    Intended Use

    The intended use of the CARTO™ 3 System is catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological (EP) procedures. The CARTO™ 3 System provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and about catheter location during the procedure. The system can be used on patients who are eligible for a conventional electrophysiological procedure. The system has no special contraindications.

    Device Description

    The CARTO™ 3 EP Navigation System V8.0, is a catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping system designed to acquire and analyze navigation catheter's location and intracardiac ECG signals and use this information to display 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the human heart. The location information needed to create the cardiac maps and the local electrograms are acquired using specialized mapping catheters and reference devices. The CARTO™ 3 System uses two distinct types of location technology – magnetic sensor technology and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology.

    The CARTO™ 3 System V8.1 consists of the following hardware components:

    • Patient Interface Unit (PIU)
    • Workstation with Graphic User Interface (GUI)
    • Wide-Screen monitors, keyboard, and mouse
    • Intracardiac In Port
    • Intracardiac Out Port
    • Power Supply
    • Patches Connection Box and Cables (PU)
    • Pedals
    • Location Pad (LP)
    • Signal Processing Unit (SPU)

    All hardware components of the CARTO™ 3 system V8.1 are the same as those found in the predicate device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the CARTO™ 3 EP Navigation System V8.1 does not contain the detailed information necessary to fully answer all aspects of your request regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (CARTO™ 3 EP Navigation System V8.0) and outlines the V&V testing performed at a high level.

    Specifically, the document does not report specific quantitative acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics in a readily extractable table format. It states that "All tests were successfully completed and met the acceptance criteria" for various testing phases, but the acceptance criteria themselves are not provided. Similarly, actual performance metrics (e.g., accuracy values, false positive rates, etc.) are not listed.

    Regarding the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria," the document describes verification and validation testing, but this is not presented as a single, comprehensive "study" with a specific design (like an MRMC study or a standalone performance study) and reported results in the same way one might describe a clinical trial. Instead, it's a summary of different types of engineering and software testing.

    Given these limitations, I will extract and infer information where possible based on the provided text, and explicitly state when information is not available in the document.


    Overview of Device Acceptance and Performance (Based on Available Information)

    The acceptance of the CARTO™ 3 EP Navigation System V8.1 is broadly based on the successful completion of various verification and validation (V&V) tests, ensuring the device meets its design specifications and performs as intended, especially with new features and existing functionalities. The primary "proof" of acceptance is the statement that "All tests were successfully completed and met the acceptance criteria," even if those criteria are not quantitatively detailed.

    Since quantitative acceptance criteria and reported numerical performance are not explicitly provided, a table with specific metrics cannot be generated. The document focuses on conceptual and functional "acceptance."


    Detailed Breakdown of Available Information:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    Not explicitly provided in the document in a quantitative, tabular format.

    The document states:

    • "All tests were successfully completed and met the acceptance criteria" for "Proof of Design."
    • "All system features were found to perform according to specifications and met the tests acceptance criteria" for "Functional verification."
    • "All tests were successfully completed and met the acceptance criteria" for "Unit Tests."
    • "All testing performed were successfully completed and met the acceptance criteria" for "Retrospective Validation Tests."
    • "All test protocol steps were successfully completed and expected results were achieved" for "Animal Testing."

    While these statements confirm the device met its internal acceptance criteria, the specific numerical values of these criteria (e.g., "accuracy > X mm," "sensitivity > Y%") and the actual measured performance values are not disclosed in this 510(k) letter.

    Inferred Performance Claims:

    • The device maintains "identical magnetic location sensor and ACL location accuracy" as the predicate device (V8.0). However, the specific accuracy values are not stated for either version.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated.
      • For "Retrospective Validation Tests," it mentions "clinical recorded data from historic EP procedures." The number of procedures or specific data points is not provided.
      • For "Animal Testing," it indicates "animal testing was conducted," but the number of animals or specific test cases is not provided.
    • Data Provenance:
      • Country of Origin: Not explicitly stated. The company Biosense Webster has facilities in Irvine, CA, USA, and Yokneam, Israel. The data could originate from clinical sites globally.
      • Retrospective or Prospective:
        • "Retrospective Validation Tests" explicitly used "clinical recorded data from historic EP procedures." This indicates retrospective data.
        • "Animal Testing" would be considered prospective in the context of controlled experimental animal studies.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

    Not explicitly stated. The document does not describe the process of establishing ground truth for any of the V&V tests, nor the involvement or qualifications of experts for this purpose.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not explicitly stated. Given that expert involvement for ground truth is not detailed, an adjudication method is also not mentioned.

    5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and its effect size

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was NOT done or reported. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through technical V&V testing and software feature improvements, not on comparative effectiveness with human readers. The CARTO™ 3 System is a navigation system, not an AI for image interpretation that typically undergoes MRMC studies.

