fatigue testing, and function testing. Performance testing shows the reprocessed EP diagnostic catheters to perform as originally intended.

§ 870.1220 Electrode recording catheter or electrode recording probe.
(a)
Identification. An electrode recording catheter or an electrode recording probe is a device used to detect an intracardiac electrocardiogram, or to detect cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunts. The device may be unipolar or multipolar for electrocardiogram detection, or may be a platinum-tipped catheter which senses the presence of a special indicator for cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunt determinations.(b)

Dear Patricia F. Kaufman:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act
