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 AcuNav Crystal Ultrasound catheter is disposable and licensed for single use only. The catheter is optimized for intracardiac scanning. With the catheter, the physician can maneuver the imaging plane located inside the catheter tip to see the region of interest. The physician can steer the catheter to optimize tissue visualization. The catheter is to be used only on systems with which they have been tested and found compatible.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard ultrasound catheter for visualization and guidance, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing beyond basic visualization. The substantial equivalence argument is based on the predicate device's technology, which is also a standard ultrasound catheter.

No
The device is explicitly stated to be "for imaging guidance only, not treatment delivery," indicating it is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as an "Imaging guidance" device for "intracardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology." Visualization of anatomy and physiology is a diagnostic function, even if it's for guiding procedures. The predicate device's name "AcuNav Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter" further supports this.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "catheter," which is a physical hardware component. The 510(k) summary focuses on the hardware aspects of the 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 to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a catheter intended for intracardiac and intra-luminal visualization using ultrasound. It is used for imaging guidance during a procedure, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for visualization of anatomy and physiology within the heart and great vessels, and for imaging guidance during procedures. This is a direct imaging and procedural guidance tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the AcuNav Crystal Ultrasound catheter falls under the category of a medical device used for imaging and procedural guidance, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Bongsoo Cho:

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 (the 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 available 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.

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 for acoustic output, biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging, shelf life as well as thermal, electrical, electromagnetic and mechanical safety and has been found to conform with applicable medical device safety standards. The device complies with the following voluntary standards:

  • ISO 14971 risk management to medical devices
  • ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1 Safety Requirements for Medical Equipment
  • IEC 60601-1-2 EMC requirements for Medical Equipment
  • = IEC 60601-2-37 Diagnostic Ultrasound Safety Standards
  • · 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 AcuNav Crystal Ultrasound catheter in this submission uses the same intended use, technology 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

7

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 AcuNav Crystal Ultrasound catheter is substantially equivalent with the respect to safety and effectiveness to the device currently cleared for market.
