More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a reprocessed electrophysiology catheter used for recording and stimulation, with no mention of AI or ML in its function or analysis.

No.
The device is used for diagnostic purposes (electrogram recording and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiology studies to evaluate cardiac arrhythmias), not for treating or curing a condition.

Yes.
The device's description explicitly states it is used for "electrogram recording and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiology studies."

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical catheter used for electrophysiology studies, which is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used for "evaluation of a variety of cardiac arrhythmias from endocardial and intravascular sites." This involves direct interaction with the patient's body for diagnostic purposes related to the heart's electrical activity.
  • Device Description: The description further clarifies its use for "electrogram recording and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiology studies." This is a procedure performed on a living patient.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not operate on such samples.

The device described is an invasive medical device used for electrophysiology studies, which are performed directly on the patient.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Brandi Panteleon:

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.
