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 Story
Catheter-based cardiac mapping system; acquires/analyzes intracardiac electrograms (IECG) and body surface ECG signals; utilizes magnetic sensor and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology to track catheter position. Transforms input signals into real-time 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the heart. Used in clinical settings by physicians during EP procedures to visualize cardiac electrical activity and catheter location. Includes SMARTTOUCH™ module for contact force monitoring, Advanced FAM (Fast Anatomical Mapping) for visualization, Remote Magnetic Technology (RMT) support, and PaSo™ (Pace Mapping) module. Output displayed on screen to assist clinical decision-making during ablation or diagnostic procedures. Benefits include enhanced navigation and mapping precision for cardiac interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence includes non-clinical bench testing, animal testing, and an IDE clinical investigation. Testing verified modified features and confirmed that software updates did not negatively impact existing functionality. Results demonstrated the system is as safe and effective as the predicate and reference devices.
Technological Characteristics
Programmable diagnostic computer; utilizes magnetic sensor and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology. Hardware platform is identical to predicate Version 3.0. Software-based system for 3D cardiac mapping and electrogram display. Connectivity includes video export to recording systems. No specific materials or sterilization methods listed for the console/software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients eligible for conventional catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological (EP) procedures. No specific age or gender restrictions; no special contraindications.

### 14.3 Description of Device
The CARTO®3 EP Navigation 3 System, Version 3.2 and Accessories is a catheterbased atrial and ventricular 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 intracardiac signals from the catheters in a number of different formats. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms (IECG) may also be displayed on the display screen. The CARTO® 3 System V3.2 uses two distinct types of location technology magnetic sensor technology and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology.
#### 14.4 Indications for 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.
# 14.4a Technological Characteristics
The Proposed CARTO® 3 Electrophysiology Navigation System. Version 3.2, has the same technological characteristics (i. e., design, material, chemical composition, energy source) as the predicate CARTO® 3 Electrophysiology Navigation System, Version 3.0. A summary of the technological characteristics of the new device compared to the predicate device is as follows:

- . The hardware platform of the new Version 3.2 is identical to the predicate Version 3.0.
- . The differences between Versions 3.2 and 3.0 involve only software as follows:
- The main change in this submission is to activate an installed but previously o blocked SMARTTOUCHTM Module.
- o The software of three other features of this system is enhanced (i. e., updated) in this submission: 1) Advanced FAM - Visual improvement of the V2 FAM Feature, 2) Remote Magnetic Technology (RMT) Improvements, and 3) Video Export to Recording System.
- o Finally, Biosense Webster is updating FDA on a feature that was incorporated via 510(k) Letter to File since the last submission: Improved Pace Mapping Software (PaSoTM) Module. The PaSoTM Module was originally cleared via in an earlier version of this device and this device is included in this Application as a Reference Device for the PaSo™ Module feature: CARTO® XP EP Navigation System, Version 10 (510(k) K093566, cleared June 18, 2010).
### 14.5 Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing
The CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System, Version 3.2 underwent extensive Bench and Animal Testing to verify the modified features and to demonstrate with regression testing that the new features did not negatively affect existing features. The CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System, Version 3.2 passed all tests in accordance with appropriate test criteria and standards, and the CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System, Version 3.2 and Accessories did not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
#### 14.6 Conclusions
. ...
Extensive Non-Clinical (Bench) Testing, Animal Testing, and an IDE Clinical Investigation all demonstrated that the CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System, Version 3.2 and Accessories as used with the activated SMARTOUCH® Module are as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the Predicate Device and the Reference Device. This testing program supports the determination of substantial equivalence of the CARTO® 3 EP Navigation System, Version 3.2 and Accessories to existing predicate devices.
