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.
More Information

No
The document describes a catheter navigation and mapping system that creates 3D models based on collected anatomical points. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or testing summaries. The system appears to rely on traditional geometric modeling and data visualization techniques.

No.
The "Intended Use" section clearly states that the EnSite™ X EP System is a "suggested diagnostic tool" and "provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and displays catheter location during conventional electrophysiological (EP) procedures." It is used for diagnosis and information display, not for direct therapeutic treatment.

Yes

Explanation: 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." It also mentions that it "provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and displays catheter location during conventional electrophysiological (EP) procedures," which are diagnostic activities.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "catheter navigation and mapping system" and describes the use of catheters to collect data and create 3D maps, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software. The testing section also mentions electrical safety testing, further suggesting hardware is part of the system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "suggested diagnostic tool in patients for whom electrophysiology studies have been indicated." It provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and displays catheter location during conventional electrophysiological procedures. This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic process, not an in vitro (outside the living body) diagnostic process.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter navigation and mapping system that displays the 3D position of catheters and cardiac electrical activity as waveform traces and 3D maps. This is all related to real-time monitoring and mapping within the patient's heart.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body, which is a defining characteristic of IVD devices.

Therefore, the EnSite™ X EP System is an in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic support system, not an IVD.
