Intended 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.

Device Story

CARTO 3 EP Navigation System V7.1 is a catheter-based diagnostic system for atrial and ventricular mapping. It acquires intracardiac electrical signals and catheter location data using magnetic sensor and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technologies. The system processes these inputs to generate 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the heart. Used in clinical settings by electrophysiologists during EP procedures; the system displays real-time electrograms and cardiac maps on a workstation. These outputs assist clinicians in visualizing cardiac electrical activity and catheter positioning, facilitating diagnostic decision-making during procedures. The system integrates previously cleared modules (CARTOFINDER, Coherent Mapping) and includes features like LAT histograms, parallel mapping, and advanced reference annotation to improve mapping accuracy and user experience.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of extensive bench and pre-clinical testing under simulated clinical conditions to verify new/modified features and regression testing to ensure no negative impact on existing predicate features. All testing passed according to established criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Cardiac mapping system using magnetic sensor and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology. Hardware includes Patient Interface Unit, 3D graphics workstation, monitors, and location pads. Identical hardware platform to predicate. Software-based processing for 3D anatomical and electroanatomical mapping. Connectivity via standard workstation peripherals.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients eligible for conventional catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological (EP) procedures. No special contraindications.

Regulatory Classification

Identification
