No
The document explicitly states that the system "does not analyze physiological data or other data acquired during an EP procedure" and "does not have arrhythmia detection capabilities," which are common applications of AI/ML in this domain. The described functions are limited to data acquisition, display, storage, basic measurements, and reporting.
No.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device's purpose is to "acquire, filter, digitize, amplify, display, and record electrical signals" and "does not control the delivery of energy, administer drugs, perform any life-supporting or life-sustaining functions, or analyze physiological data". This indicates it is a data acquisition and display system, not a device that provides therapy.
Yes
The device's intended use is to "acquire, filter, digitize, amplify, display, and record electrical signals obtained during electrophysiological studies and related procedures." It also "allows the user to monitor the acquisition of data, review the data, store the data, perform elementary caliper-type measurements of the data, and generate reports on the data." This process of acquiring and interpreting physiological data for medical assessment falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes an amplifier connected to the patient, a computer, video monitors, and a printer/recorder, indicating significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided text, the Prucka Engineering, Inc. CardioLab EP 4.2 System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- CardioLab EP System Function: The description clearly states that the CardioLab EP System acquires, filters, digitizes, amplifies, displays, and records electrical signals obtained during electrophysiological studies. These signals are direct physiological measurements from the patient (ECG, direct cardiac signals, pressure recordings), not analyses of specimens taken from the body.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device description focuses on signal processing, display, storage, and basic measurements of these signals. It explicitly states it does not "analyze physiological data or other data acquired during an EP procedure" in a way that would be characteristic of an IVD.
Therefore, the CardioLab EP System is a medical device used for physiological monitoring and data acquisition during electrophysiological procedures, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use of the Prucka Engineering, Inc. CardioLab EP 4.2 System is to acquire, filter, digitize, amplify, display, and record electrical signals obtained during electrophysiological studies and related procedures conducted in an electrophysiological laboratory. Signal types acquired include ECG signals, direct cardiac signals, and pressure recordings. Physiological parameters such as diastolic, and mean blood pressure, heart rate, and cycle length may be derived from the signal data, displayed and recorded. The system allows the user to monitor the acquisition of data, review the data, store the data, perform elementary caliper-type measurements of the data, and generate reports on the data. Additionally, the system may acquire, amplify, display, and record data received from other medical devices typically used during these procedures, such as imaging devices and RF generators.

Device Description
The CardioLab EP System is a microprocessor based data acquisition system used during electrophysiology procedures to accquire ECG, intracardiac, pressure, and digital data from other devices such as RF generators and fluoro video systems. The ECG, intracardiac and pressure data are acquired by an amplifier that is connected to the patient by third-party devices such as ECG leadwires and catheters. The amplifier filters, amplifies, digitizes and transmits the data to the computer. The computer stores the data on optical disks, displays the data on the video monitors, allows the user to perform basic signal measurements, and prints out waveforms on a laser printer or continuous paper recorder. The software has three major functions: data acquisition and display, data storage, and reporting of data. The system is able to acquire signal data in the presence of pacing pulses. In addition to signal waveform display and basic caliper-type measurement, the system allows the user to create isopotential and isochronal activation maps of waveform timing information. The system can also be used to accept video input from a fluoroscopy system for either single frame capture or full motion video display. The system can also acquire data from an RF generator via standard computer RS-232 serial port. The CardioLab EP system does not control the delivery of energy, administer drugs, perform any life-supporting or life-sustaining functions, or analyze physiological data or other data acquired during an EP procedure. It does not transmit alarms or arrhythmias, and does not have arrhythmia detection capabilities.

The EP Medsystems EP System has the same properties, except it controls the function of the external stimulator. Third party stimulator input capability data not available for the Biosense Carto System. |
15 | The CardioLab EP System, the Quinton EP System and the EP Medsystems EP System have the ability to record from intracardiac signal at the same time a third party cardiac stimulator is pacing to the intracardiac signal. Biosense Carto System data not available with respect to this feature. |
