Intended Use
The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter is a steerable electrophysiology catheter used for recording intracardiac signals and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiological studies. The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheters are to be used to map the atrial regions of the heart.
Device Story
Flexible, steerable, radiopaque diagnostic catheter; features distal double-loop design for circumferential cardiac structure mapping. Operates by recording intracardiac electrical signals and delivering stimulation during electrophysiological studies. Used by electrophysiologists in clinical settings; catheter shaft manipulated via handle to position distal loop; loop shape facilitates fluoroscopic visualization and insertion through sheaths. Output consists of electrical signals transmitted via connecting cable to external electrogram recording equipment. Enables mapping of atrial regions without frequent repositioning; benefits patient by facilitating precise diagnostic electrophysiological assessment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing performed in accordance with 'Electrode Recording Catheter Preliminary Guidance, Draft Version' (March 1995). Results demonstrated reliable performance.
Technological Characteristics
Flexible, radiopaque catheter with multiple band electrodes; steerable shaft with distal double-loop geometry. Single-use, sterile. Connects to external electrogram recording devices. No software or active electronic components within the catheter itself.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing diagnostic electrophysiological studies requiring intracardiac signal recording and cardiac stimulation, specifically for mapping atrial regions of the heart.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An electrode recording catheter or an electrode recording probe is a device used to detect an intracardiac electrocardiogram, or to detect cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunts. The device may be unipolar or multipolar for electrocardiogram detection, or may be a platinum-tipped catheter which senses the presence of a special indicator for cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunt determinations.

## A description of the device that is the subject of the 510(k), including explanation of 4. how the device functions, basic scientific concepts, significant physical and performance characteristics (design, material, physical properties):
The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter is a flexible, radiopaque catheter with a variable number of electrodes with the first electrode located at the distal tip and the other band electrodes following at predetermined distances. A connecting cable is used to connect the catheter to electrogram devices.
The catheter has a distal double loop in a plane perpendicular to the catheter body. The circumferential shape or loop allows the electrophysiologist to record the potentials of cardiac structures without changing the position of the catheter. The catheter shaft is steerable by manipulating the handle. The placement of the electrodes around the entire circumference of the distal loop also assists the electrophysiologist during fluoroscopy with visualization. The distal loop shape is easily straightened with the thumb and forefinger to facilitate insertion into sheaths and introducers. Once the catheter is extended beyond the sheath, the catheter resumes its pre-formed shape. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only.
#### Statement of intended use: 5.
The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter is a steerable electrophysiology catheter used for recording intracardiac signals and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiological studies. The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic catheters are to be used to map the atrial regions of the heart.
### Statement of how the technological characteristics of the device compare to those of 6. the predicate or legally marketed device.
The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter and its predicate devices are intended for electrogram recording and stimulation during electrophysiological studies. The encertifications do not affect the intended use or scientific technology of the device, as embodied in the catheter.
#### Brief summary of nonclinical tests and results: 7.
The bench testing for the Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter was based on the The belieft tosument "Electrode Recording Catheter Preliminary Guidance, Draft Version'', March 1995. Test results indicate reliable performance when the device is used version , March 1999 Instructions for Use. The catheter does not raise new issues of safety, effectiveness, or performance of the product.