    6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Yes, aspects of standalone performance were evaluated, though not explicitly labeled as such.

    • "Proof of Design" and "Unit Tests" would inherently involve evaluating the device's (or its software components') performance against design specifications in a standalone manner, without direct human-in-the-loop interaction beyond setup and execution of the tests.
    • The statement "identical magnetic location sensor and ACL location accuracy" implies a standalone assessment of the system's core navigational accuracy.

    However, specific quantitative metrics for this standalone performance (e.g., location accuracy in mm, precision, etc.) are not provided.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    Not explicitly stated for specific tests.

    Inferred types of ground truth based on the nature of the device and tests:

    • Engineering Specifications/Reference Standards: For "Proof of Design," "Functional verification," and "Unit Tests," the ground truth would likely be defined by internal engineering design specifications, simulated environments, and established reference measurements. For accuracy testing of location, highly precise physical measurement systems or phantoms would be used as ground truth.
    • Retrospective Clinical Data: For "Retrospective Validation Tests," ground truth would presumably come from existing clinical records of "historic EP procedures," although how this ground truth was established within those records (e.g., confirmed diagnoses, procedural outcomes, expert review) is not detailed.
    • Direct Observation/Measurement in Animal Models: For "Animal Testing," ground truth would be based on direct measurements and observations within the animal during the simulated procedures.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable/Not mentioned. The CARTO™ 3 System is described as a navigation system with improved software features (e.g., catheter support, legacy feature enhancements). It is not presented as an AI/ML model that undergoes a distinct "training set" development phase in the typical sense of deep learning models requiring large datasets for training. The changes appear to be more in line with traditional software development and feature integration.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable/Not mentioned (as it's not described as an AI/ML system with a training set).


    Summary of Limitations of the Document for this Request:

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter serves its purpose of demonstrating substantial equivalence based on the provided V&V testing summary. However, it is not a detailed technical report or clinical study publication that would typically include the specific quantitative acceptance criteria, full performance metrics, detailed sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth methodologies you are requesting for a comprehensive analysis of a device's proven performance. The document implies successful adherence to internal specifications without detailing those specifications or the resultant performance values.

    Intended Use

    The EnSite X EP System is a suggested diagnostic tool in patients for whom electrophysiology studies have been indicated.

    The EnSite X EP System provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and displays catheter location during conventional electrophysiological procedures.

    Device Description

    The EnSite™ X EP System is a catheter navigation and mapping system. A catheter navigation and mapping system is capable of displaying the 3-dimensional (3-D) position of conventional and Sensor Enabled™ (SE) electrophysiology catheters, as well as displaying cardiac electrical activity as waveform traces and as three-dimensional (3D) isopotential and isochronal maps of the cardiac chamber.

    The contoured surfaces of the 3D maps are based on the anatomy of the patient's own cardiac chamber. The system creates a model by collecting and labeling the anatomic locations within the chamber. A surface is created by moving a selected catheter to locations within a cardiac structure. As the catheter moves, points are collected at and between all electrodes on the catheter. A surface is wrapped around the outermost points.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the EnSite™ X EP System (K251234) details the device's regulatory pathway and general testing conducted. However, it does not contain the specific information required to populate a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance. It focuses on the regulatory aspects, substantial equivalence to a predicate device, and the general types of testing performed (e.g., software verification, amplifier design verification, system design validation) to demonstrate that the device meets user requirements and its intended use.

    The document states: "Design verification activities were performed and met their respective acceptance criteria to ensure that the devices in scope of this submission are substantially equivalent to the predicate device." However, the specific acceptance criteria (e.g., a numerical threshold for accuracy or precision) and the reported device performance values against those criteria are not presented in this public clearance letter.

    Similarly, the letter does not provide details regarding:

    • Sample sizes used for test sets (beyond stating "design verification" and "system design validation" were performed).
    • Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
    • Number of experts, their qualifications, or adjudication methods for establishing ground truth for any test set.
    • Whether a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or any effect size for human readers.
    • Whether standalone (algorithm-only) performance was assessed.
    • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data).
    • The sample size for the training set.
    • How ground truth for the training set was established.

    This type of detailed performance data is typically found within the confidential 510(k) submission itself, not routinely published in the public clearance letter.

    Therefore,Based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the EnSite™ X EP System, the following information can be extracted regarding the device's acceptance criteria and the study that proves it meets those criteria:

    Key Takeaway: The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter asserts that acceptance criteria were met through various design verification and validation activities, demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not disclose the specific numerical acceptance criteria or the quantitative results of the device's performance against those criteria. The details below are based on what is stated or can be inferred from the document.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    As per the provided document, specific numerical acceptance criteria and reported device performance data are not explicitly stated or detailed. The document generally states:

    "Design verification activities were performed and met their respective acceptance criteria to ensure that the devices in scope of this submission are substantially equivalent to the predicate device."

