Intended Use
The Reprocessed Cristacath Diagnostic EP Catheter is indicated for electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures, i.e. stimulation and recording only. The catheter is designed to facilitate electrograms in the atrial regions of the heart.
Device Description
The Reprocessed CristaCath Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters have been designed for electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures. The catheters have a high-torque shaft with a tip section containing ten pairs of platinum electrodes that can easily be seen under fluoroscopy. The Deflectable Tip CristaCath catheters facilitate simultaneous local electrograms due to the greater number of electrodes and their deflection capabilities. The deflection is controlled at the proximal end by a tubular handpiece in which a piston slides. When the piston is pushed forward with the thumbknob, the tip is deflected (curved). When the piston is pulled back, the tip straightens. The high-torque shaft allows the plan of the curved tip to be rotated to facilitate accurate positioning of the catheter tip at the desired site.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical medical device (a catheter) for electrophysiological mapping and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
The device is indicated for "electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures, i.e. stimulation and recording only," which is diagnostic, not therapeutic.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "indicated for electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures" and "designed to facilitate electrograms", which are diagnostic activities. The device description also explicitly calls it a "Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheter".

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with electrodes, a shaft, a handpiece, and a deflection mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a catheter used for "electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures, i.e. stimulation and recording only." This involves inserting the device into the body to interact directly with the heart.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "electrophysiological mapping," which is an invasive procedure performed within the body.

Therefore, because the device is used inside the body for direct interaction with cardiac structures, it falls under the category of an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 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 Amy Stoklas-Oakes:

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.

Indications for Use:

The Reprocessed CristaCath Diagnostic EP Catheter is indicated for electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures, i.e. stimulation and recording only. The catheter is designed to facilitate electrograms in the atrial regions of the heart.

Technological Characteristics:

The purpose, design, materials, function, and intended use of the CristaCath Diagnostic EP Catheters are identical to the predicate devices. There are no changes to the claims, clinical applications, patient population, performance specifications, or method of operation. In addition, Innovative Health's reprocessing of these devices includes removal of visible soil and decontamination. Each device is inspected and function tested prior to packaging and labeling.

Functional and Safety Testing:

Bench and laboratory testing was conducted to demonstrate performance (safety and effectiveness) of the Reprocessed CristaCath Diagnostic EP Catheters.

This included the following:

  • Biocompatibility ●
  • Cleaning Validation ●
  • Sterilization Validation ●
  • Functional Testing
    • Visual Inspection ●
    • Dimensional Verification ●
    • Electrical Continuity and Resistance .
    • Simulated Use ●
    • . Mechanical Characteristics
  • Electrical Safety Testing ●
    • . Dielectric and Current Leakage
  • . Packaging Validation

The Reprocessed CristaCath Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters are reprocessed no more than one (1) time. Each device is marked and tracked. After the device has reached the maximum number of reprocessing cycles, the device is rejected from further reprocessing. Reprocessing is performed only by Innovative Health.
