Intended Use
The CARTO® 3 V1.0 System is intended for catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping. The mapping system allows real-time display of cardiac maps in a number of different formats. Maps may be displayed as anatomical maps, cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps, impedance maps, cardiac chamber geometry maps and ECG fragmentation maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms may also be displayed in real time on the System's display screen. The CARTO® 3 V1.0 System is also intended to support EP procedures, maintaining CARTO® System capabilities, in the presence of a high metallic environment and magnetic field strengths upto 0.1 T and provide a data mgn munication channel to the Stereotaxis Niobe® Catheter Navigation System. The CARTO® 3 V1.0 System includes CARTOMERGE® PLUS functionality to import, register and merge CT or MRI structural images with CARTO® map's physiological information and real time catheter navigation. The system includes the Fast Anatomical Mapping (FAM) functionality that allows for the quick creation of cardiac anatomical yolumes using catheters with magnetic location sensors. The system's CARTOSOUND™ image integration functionality enables integration of intracardiac echo (ICE) to enable visualization of 3D combined maps. In addition to the use of specialized navigation catheters with magnetic location sensors, the system is also intended for use with conventional, non-navigational, electrophysiology catheters without magnetic location sensors.

### Description of the Device Subject to Premarket Notification: 5.2
The CARTO® 3 V1.0 EP Navigation System is a catheter-based atrial and ventrioular mapping system designed to acquire and analyze data points, and use this information to display 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the human heart in real-time. The location information needed to create the cardiac maps and the local electrograms are acquired using a specialized mapping catheter and reference device. The system allows real-time display of electrograms and cardiac maps based on the received intra cardiac signals from the catheters in a number of different formats. For example, maps may be displayed as anatomical maps, cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps, impedance maps, cardiac chamber geometry and ECG fragmentation maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms (IECG) may also be displayed on the display screen.
The CARTO® 3 V1.0 System uses two distinct types of location technology - magnetic sensor technology and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology. The system utilizes magnetic sensor technology to locate the magnetic location sensor housed within a navigational catheter. The system uses "ACL technology" in conjunction with the magnetic sensor technology to locate the catheter electrodes. ACL was previously referred to as "Active Current Localization" in the CARTO" III 510(k) submission (K072202). Following clearance of K072202, the acronym "ACL" was changed to Advanced Catheter Location for marketing purposes. External reference patches are needed for magnetic sensor-based as well as for ACL-based localization. The external reference patches are accessories to the system. Three patches are placed on the patient's
{2}------------------------------------------------
chest and three are placed on the patient's back. Each patch connects to a location sensor mounted on the patch unit cables that extend from the CARTO® 3 System.
Magnetic sensor location is calculated in reference to an axis origin based on external references. In order to locate the magnetic location sensor of mapping (navigational) catheters (such as the NAVISTAR catheter), the system compares the location of the mapping catheter sensor to the mean calculation obtained from the three sensors located on the patch cables attached to the patient's back.
In order to locate and visualize the electrodes on a catheter using ACL technology, three patch cables must be attached to the patches placed on the patient's chest and three patch cables must be attached to the patches placed on the patient's back.
The CARTO® 3 V1.0 System was implemented on the same hardware and software platform as the predicate CARTO® III System, cleared on November 17, 2007 via the CARTO® III 510(k) K072202.. The purpose of this 510(k) is to expand functionalities on the base CARTO® III System. The information presented below details the system's enhanced or additional functionality.
There are three basic categories of added functionality for the CARTO® 3 V1.0 system:

- iii. Catheter visualization using an enhanced ACL algorithm.
- iv. Gated and Non-gated catheter visualization.
