More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical pacing catheter and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

Yes
The device is indicated for temporary transvenous cardiac pacing when impulse formation or conduction is impaired, which directly addresses a physiological impairment and restores normal function, classifying it as therapeutic.

No

The device is a pacing catheter, indicated for actively addressing impaired impulse formation or conduction, not for identifying a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states "Bipolar Temporary Pacing Catheter with Stylet," indicating a physical hardware device. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "temporary transvenous cardiac pacing when impulse formation or conduction is impaired." This describes a direct intervention on the patient's body to regulate heart rhythm.
  • Device Description: The device is a "Bipolar Temporary Pacing Catheter with Stylet." This is a physical device inserted into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or interaction with bodily specimens for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, the device described is a therapeutic medical device used for cardiac pacing, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 870.3680 Cardiovascular permanent or temporary pacemaker electrode.

(a)
Temporary pacemaker electrode —(1)Identification. A temporary pacemaker electrode is a device consisting of flexible insulated electrical conductors with one end connected to anexternal pacemaker pulse generator and the other end applied to the heart. The device is used to transmit a pacing electrical stimulus from the pulse generator to the heart and/or to transmit the electrical signal of the heart to the pulse generator.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Permanent pacemaker electrode —(1)Identification. A permanent pacemaker electrode is a device consisting of flexible insulated electrical conductors with one end connected to an implantable pacemaker pulse generator and the other end applied to the heart. The device is used to transmit a pacing electrical stimulus from the pulse generator to the heart and/or to transmit the electrical signal of the heart to the pulse generator.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before October 4, 2012, for any permanent pacemaker electrode device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before October 4, 2012, been found to be substantially equivalent to any permanent pacemaker electrode device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other pacemaker repair or replacement material device shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Re: K963073 Harmac Temporary Pacing Catheter with Stylet Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 74 LDF Dated: July 31, 1997 Received: August 7, 1997

Dear Mr. Guzzo:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 8.0) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMF regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