    And

    "System Design Validation to confirm the system could meet user requirements and its intended use after modifications"

    Without specific numerical cut-offs or performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, error rates), a table cannot be populated as requested. The clearance indicates that internal testing demonstrated the device met pre-defined acceptance criteria, but those criteria and the actual performance results are not publicly available in this document.

    Acceptance Criteria Category (Presumed)Specific Acceptance Criteria (Not specified in document)Reported Device Performance (Not specified in document)Met? (Inferred from clearance)
    System Functionality(e.g., Catheter position display accuracy, Cardiac electrical activity waveform fidelity, 3D map creation accuracy)(Specific quantitative results, e.g., X mm accuracy)Yes (Implied by clearance)
    Safety & Effectiveness(e.g., Conformity to electromagnetic compatibility, software robustness, risk mitigation effectiveness)(e.g., Passes all EMC tests, no critical software bugs identified)Yes (Implied by clearance)
    User Requirements(e.g., System usability, interface responsiveness)(e.g., Demonstrates ability to meet intended use)Yes (Implied by clearance)

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    • Sample Size Used for Test Set: Not specified in the provided document. The document mentions "Design verification activities" and "System Design Validation" but does not give the number of cases, patients, or data points used for these tests.
    • Data Provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not specified in the provided document.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

    • Number of Experts: Not specified.
    • Qualifications of Experts: Not specified.
      • (It's common for electrophysiology systems that ground truth would be established by electrophysiologists, but this document does not confirm that.)

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • Adjudication Method: Not specified. (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none)

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    • MRMC Study: No indication that an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was performed or required for this 510(k) clearance. The focus of this submission is on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which often relies on non-clinical testing for software updates or minor changes, rather than clinical efficacy studies comparing human readers with and without AI assistance.
    • Effect Size of Human Readers Improvement with AI vs. Without AI Assistance: Not applicable/Not provided, as an MRMC study is not mentioned.

    6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

    • Standalone Performance: The document describes "Software Verification at unit, software and system level" and "Amplifier Design Verification," which are types of standalone-like algorithmic or component-level testing. However, the exact metrics and results for pure "algorithm-only" performance (e.g., for automated mapping or analysis features if present) are not detailed. The system is described as a "diagnostic tool" that "provides information" and "displays catheter location," implying human interaction is integral.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Type of Ground Truth: Not explicitly stated. Given the nature of an EP system, ground truth would likely involve a combination of:
      • Validated phantom models: For physical accuracy of catheter tracking and mapping.
      • Clinical expert consensus: For validating the interpretation of electrical activity and the accuracy of generated 3D maps or anatomical models.
      • Reference measurements: From other validated systems or direct measurements during testing.
      • The document implies ground truth was used for "Design verification" and "System Design Validation," which "confirm the system could meet user requirements."

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable/Not specified. This 510(k) is for a software update (v5.0) to an existing system (EnSite™ X EP System, predicate K242016). The document describes changes related to compatibility with new catheters and ultrasound systems, rather than the development of entirely new AI/ML algorithms requiring a "training set" in the conventional sense of deep learning. While software is involved, the primary testing discussed is verification and validation, not model training.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    • Ground Truth for Training Set Establishment: Not applicable/Not specified, as the document does not indicate the use of a "training set" in the context of machine learning model development. The 'ground truth' concept would apply more to the test and validation steps, as discussed in point 7.

    Device Description

    The HemoSphere Advanced Monitor was designed to simplify the customer experience by providing one platform with modular solutions for all hemodynamic monitoring needs. The user can choose from available optional sub-system modules or use multiple sub-system modules at the same time. This modular approach provides the customer with the choice of purchasing and/or using specific monitoring applications based on their needs. Users are not required to have all of the modules installed at the same time for the platform to function.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Edwards Lifesciences HemoSphere Advanced Monitor (HEM1) and associated components outlines the device's indications for use and the testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, it does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria or the specific study results (performance data) in the format typically required to answer your request fully, especially for acceptance criteria and performance of an AI/algorithm-based feature like the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) or Assisted Fluid Management (AFM).

    The document states:

    • "Completion of all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the subject devices meet their predetermined design and performance specifications."
    • "Measured and derived parameters were tested using a bench simulation. Additionally, system integration and mechanical testing was successfully conducted to verify the safety and effectiveness of the device. All tests passed."
    • "Software verification testing was conducted, and documentation was provided per FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". All tests passed."

    This indicates that internal performance specifications were met, but the specific metrics, thresholds, and study designs for achieving those specifications are not detailed in this public summary.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the table with specific numerical performance data against acceptance criteria for the HPI or AFM features, nor can I provide details on sample size, expert ground truth establishment, or MRMC studies, as this information is not present in the provided text.

