Intended Use
The EnSite™ X EP System is a suggested diagnostic tool in patients for whom electrophysiology studies have been indicated. The EnSite™ X EP System provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and displays catheter location during conventional electrophysiological (EP) procedures. EnSite™ X EP System Contact Force Software License: When used with the TactiSys™ Quartz Equipment, the EnSite™ X EP System Contact Force Module is intended to provide visualization of force information from compatible catheters. EnSite™ X EP System Surface Electrode Kit: The EnSite™ X EP Surface Electrode Kit is indicated for use with the EnSite™ X EP System in accordance with the EnSite™ X EP System indications for use.
Device Description
The EnSite™ X EP System is a catheter navigation and mapping system. A catheter navigation and mapping system is capable of displaying the 3-dimensional (3-D) position of conventional and Sensor Enabled™ (SE) electrophysiology catheters, as well as displaying cardiac electrical activity as waveform traces and as three-dimensional (3D) isopotential and isochronal maps of the cardiac chamber. The contoured surfaces of the 3D maps are based on the anatomy of the patient's own cardiac chamber. The system creates a model by collecting and labeling the anatomic locations within the chamber. A surface is created by moving a selected catheter to locations within a cardiac structure. As the catheter moves, points are collected at and between all electrodes on the catheter. A surface is wrapped around the outermost points.

No
The description focuses on traditional catheter navigation and mapping techniques, creating 3D models based on collected anatomical points. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, interpretation, or decision support.

No.
The device is described as a diagnostic tool that provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and displays catheter location during electrophysiological procedures. It is not intended to treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The EnSite™ X EP System is a suggested diagnostic tool in patients for whom electrophysiology studies have been indicated."

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like catheters, electrodes, and equipment (TactiSys™ Quartz Equipment), indicating it is a system with both hardware and software, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the EnSite™ X EP System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • EnSite™ X EP System's Function: The EnSite™ X EP System is described as a "catheter navigation and mapping system." Its primary function is to display the 3-dimensional position of catheters within the heart and visualize the electrical activity of the heart in vivo (within the living body). It uses catheters inserted into the patient's heart to collect data directly from the cardiac chamber.
  • Lack of Specimen Examination: The system does not process or analyze specimens (like blood or tissue) taken from the body. It interacts directly with the electrical activity and anatomy within the body.

Therefore, the EnSite™ X EP System falls under the category of a medical device used for in vivo diagnostic and procedural guidance, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Jamie Glaser:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
