Intended Use
The Medline ReNewal Reprocessed St. Jude Medical Livewire Electrophysiology Catheter can be used in the evaluation of a variety of cardiac arrhythmias from endocardial and intravascular sites.
Device Story
Reprocessed diagnostic electrophysiology catheter; used for electrogram recording and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic EP studies. Placed at high right atrium, right ventricular apex, His bundle, and coronary sinus. Features steerable design with user-adjustable tip curve and various electrode spacings. Used by clinicians in clinical settings. Reprocessed a maximum of two times; marked and retired after cycle limit. Device provides electrical interface for cardiac mapping; output used by physician to diagnose arrhythmias.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluated via functional performance (simulated use, bond/torsional strength, leakage current, deflection, fatigue, tip flexibility, buckling, electrical resistance/impedance, corrosion), cleaning validation (protein, TOC, endotoxins, visual inspection), biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, hemocompatibility), and sterilization/packaging validation (bioburden, EO/ECH residuals).
Technological Characteristics
Steerable diagnostic electrophysiology catheter with multiple electrode spacings. Features include adjustable tip curve, shaft/handle flexibility, and electrical continuity. Reprocessed using validated cleaning and ethylene oxide sterilization processes. Maximum of two reprocessing cycles allowed.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias via endocardial and intravascular electrogram recording and cardiac stimulation.
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.

Dear Brandi Panteleon:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR
{1}------------------------------------------------
Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ResourcesforYou/Industry/default.htm. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
