Indications for Use

The ViewMate® System is intended to be used to visualize cardiac structures and blood flow within the heart.

Device Story

ViewMate® System is a portable, computerized ultrasound imaging system for intracardiac visualization. It consists of a console (PC, beam former, frame grabber), patient isolation module, and ViewFlex™ ultrasound catheter. The catheter is a single-use, 9 French, bi-directional steerable device with a 64-element linear phased array transducer (4.5–8.5 MHz). Used in interventional cardiology and EP labs, the system captures and displays 2D (B-mode, color Doppler) and time-motion (spectral/pulse wave Doppler, M-mode) images. Physicians use the system to assess cardiac performance/size, locate EP catheters, and identify blood flow anomalies. The modification adds Nitinol wire to the shaft and bending section, and replaces distal transfer section materials with silicone to improve production yield, curvature distribution, and steering stability. The system aids clinical decision-making by providing real-time visualization of cardiac structures and EP catheter placement.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. The submission relies on bench testing, design controls, and verification/validation of the mechanical modifications to the catheter.

Technological Characteristics

9 French, 110 cm long, single-use intracardiac ultrasound catheter. 64-element linear phased array transducer (4.5–8.5 MHz, 86° viewing angle). Materials include radio-opaque tubing, silicone (distal transfer section), silicone adhesive Med1511, and Nitinol wire (round 0.018 in. in shaft, flat 0.005 x 0.020 in. in bending section). Bi-directional steerability. Console includes PC, beam former, and digital frame grabber. Imaging modes: B-mode, color Doppler, spectral Doppler, pulse wave Doppler, M-mode.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in adult and adolescent pediatric patients to visualize cardiac structures and blood flow within the heart.

#### 7.0 Device Description

- Background of the ViewMate® System with the ViewFlex™ Catheter: 7.1 The ViewMate® cardiac ultrasound imaging console in combination with the ViewFlex™ ultrasound catheter was cleared for US marketing on October 17, 2003 (K031066). As of this writing, there have been no significant modifications to any element of the ViewMate® System; therefore, there have been no additional notifications to FDA (the agency). On August 18, 2006 EPMedSystems' ViewFlex™ catheter was cleared for US marketing with Philips Medical Systems' (PMS) HD-11 Ultrasound System (K062247). There have been no other US filings regarding the ViewMate® console or the ViewFlex™ catheter.
- Product Numbering Change Notice: In an effort to make it easier for 7.2 customers to order catheters and to clarify product identification, EPMedSystems, Inc., (the company) is modifying the way it refers to the ViewFlex™ catheter. This is strictly a nomenclature change. The company currently uses VF-PA9F64E2D to represent the ViewFlex™ catheter model number, the transducer (model) number, the product code and the part number. Moving forward EPMedSystems will refer to the ultrasound product as follows in Table 1.

## Table 1: Product Code Modification

Notes: (1) "Catheter" and "Transducer" are not used synonymously. (2) "Transducer" model refers to the active ultrasonic element commonly referred to as a piezoelectric crystal contained within the catheter - there is no change to this component, it is the same as that cleared under K032066. (3) "W" indicates wire added as part of the redesign; this differentiates the product by design. (4) Units of former design will also be sold during a phase in period as VF-PA9F64E2D.

- General Description of the ViewMate® System with the ViewFlex™ 7.3 Catheter: The ViewMate® cardiac ultrasound imaging system (K031066) is intended to be used to visualize cardiac structures and blood flow within the heart; it is indicated for use in adult and adolescent pediatric patients. The ViewMate® system's imaging capability can be used by physicians to: assess overall cardiac performance and size, determine the presence and location of electrophysiology catheters, aid in electrophysiology procedures, and visualize blood flow through cardiac arteries. Cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures are complex diagnostic tests that enable physicians to look at electrical signals from within the heart to determine if an abnormality (arrhythmia) exists. Use of the ViewMate® system in EP studies offers significant advantages in that it enables physicians to locate and accurately place EP catheters and to identify physiologic and blood flow anomalies.
- The ViewMate® System is a portable, computerized, ultrasound imaging 7.4 system used to display and capture intracardiac ultrasound images. The ViewMate® System illustrated in Figure 1 is comprised of three components: ViewMate® console, patient isolation module and the ViewFlex™ ultrasound catheter.

- Change Scope and Description: The intent of this submission is to provide 7.7 premarket notification of modifications to the mechanical design of the ViewFlex™ catheter; intended use and indications for use are not affected. No changes have been made to the ultrasound or electronics design of the catheter; the ultrasound transducer and its performance is not affected by the proposed changes. Similarly, no changes have been made to the ViewMate® console. The modification is intended to improve production yield and throughput, to improve curvature distribution and bond strength of the transfer (bending) section, and to stabilize the steering (deflection) range. EPMedSystems employed design controls, verification and validation in the design change process. The changes are explained in Engineering Change Request - Change Description (ECRCD) 004 located in Appendix The following table 6 and in the supporting documentation provided. summarizes the changes.
