The summary describes a cardiac mapping system using established localization and electrophysiological data processing techniques. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
No.
The device is described as a diagnostic medical device for 3D cardiac mapping and catheter navigation, allowing visualization and display of cardiac electrophysiological data; it does not cure or treat a condition.
Yes
The "Device Description" explicitly states, "The RHYTHMIA HDx™ Mapping System is a diagnostic medical device designed for 3D cardiac mapping, catheter navigation and display of cardiac electrophysiological data collected during an Electrophysiology (EP) study."
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes "reusable capital equipment" and a "dedicated Signal Station (SiS) and related accessories," which are hardware components. The performance studies also include "Design Verification testing confirmed that the subject device hardware continues to meet the performance specifications."
Based on the provided text, the RHYTHMIA HDx™ Mapping System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping" and "real-time visualization of intracardiac catheters as well as display of cardiac maps." This describes a system used in vivo (within the body) to gather electrical and anatomical information directly from the heart.
- Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's a "diagnostic medical device designed for 3D cardiac mapping, catheter navigation and display of cardiac electrophysiological data collected during an Electrophysiology (EP) study." EP studies are performed on living patients.
- IVD Definition: An In Vitro Diagnostic device is defined as a medical device intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue donations, derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring or compatibility purposes. The RHYTHMIA HDx™ system does not examine specimens in vitro. It directly interacts with the patient's heart in vivo.
Therefore, the RHYTHMIA HDx™ Mapping System is a diagnostic medical device used in vivo, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The RHYTHMIA HDx™ Mapping System is a diagnostic medical device designed for 3D cardiac mapping, catheter navigation and display of cardiac electrophysiological data collected during an Electrophysiology (EP) study. Based on user-defined criteria, the Mapping System can acquire data over multiple cardiac beats.
The maps are constructed using magnetic and impedance-based localization technology and data from intracardiac and surface electrograms. Maps may be displayed as anatomical maps and electroanatomical maps in different formats. When used in conjunction with a magnetically tracked mapping catheter, the Mapping System can acquire data leading to high resolution map creation. The Mapping System allows real-time and recorded visualization of intracardiac catheter location(s). The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms, may also be recorded and displayed on the system's display screen.
The Mapping System consists of reusable capital equipment, intended to be used in an electrophysiology laboratory by licensed medical practitioners fully trained in cardiac electrophysiology and Boston Scientific Mapping Specialists.
The Mapping System includes a dedicated Signal Station (SiS) and related accessories which provide data connection pathways for external input/output devices (e.g., catheters and recording systems) and serve as the data conduit to the System's Workstation computer and software.

The Mapping System includes a dedicated Signal Station (SiS) and related accessories which provide data connection pathways for external input/output devices (e.g., catheters and recording systems) and serve as the data conduit to the System's Workstation computer and software.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The RHYTHMIA HDx™ Mapping System and accessories are indicated for catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping. The mapping system allows real-time visualization of intracardiac catheters as well as display of cardiac maps in a number of different formats. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms, may also be recorded and displayed on the system's display screen.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Substantial equivalence of the RHYTHMIA HDx Mapping System with Software v6.0 was established based on the comparison of the subject and predicate devices intended use, design features and performance testing.
The subject device has the same intended use, the same principle of operation, the same indications for use, includes the same system components (hardware), and general feature functionality as the predicates.
The RHYTHMIA HDx Mapping System with Software v6.0 includes the following enhancements:
- General compatibility with the Magnetically Tracked FARAWAVE NAV PFA Catheter, using . the same technological characteristics as the existing compatibility with the INTELLAMAP ORION catheter.
- Improved compatibility with the Magnetically Tracked FARAPOINT PFA Catheter using the . same technological characteristics as the existing compatibility with linear ablation catheters.
- Sheath detection visualization within the heart chamber, enhancement using the same technoloqy and principle as that used for the catheter localization.
- . Import of CT or MRI cardiac images via a network connection from a PACS Server (also referred to as DICOM Server). The subject device allows segmentation of the imported images to improve efficiency of PACS import workflow. These images are used for visual reference only.
- . Field Tag™ is similar to the existing AutoTaq included in the primary predicate device. Field Tags are the tagging visualization when using the FARAWAVE NAV PFA catheter prior to and after ablation.
- . Catheter shadows allow the user to visualize the location of the last ablation and decide the next workflow step.
- Ablation statistics is the presentation of some information already collected by subject and . primary predicate.
There were non-significant changes to the hardware unrelated to the software update. These changes do not raise questions of safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

Performance Data
Testing was conducted to verify functional performance and substantial equivalence. Successful testing results provide objective evidence that the proposed changes do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
The testing consisted of:
- . Software/Firmware and Cybersecurity Verification and Validation testing confirmed that the subject device meets the design input requirements and specifications.
- . Design Verification testing confirmed that the subject device hardware continues to meet the performance specifications.
- . EMC and Electrical Safety testing demonstrated conformity with the electrical safety and EMC performance requirements and specifications, according to the methods and criteria of the recognized consensus standards 60601-1 and 60601-1-2 and BSC design input requirements and specifications.
- . Usability validation testing demonstrated that the subject device meets the user needs specifications.
- . Design validation testing demonstrated that all test articles evaluated in the study performed as intended for their intended use specifications and were found to be Clinically Acceptable by the appropriate end users.
Conclusion
The RHYTHMIA HDx Mapping System with Software v6.0 is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed devices. This conclusion is reached as the subject and predicate devices have the same intended use and the successful testing results demonstrate that the minor differences in the technological characteristics do not raise questions of safety and effectiveness.
