Intended Use
The VeriSight VeriSight Pro ICE Catheter is intended for intracardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart. The catheter is intended for imaging guidance only, not treatment delivery, during cardiac interventional percutaneous procedures.
Device Story
VeriSight/VeriSight Pro ICE catheters are sterile, single-use, 9F diagnostic ultrasound catheters; used for intracardiac/intra-luminal visualization during percutaneous cardiac procedures. Catheters feature distal ultrasound transducers for 2D (VeriSight) or 2D/3D (VeriSight Pro) imaging; proximal handle with two steering wheels enables four-way distal articulation. Devices connect to Philips EPIQ ultrasound systems via a patient interface module (PIM). Physicians operate the catheter under fluoroscopic guidance to visualize cardiac structures and devices. Real-time ultrasound output assists in procedural guidance; does not deliver treatment. Benefits include high-resolution visualization of cardiac anatomy and device placement during interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data required; substantial equivalence established via non-clinical performance testing, including visual inspection, dimensional, actuation, tensile, deliverability, saline imaging, biocompatibility, sterilization, and system-level electrical/EMC/acoustic output testing.
Technological Characteristics
9F diameter, 90cm length, 4-way steerable catheter. Ultrasound transducer elements (840 elements, 7 MHz center frequency). Compatible with Philips EPIQ 7C, CVx, and CVxi systems. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide. Complies with EN/IEC 60601-1, EN/IEC 60601-1-2, EN/IEC 60601-2-37, and IEC 62359.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intracardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy, physiology, and other devices in the heart during cardiac interventional percutaneous procedures. Intended for imaging guidance only, not treatment delivery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.

Dear Rand Daoud:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

### Subject Device Description:
The Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) System comprises of the VeriSight Pro ICE Catheters, the ICE PIM, and the EPIQ Diagnostic Ultrasound System (cleared under K202216).
The VeriSight/VeriSight Pro Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) catheters are sterile, disposable, and for single use only. The catheter's distal end has an ultrasound transducer providing 2D and/or 3D imaging capabilities. A handle, located at the proximal end of the catheter, has two steering wheels that can be manually operated to control four-way articulation of the distal segment in anterior, posterior, left and right directions. The catheter has a 9 French (F) shaft and a usable length of 90 cm.
The VeriSight and VeriSight Pro ICE Catheters are identical in all regards (material, processing, assembly and packaging). The VeriSight ICE catheter provides 2D ultrasound imaging capabilities. The VeriSight Pro ICE catheter provides 2D and/or 3D ultrasound imaging capabilities, depending on the model and configuration of the EPIQ ultrasound system it connects to. The catheters are compatible with ancillary equipment such as sheaths and introducers. The catheters are sterilized via Ethylene Oxide.
The catheters connect to the Philips EPIQ Diagnostic Ultrasound System via a patient interface module (PIM); the connection between the catheter and the PIM is located outside the sterile field. The catheters will not operate if connected to any other imaging system. These catheters are for exclusive use with Philips EPIQ 7C, CVx, and CVxi series of ultrasound systems, cleared under K202216.
#### Indications for Use:
VeriSight/ VeriSight Pro ICE catheter:
The VeriSight/ VeriSight Pro ICE catheter is intracardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart. The catheter is intended for imaging guidance only, not treatment delivery, during cardiac interventional percutaneous procedures.

The Technological Comparison Table above provides a detailed comparison demonstrating that both the VeriSight/VeriSight Pro ICE Catheters and the predicate AcuNav Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter share the same intended use and similar indications for use, same principle of operation for primary function (ultrasonic imaging), the same mechanism of action for achieving actuation, similar physical form of the catheter, and the same clinical operation and the device life cycle (sterile, single use disposable). Hence, the VeriSight Pro ICE Catheters are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Siemens AcuNav Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter 8F, 10F cleared under K170263.
Any differences between the subject and predicate devices were evaluated through design verification and validation testing, which did not raise new questions of safety and/or effectiveness and support a determination of substantial equivalence.
### Reference Device Comparison:
The ACUSON AcuNav Volume ICE Catheter (K173618), is identified as a reference device and shares the same operating principles and technological characteristics, specifically when related to Philips VeriSight Pro ICE catheter's 3D imaging modalities.
{8}------------------------------------------------