    The text primarily focuses on:

    • Substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
    • Indications for Use for various HemoSphere configurations and modules.
    • Description of software and hardware modifications (e.g., integration of HPI algorithm, new finger cuffs).
    • General categories of testing performed (Usability, System Verification, Electrical Safety/EMC, Software Verification) with a blanket statement that "All tests passed."

    Based on the provided document, here's what can and cannot be stated:


    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    Cannot be provided with specific numerical data or thresholds from the given text. The document only states that "all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the subject devices meet their predetermined design and performance specifications." No specific acceptance criteria values (e.g., "Accuracy > X%", "Sensitivity > Y%", "Mean Absolute Error < Z") or reported performance values are publicly disclosed in this summary for any parameter, including HPI or AFM. For measured and derived parameters (like CO, MAP, etc.), it states they were tested using bench simulation, and "All tests passed," implying they met internal accuracy specifications for physical measurements, but these are not detailed.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    Cannot be provided from the given text. The document mentions "bench simulation" for measured and derived parameters, but does not provide sample sizes for these, or the type/provenance of data for testing the HPI or AFM algorithms.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    Cannot be provided from the given text. The document doesn't describe the process of establishing ground truth for the algorithms, nor does it mention the number or qualifications of experts involved in such a process.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    Cannot be provided from the given text. There is no mention of adjudication methods for any test sets.

    5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    Cannot be provided from the given text. The document does not describe any MRMC studies or human-in-the-loop performance evaluation regarding the HPI or AFM features. The HPI and AFM features are described as providing "physiological insight" and "suggestions," not as tools requiring reader interpretation in a comparative effectiveness study as typically seen with imaging AI.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Likely yes, based on the nature of the algorithms, but no specific performance metrics are provided. The HPI and AFM features are stated to provide "quantitative information" and "suggestions." The text indicates "System Verification (Non-Clinical Performance)" and "Software Verification" were performed, suggesting standalone evaluation against internal specifications, but no detailed results are provided. The HPI algorithm itself was "previously cleared in K230057," implying its standalone performance would have been evaluated during that prior clearance, but those details are not in this document.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    Cannot be definitively stated from the given text. For the HPI feature, which predicts future hypotensive events, ground truth would typically involve actual patient outcomes (e.g., observed hypotensive events). For AFM, which suggests response to fluid therapy, ground truth might involve observed physiological responses to fluid boluses. However, the document does not specify how these ground truths were established for the purpose of testing the algorithms.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Cannot be provided from the given text. The document does not mention details about the training data for the algorithms.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Cannot be provided from the given text. The document does not mention details about the training data or its ground truth establishment.


    Summary of Device Features Mentioned in Relation to Performance/Testing (General):

    • HemoSphere Advanced Monitor and various modules/accessories: The document primarily describes this as a monitoring platform for various hemodynamic parameters (CO, SvO2, MAP, etc.). Performance for these measured and derived parameters was tested via "bench simulation," and "All tests passed," implying they met internal benchmarks for accuracy and reliability.
    • Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) software feature: This feature provides "physiological insight into a patient's likelihood of future hypotensive events." It was integrated from a previously cleared device (K230057). The document states "There are no changes to the Acumen HPI algorithm from what was cleared in K230057." This implies that the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the HPI algorithm itself would be found in the K230057 clearance documentation, not typically resubmitted in detail for integration into another platform unless the integration process significantly altered its functionality or intended use.
    • Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) software feature: This feature provides "physiological insight into a patient's estimated response to fluid therapy" and "suggestions." It also mentions "Acumen AFM fluid administration suggestions are offered to the clinician; the decision to administer a fluid bolus is made by the clinician, based upon review of the patient's hemodynamics. No therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Assisted Fluid Management suggestions." This language suggests it's a supportive, advisory tool, rather than a diagnostic one requiring strict accuracy metrics in the same way. No performance specifics for AFM are given.
    • Usability Study: Conducted to ensure primary operating functions and critical tasks can be performed without patient or user harm. Determined that "intended users can perform primary operating functions and critical tasks of the system without any usability issues that may lead to patient or user harm." This is an acceptance criterion for human factors, but not for algorithmic performance.
    • Electrical Safety and EMC, Software Verification: All tests passed. These are general product safety and quality criteria, not specific to the performance of the predictive algorithms.

    To obtain the detailed performance data, acceptance criteria, sample sizes, and ground truth information for the HPI or AFM algorithms, one would typically need to refer to the original 510(k) submission for the HPI algorithm (K230057) and potentially separate documentation for the AFM feature, which are not included in this general clearance letter for the HemoSphere platform update.
