## Indications for Use

The Schwarzer cardis heart catheter measuring systems with hemodynamical evaluation software are indicated for the registration, display, real-time recording, printout and storage of biophysiological data. Hemodynamic signals as intracardiac pressure and ECG signals are recorded and displayed and a number of hemodynamic calculations are performed based on the measured values of the input signals. The Schwarzer cardis systems are intended for use in catheterization labs. The Schwarzer cardis systems are indicated for use with patients of all ages under direct supervision of a physician or other trained health care professionals.

## Device Story

Cardis system records, displays, and stores biophysiological data, specifically intracardiac pressure and ECG signals, in catheterization labs. Operated by physicians or trained healthcare professionals. System performs hemodynamic calculations based on input signals; provides real-time recording and printout capabilities. Output assists clinicians in hemodynamic evaluation and patient monitoring during catheterization procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological and functional comparison to predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Programmable diagnostic computer for cardiovascular applications. System performs signal acquisition, processing, and hemodynamic calculations. Intended for catheterization lab environment. Software-based evaluation of intracardiac pressure and ECG signals.

## Regulatory Identification

A programmable diagnostic computer is a device that can be programmed to compute various physiologic or blood flow parameters based on the output from one or more electrodes, transducers, or measuring devices; this device includes any associated commercially supplied programs.

## Predicate Devices

- CATHCOR Desktop (K0021137)

Trade Name: Cardis Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1425 Regulation Name: Programmable Diagnostic Computer Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: DOK Dated: August 19, 2002 Received: September 10, 2002

Dear Mr. Job:

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 (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. 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

Page 2 - Mr. Mark Job

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
