No
The summary describes a standard diagnostic electrode catheter for sensing and recording cardiac signals, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on physical and electrical characteristics compared to predicate devices.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic electrode catheter for sensing, recording, stimulation, and temporary pacing during the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias, not for treating them.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the catheters are "intended for temporary intracardiac sensing, recording, stimulation and temporary pacing during the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias," which are diagnostic activities. Additionally, the device is described as a "fixed curve diagnostic electrode catheter."

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with electrodes, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "temporary intracardiac sensing, recording, stimulation and temporary pacing during the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias." This describes a device used within the body for direct physiological measurement and intervention, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description of a "closed lumen, nonsteerable device" with electrodes for intracardiac use further reinforces its function as an in-vivo device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

This device is an in-vivo diagnostic and therapeutic device used directly within the heart.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Viking catheter was tested for safety and performance based on the required characteristics of electrode recording catheters. Tests were chosen and developed based on the March, 1995 Draft Version of the "Electrode Recording Catheter Preliminary Guidance, Data to be Submitted to the Food and Drug Administration in Support of Premarket Notifications." Where appropriate, comparative testing was done using the Cordis Webster catheter and/or a Bard Woven electrode catheter. In addition, as previously mentioned, the Viking catheter was subjected to biocompatibility testing. The performance of the Viking catheter was found to meet all testing acceptance criteria and was therefore clinically acceptable. Where comparative testing was conducted, the Viking catheter performance was equivalent to, better than, or between the performances of the Cordis Webster and Bard Woven electrode catheters or the performance was determined to be clinically acceptable in every case. The Viking catheter passed all tests of biocompatibility.

§ 870.1220 Electrode recording catheter or electrode recording probe.

(a)
Identification. An electrode recording catheter or an electrode recording probe is a device used to detect an intracardiac electrocardiogram, or to detect cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunts. The device may be unipolar or multipolar for electrocardiogram detection, or may be a platinum-tipped catheter which senses the presence of a special indicator for cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunt determinations.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

  • Technological Characteristics/Performance Data Summary E.
    The "510(k) Substantial Equivalence Decision-Making Process (Detailed)" decision tree (CDRH 510(k) Manual 92-4158) was utilized in conjunction with the technological characteristics and performance testing results to make a determination of substantial equivalence as follows:

Does New Device Have Same Indication Statements? 1.

Yes. Although the indications for the Viking catheter are more detailed than those of the Cordis Webster catheter, the uses of these devices are the same; they are to be used during the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias for electrophysiological mapping of cardiac structures. The longer description in the indications for the Viking catheter identifies standard uses of diagnostic electrode catheters which are also contained in the indications for the currently sold preamendment Bard Woven electrode catheters and are referred to in the indications and instructions for use in the Bard® Steerable catheters (K921872; later referred to as the EP+XT™ catheters) and the Bard® Dynamic Tip and Tip Deflecting catheters (K891908, K904080, and K912213).

Does New Device Have Same Technological Characteristics, e.g., 2. Design, Materials, etc.?

No. Although the Viking catheter has similar technological characteristics and component materials, they are not identical.

Could the New Characteristics Affect Safety or Effectiveness? 3.

No. The only technological difference is in electrode width. However, since the distal and proximal electrode widths of the Viking catheter are within the range of those of the predicate devices, this is not an issue. Differences in materials are minor, such as the use of different colorants. Although these minor material differences are unlikely to affect safety, biocompatibility was verified through testing.

4. Are the Descriptive Characteristics Precise Enough to Ensure Equivalence?

No. Although the materials and technological characteristics are very similar, differences between vendors and manufacturing techniques necessitate bench testing to confirm equivalence.

2

Are Performance Data Available to Assess Equivalence? 5.

Yes. The Viking catheter was tested for safety and performance based on the required characteristics of electrode recording catheters. Tests were chosen and developed based on the March, 1995 Draft Version of the "Electrode Recording Catheter Preliminary Guidance, Data to be Submitted to the Food and Drug Administration in Support of Premarket Notifications." Where appropriate, comparative testing was done using the Cordis Webster catheter and/or a Bard Woven electrode catheter. In addition, as previously mentioned, the Viking catheter was subjected to biocompatibility testing.

Do Performance Data Demonstrate Equivalence? 6.

Yes. The performance of the Viking catheter was found to meet all testing acceptance criteria and was therefore clinically acceptable. Where comparative testing was conducted, the Viking catheter performance was equivalent to, better than, or between the performances of the Cordis Webster and Bard Woven electrode catheters or the performance was determined to be clinically acceptable in every case. The Viking catheter passed all tests of biocompatibility.

SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT DETERMINATION:

The Viking Catheter is substantially equivalent to currently sold electrode recording catheters.
