Intended Use

The AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter is intended to be used in the right and left atrial chambers to collect ultrasound data for visualizing the selected chamber and recording electrical impulses in patients with complex arrhythmias that may be difficult to identify using conventional mapping systems alone.

Device Description

Electrode Recording Catheter/Transducer Ultrasound

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter, but it primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the manner an AI/ML device would typically be evaluated (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity for classification tasks).

However, I can extract the information relevant to a "study" that assessed the device's performance, even if it's not a typical AI/ML validation study. The closest an AI/ML validation study with the criteria you listed comes is the "DDRAMATIC-SVT" clinical study.

Here's the breakdown based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria for parameters like sensitivity, specificity, or image quality, as it's a 510(k) submission focused on substantial equivalence for a medical device that collects data for imaging and mapping, not an AI/ML diagnostic output. The "performance" is primarily described in terms of the device's ability to safely and effectively perform its intended function.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Safety for intended useDemonstrated as safe in a clinical study of 84 patients.
Effectiveness for intended use (gathering data to create 3D maps and record electrical impulses)Demonstrated as effective in a clinical study of 84 patients. The AcQMap System can create right and/or left atrial dipole density activation maps.
Compliance with established specifications for consistent performanceNonclinical testing (dimensional, visual, functional, mechanical, corrosion, electrode coating, acoustic output, accuracy) met established specifications.

Study Details (Based on the DDRAMATIC-SVT Clinical Study):

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: 84 patients.
    • Data Provenance: Prospective, non-randomized, open-label study conducted at eight clinical sites outside the U.S.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • This information is not provided in the text. The study describes "gathering data to create... dipole density activation maps" and "recording electrical impulses," implying physician interpretation of the generated maps and electrical data, but the number and qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment are not detailed.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • This information is not provided in the text.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • This was not a MRMC comparative effectiveness study and does not involve AI assistance for human readers in the context described. The device itself is a data collection and imaging tool, not an AI diagnostic algorithm.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:

    • This was not a standalone algorithm performance study. The device's function is to collect data for physicians to interpret. The text states it helps in "identifying complex arrhythmias that may be difficult to identify using conventional mapping systems alone," implying human interpretation of the device's output.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • The text describes the study as demonstrating "safety and performance in gathering data to create right and/or left atrial dipole density activation maps." The "ground truth" for the effectiveness of the device as a data collection tool would implicitly be its ability to generate these maps and record electrical impulses as intended, likely verified by the practicing cardiologists using the system during the study. It's not explicitly tied to a definitive "ground truth" like pathology or a hard clinical outcome in the same way an AI diagnostic would be.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • This information is not applicable/not provided. The device is a hardware system for data collection and imaging, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • This information is not applicable/not provided as there is no training set for an AI/ML model.

510(k) SUMMARY

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The indications for use for the predicate device is substantially equivalent to the proposed indications for use for the AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

PERFORMANCE DATA [807.92(b)]

All necessary bench testing was conducted on the AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

510(k) SUMMARY

Mapping Catheter does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness for collecting data that enables the creation of 3D anatomic maps that display chamber-wide electrical activation when compared to the predicate device.

Clinical Testing Summary [807.92(b)(2)]:

Although clinical testing is not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device for its intended use, Acutus performed a clinical study to demonstrate the safety and performance of the AcQMap High Resolution Imaging and Mapping System (AcQMap System) in gathering data to create right and/or left atrial dipole density activation maps in subjects with supraventricular tachycardia. The study entitled. "Dipole Density Right (and left) Atrial Mapping and Assessment of Therapy In Complex Supraventricular Tachycardia, (DDRAMATIC-SVT)" is a prospective, non-randomized, open-label study conducted at eight clinical sites outside the U.S. The results for 84 patients demonstrates that the AcQMap Catheter is safe and effective for its intended use.

CONCLUSIONS [807.92(b)(3)]

Extensive nonclinical performance testing was conducted on the AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter to evaluate the overall performance of the device. Acutus also performed validation testing including usability, accuracy and clinical testing to evaluate the performance of the AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter with the AcQMap System. The collective results demonstrate that the AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter is safe and effective for its intended use.

SUMMARY

The AcQMap 3D Imaging and Mapping Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 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).
