Dear Wanda Carpinella:
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 (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-reporting-combination-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"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reporting-mdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The XC11 ICE Box Ultrasound System is intended for intra-cardiac and intra-luminal ultrasound imaging when operated with the XC11 ICE Catheter and XC11 ICE System Handle.
The XC11 ICE Catheter is intended for intra-cardiac 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.
The XC11 ICE Catheter is for use with YorLabs XC11 ICE System Handle only.
VI. COMPARISION OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISICS WITH PREDICATES
Intended Use
The subject device and predicate are ultrasound system intended for intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) using a catheter-based ultrasound probe. The XC11 ICE System is designed primarily for interventional cardiology procedures that utilize catheter-based ICE imaging. It is not intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging. As such, reference to diagnostic ultrasound procedures have been removed from the indications for use for the subject device.
Technological Features
The XC11 ICE Box Ultrasound System shares similar technological features to the ACUSON P500 Ultrasound System, and the XC11 ICE Catheter is technologically consistent to the AcuNav Ultrasound Catheter 8F and 10F used for intracardiac echocardiography.
The design of the XC11 ICE Box Ultrasound System is simplified compared to the ACUSON P500 Ultrasound System with only the features necessary for interventional catheterization procedures that use ICE imaging for guidance only. The XC11 ICE Box Ultrasound System, like the ACUSON P500 Ultrasound System, support wireless-enabled connectivity to its components.
The XC11 ICE Catheter, like the AcuNav Ultrasound Catheter 8F and 10F, incorporates a 64-element phased array transducer embedded at catheter's distal tip for 2D imaging, and it has steering mechanism controls through four-way articulation to manipulate the imaging orientation to facilitate intracardiac imaging.
VII. Summary of Non-Clinical Tests
The device has been evaluated for acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning and disinfection effectiveness as well as thermal, electrical, electromagnetic and mechanical safety, and has been found to conform with applicable medical device safety standards. The XC11 ICE System complies with FDA-recognized standards:
- IEC 60601-1, Medical Electrical Equipment – Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, 2005/A2:2021
