Intended Use

The catheter is intended for intracardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart of adult and pediatric patients. The catheter is intended for imaging guidance only, not treatment delivery, during cardiac interventional percutaneous procedures.

Device Description

The ACUSON AcuNav Volume Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) Catheter is a 12.5F catheter with 90 cm of usable length and four-way steering that provides real-time threedimensional ultrasound images of anatomical structures and devices, in addition to conventional real-time two-dimensional images.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. for their ACUSON AcuNav Volume Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) Catheter. The FDA has reviewed the submission and determined that the device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device (K203726, also an ACUSON AcuNav Volume Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter).

However, the provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria related to an AI/ML algorithm.

Instead, this submission is for a medical device (an ultrasound catheter) that:

  • Provides real-time three-dimensional ultrasound images.
  • Is intended for intracardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, as well as other devices in the heart, for adult and pediatric patients.
  • Is intended for imaging guidance only, not treatment delivery, during cardiac interventional percutaneous procedures.

The 510(k) summary explicitly states: "Because the ACUSON AcuNav Volume Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) catheter in this submission uses the same technology, patient contact materials and principles as the predicate device, clinical data is not required to establish substantial equivalence."

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, as the document states such a study was not required or provided for this specific 510(k) submission. The FDA clearance is based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, and compliance with general medical device safety and quality standards (e.g., UL, IEC, ISO standards for safety, EMC, biocompatibility, sterilization, and packaging).

In summary, there is no discussion of an AI/ML component, clinical performance study, or specific acceptance criteria for performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC, etc.) in the provided text.

Dear Hyunjung Lee:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

{1}------------------------------------------------

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF NONCLINICAL TESTS SUBMITTED, REFERENCED, OR RELIED ON IN THE 510(K) FOR A DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE.

The device has been evaluated and has been found to conform with applicable medical device safety standards. The device complies with the following voluntary standards:

  • UL 60601-1, Safety Requirements for Medical Equipment
  • = IEC 60601-2-37 Diagnostic Ultrasound Safety Standards
  • AIUM/NEMA UD-3, Standard for Real Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment
  • = AIUM/NEMA UD-2. Acoustic Output Measurement Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound
  • Safety and EMC Requirements for Medical Equipment .
    • o EN/IEC 60601-1
    • EN/IEC 60601-1-2 o
  • ISO 10993-1 Biocompatibility
  • ISO 11135, Sterilization of health-care products Ethylene oxide
  • ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2, Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices

A SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF THE CLINICAL TESTS SUBMITTED, REFERENCED, OR RELIED ON FOR A DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE.

Because the ACUSON AcuNav Volume Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) catheter in this submission uses the same technology, patient contact materials and principles as the predicate device, clinical data is not required to establish substantial equivalence.

SUMMARY

Intended use and other key features are consistent with traditional clinical practice and FDA guidelines. The design and development process of the manufacturer conforms with 21 CFR 820 Quality System Regulation and ISO 13485:2016 quality system standards. The product is designed to conform to applicable medical device safety standards and compliance is verified through independent evaluation with ongoing factory surveillance. Diagnostic ultrasound has accumulated a long history of safe and effective performance. Therefore it is opinion of Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. that ACUSON AcuNav Volume Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) Catheter is substantially equivalent with the respect to safety and effectiveness to the device currently cleared for market.
