The summary describes a mechanical access tool and its performance studies, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as facilitating "diagnostic and therapeutic interventions" for ventricular tachycardia, indicating its role in enabling therapeutic procedures.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended to "deliver diagnostic and therapeutic interventions". Although its primary role described in the "Device Description" is access, it enables diagnostic procedures by allowing access for diagnostic interventions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, sterile, single-use access tool with mechanical components (needle, channel, radiopaque tip) used for a surgical procedure. It requires fluoroscopy for guidance, indicating a hardware dependency beyond software.
Based on the provided information, the ViaOne Epicardial Access System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "access the epicardial surface of the heart via a subxiphoid approach to deliver diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for ventricular tachycardia." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body (in vivo), not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (in vitro).
- Device Description: The device is described as an "access tool" consisting of a needle and channel to facilitate guidewire access into the pericardium. This is a surgical/interventional tool, not a device used to analyze biological samples.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used on the "epicardial surface of the heart," which is within the patient's body.
- Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopy is used to guide the procedure, which is an imaging technique used on the patient.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The ViaOne Epicardial Access System is a tool used to perform a medical procedure directly on the patient.

All tests were successfully completed and passed, and the device met the defined acceptance criteria.
- Animal Study evaluated the ViaOne Epicardial Access System safety and performance. The devices performed as intended without malfunction. The Histopathology evaluation and pathological examination indicated that there were no clinically significant events following use of the ViaOne Epicardial Access System.
- Clinical Information: CardioVia provided information on clinical experience from its multi-central clinical trial which included VT subjects. The primary endpoint of the clinical study focused on the occurrence and resolution of adverse events associated with the ViaOne device. The secondary endpoint of the clinical study evaluated the success rate of pericardial space access. The observed adverse events were consistent with those expected in similar epicardial procedures and were resolved without additional intervention. The collected clinical data demonstrated a safety profile consistent with established standards and demonstrates that the ViaOne Epicardial Access System supports its intended use in the indicated population.

Dear Orly Maor:
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" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 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 (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule").
