Intended Use
The intended use of the Diagnostic Deflectable Tip Catheter is to map cardiac structures using stimulation and recording techniques. The Cordis Webster Diagnostic Deflectable Tip Catheter is indicated for electrophysiology mapping of cardiac structures in adults and children 4 years of age and older; i.e. stimulation and recording only.
Device Description
The Diagnostic Deflectable Tip Catheter (5 French size) modification is applicable only to the Instructions for Use. The function, component materials, and intended use of the Diagnostic Deflectable Tip Catheter as compared to the Predicate Device (of the same name - K892265) are identical. An additional indication for use and warning are added that allows the use of the catheter to not only be used in adults but in children 4 years of age and older. The additional warning is to alert the physician regarding the possibility of brachial plexus injury. These additions to the IFU were requested by FDA on behalf of P950005/S3, the pediatric indication approval for Cordis Webster's Diagnostic/Ablation Deflectable Tip Catheters, 6 and 7 French. They also apply to the 5 French diagnostic catheter. The safety or effectiveness of the subject device was not affected as the device itself has not been altered. The Diagnostic Deflectable Tip Catheter (5 French size) is essentially a smaller diameter version of the Premarket Notified 6. 7 French design. These catheters were designed to facilitate electrophysiological mapping of the heart. The catheter has a high-torque shaft with a deflectable tip section containing platinum electrodes that can be used for stimulation and recording. The 5 French Deflectable Catheter utilized the same design features that are in the present deflectable catheter with the exception of the tip electrode connection/termination method. The electrical connection is made in the same way as is done with the Predicate Device, however, the puller-wire which is normally anchored proximal to the tip is terminated (soldered) directly to the tip electrode. Since the puller-wire is attached to the tip electrode, the puller-wire replaces the safety wires that were in the 6 and 7 French Deflectable Catheters. This tip electrode connection/termination method is also utilized for the Crista Cath™ diagnostic catheter approved under K953768.

No
The summary describes a physical catheter used for electrophysiology mapping and does not mention any software or algorithms that would incorporate AI/ML. The changes described relate to the physical design, materials, and intended use population.

No.
The device is used for electrophysiology mapping (stimulation and recording) to diagnose cardiac structures, not to treat them.

Yes

The Intended Use/Indications for Use section explicitly states, "The intended use of the Diagnostic Deflectable Tip Catheter is to map cardiac structures using stimulation and recording techniques," and further mentions "electrophysiology mapping of cardiac structures." The device is also named "Diagnostic Deflectable Tip Catheter," and its predicate device and one of its reference devices also contain "Diagnostic" in their names.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with electrodes and a deflectable tip, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Diagnostic Deflectable Tip Catheter is used inside the body to map cardiac structures using electrical stimulation and recording. It is a medical device used for a procedure performed directly on the patient.

Therefore, based on its intended use and how it functions, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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

Performance data was provided as the number of complaints versus the number of units sold. Further related published literature was cited to show the safety and effectiveness of the smaller french size catheter used in pediatric patients.

A process capability study is referenced which is applicable to all puller wires that are attached directly into the stem of the tip electrode for deflectable catheters. The pull tests that were conducted resulted in high capability indices. Based on these results, the process for soldering puller wires to the tip electrode was found to be more than capable.
