The system can be used on patients who are eligible for a conventional electrophysiological procedure. The system has no special contraindications.
Device Story
CARTO 3 V4.2 is a catheter-based cardiac mapping system; acquires/analyzes intracardiac signals and body surface ECG; uses magnetic sensor and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology to track catheter position. System generates 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the heart in real-time. Used by physicians in clinical EP procedures; provides visual feedback of electrical activity and catheter location to guide diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Features include CARTOMERGE Plus for image integration, Tissue Proximity Indication (TPI) for electrode voltage measurement, and continuous ECG visualization. Output displayed on monitors for physician decision-making during procedures; assists in navigating cardiac structures and identifying arrhythmia substrates.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and animal testing only. No clinical data presented. Testing verified new/modified features and confirmed regression testing showed no negative impact on existing features.
Technological Characteristics
Programmable diagnostic computer; magnetic sensor and ACL technology; hardware includes modified ACL Tx card for electrode voltage measurement; connectivity supports dual monitors; software modules include TPI, CARTOMERGE Plus, and enhanced VisiTag II; system performs real-time 3D anatomical/electroanatomical mapping.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients eligible for conventional catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological (EP) procedures. No special contraindications.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### 143 Description of Device
The CARTO 3 System V4.2 is a catheter-based 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 catheters and reference devices. The system allows realtime 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 V4.2 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.
