The device description focuses on physical components and materials. The performance studies describe traditional biocompatibility, bench, and clinical data analysis, none of which indicate the presence of an AI model for device operation or data analysis. Notably, the sections "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol" are explicitly marked "Not Found," further supporting the absence of an AI model.
Yes
The intended use of the device is for temporary, transvenous, right ventricular pacing, which is a therapeutic intervention to regulate heart rhythm.
No
The device is a temporary, transvenous, right ventricular pacing catheter, used for therapeutic pacing rather than diagnosing a condition.
No
The device is a physical catheter, described with materials, dimensions, and mechanical components (e.g., electrodes, balloon). It undergoes physical testing (bench, biocompatibility) and is supplied sterile for single use, clearly indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
No
The device is a pacing catheter used for temporary, transvenous right ventricular pacing, which is an in vivo procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description
Bioptimal's Bipolar Pacing Catheter is made of radiopaque polyurethane catheter tubing at a usable length of 110 cm that allows the use of fluoroscopy for guiding the catheter during insertion or to verify its position when necessary. The catheter has radiopaque bands marked every 10 cm along their length to assist the physician in determining the depth of catheter insertion.
The Bipolar Pacing Catheter has an electrode lumen, which provides electrical conductor isolation from electrodes to the connector pins. It has two metal electrodes attached to the distal end of the catheter and the distal electrode forms its distal tip. The proximal electrode is 10 mm apart from the distal electrode.
Bipolar Pacing Catheters are available in two generic models: balloon-guided floatation (with balloon) and semi-floated (without balloon), with or without contamination shield. All models have the same basic design, construction and material. The balloon-guided models(BP2502-10 and BP2502CS-10) includes a latex balloon mounted between the distal and proximal electrodes and associated balloon lumen and tubing extension for inflating and deflating the balloon. The balloon is used for the advancement of the catheter tip by means of balloon flotation in the blood flow. The models with a contamination shield (BP2502CS-10 and BPX2502CS-10) have an expandable shield up to 110cm that provides a sterile environment for the enclosed catheter, and hence prevents the contamination of a catheter as it is inserted into and withdrawn from a body cavity or lumen.
Balloon guided models are supplied with a 1.0cc syringe for balloon inflation.
Bipolar Pacing Catheters are supplied sterile (through ethylene oxide sterilization), non-pyrogenic and are for single use only.
The catheter primary packaging: the catheter is packed in a blue thermoformed polystyrene tray and is covered with a clear APET cover held in place by snap buttons. White label printed with the product name, model ID, manufacturer and authorized representative's information, lot number, expiry date, UDI, symbols and other product information is pasted on the clear APET tray cover. The catheter tray is placed inside a sealed Tyvek bag which forms a single sterile barrier primary packaging.

Summary of Performance Studies
Subacute Toxicity test (as Subacute GLP Animal Study) was carried out.
Sample size: Not specified in terms of animals.
Results:
- Clinical Observations - There were no clinical observations that indicated systemic toxicity caused by the test or control samples.
- Body Weight - Individual weight gain and group mean body weights for both male and female animals were similar between the test and control groups and there were no statistically significant differences. Animals gained weight during the course of the study.
- Necropsy Observations - There were no macroscopic observations differences of the viscera that could be attributed to the test sample.
- Organ Weights - Individual organ weights and organ to body weight ratios for both male and female animals were similar between the test and control sample groups and there were no statistically significant differences.
- Clinical Pathology - The hematology and clinical chemistry values showed no evidence of systemic toxicity.
- Microscopic Evaluation - Microscopic findings in the saline group and oil group showed no evidence of a systemic toxicity related to the test sample response
Bench and performance testing of Bioptimal Bipolar Pacing Catheter were carried out at t=0 and equivalent t=2 years / t=3 years using accelerated ageing conditions using n=60 at 95/95 confidence/reliability intervals.

Dear Francis Joey Eduave:
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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Non-Clinical and Clinical Tests Summary and Conclusions:
Bioptimal Bipolar Pacing Catheter is categorized as externally communicating medical devices in contact with circulating blood no longer than 3 days (prolonged exposure). According to ISO 10993-1:2018 Annex A, Chronic Toxicity test (as Chronic GLP Animal Study) is not required as one of the biological endpoints. However, in-lieu of the Chronic Toxicity test, Subacute Toxicity test (as Subacute GLP Animal Study) was carried out.
Results of the Subacute GLP Animal Study are the following:
-
Clinical Observations - There were no clinical observations that indicated systemic toxicity caused by the test or control samples.
-
Body Weight - Individual weight gain and group mean body weights for both male and female animals were similar between the test and control groups and there were no statistically significant differences. Animals gained weight during the course of the study.

In all test frequency, it showed that Bioptimal Bipolar Pacing Catheter could meet the specifications and requirements.
A retrospective clinical data analysis was carried out for Bioptimal Bipolar Pacing Catheter using a single-center, single-arm, consecutive cases without omission at a hospital in China between March 2022 and December 2024. Results of this retrospective clinical data analysis are:
