No.
The document explicitly states that it does not mention "AI, DNN, or ML", and the description of the device's algorithms points to proprietary, rule-based processing rather than adaptive learning.
No
The device is used to assist in the diagnosis of complex cardiac arrhythmias by analyzing and displaying electrogram signals. It does not provide treatment or therapy.
Yes
The device is described as assisting in the diagnosis of complex cardiac arrhythmias, and its intended use is to assist in the diagnosis of complex cardiac arrhythmias.
No
The device description explicitly states that the OptiMap System "consists of several hardware elements including an Amplifier, Cart, Monitor, and Workstation." It also mentions that "Signals from a 64-electrode mapping basket catheter are transmitted to the Workstation by the Amplifier, processed by the mapping software, and the results are displayed on the Monitor." This clearly indicates it is a system with essential hardware components, not solely software.
No.
The device analyzes electrogram signals which are a direct measurement from the patient's heart and not an in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body.

Device Description
The OptiMap™ System is an electrophysiology mapping system for assisting in the diagnosis of complex cardiac arrhythmias. The system consists of several hardware elements including an Amplifier, Cart, Monitor, and Workstation that contains proprietary mapping software. Signals from a 64-electrode mapping basket catheter are transmitted to the Workstation by the Amplifier, processed by the mapping software, and the results are displayed on the Monitor.
The OptiMap System utilizes proprietary algorithms to process intra-cardiac electrogram (EGM) signals from a 64-electrode unipolar mapping basket catheter. The software transforms the time domain waveform information from the electrodes into space domain information which calculates the Electrographic Flow™ (EGF™) vectors for Atrial Fibrillation. The system also has algorithms that display action potential wavefront propagation or Activation Cycle Path (ACP). The ACP maps are a reconstruction of the activation wavefront propagation and may be used to visualize organized atrial arrhythmias.
The software output includes static and dynamic EGF maps that graphically depict the temporal activity and location of sources of EGF with respect to the catheter electrodes. The software displays active sources of flow and passive flow phenomena, detects spatial and temporal stability of sources of flow and detects the prevalence of sources of flow. In addition, the software output includes ACP maps displaying isochrones and a wavefront animation for each cycle.

Trade/Device Name: OptiMap™ System
Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1425
Regulation Name: Programmable Diagnostic Computer
Regulatory Class: Class II
Product Code: DQK
Dated: April 29, 2025
Received: April 30, 2025
Dear Derek Charchuk:
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.
