Intended Use
The intended use of the CARTO® 3 System is catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological (EP) procedures. The CARTO® 3 System provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and about catheter location during the procedure. The system can be used on patients who are eligible for a conventional electrophysiological procedure. The system has no special contraindications.
Device Description
The CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System with SPU is a catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping system designed to acquire and analyze data points and use this information to display 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the human heart. The location information needed to create the cardiac maps and the local electrograms are acquired using a specialized mapping catheters and reference devices. The system allows electrograms and cardiac maps display based on the received intracardiac signals from the catheters. The CARTO® 3 System uses two distinct types of location technology – magnetic sensor technology and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology. The CARTO® 3 System with SPU consists of the following components: Patient Interface Unit (PIU) Graphic User Interface (GUI) Wide-Screen monitors, keyboard, and mouse Intracardiac In Port Intracardiac Out Port Power Supply Patches Connection Box and Cables Pedals Location Pad SPU

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or training/test sets for algorithms. The technology described is focused on magnetic and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology for 3D mapping.

No.
The device is used to acquire and analyze data points to display 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the heart, providing information for electrophysiological procedures. It is a diagnostic tool rather than a therapeutic one that treats or cures a condition.

Yes
The device provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and catheter location, and performs "mapping" of the heart, all of which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a Patient Interface Unit (PIU), Graphic User Interface (GUI) Wide-Screen monitors, keyboard, mouse, various ports, power supply, patches connection box and cables, pedals, location pad, and an SPU. The performance studies also include bench testing related to electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and hardware configurations.

Based on the provided information, the CARTO® 3 System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological (EP) procedures." This describes a procedure performed on the patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The device acquires and analyzes data points and displays 3D maps of the heart based on signals received from catheters inside the patient. This is in vivo (within a living organism) measurement, not in vitro (in glass or outside a living organism) testing of a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue), using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of such samples.

Therefore, the CARTO® 3 System is a medical device used for navigation and mapping during cardiac procedures performed directly on the patient, not an IVD device.
