Device Description Summary
21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
The CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath is designed to provide accessibility and maneuverability in the cardiac anatomy.
The steerable sheath is fitted with a hemostatis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and/or exchange. A sideport
with three-way stopcock is provided for air or blood aspiration, and fluid infusion. A handle equipped with a rotating collar to deflect the
tip clockwise ≥ 180° and counterclockwise ≥ 180°. The steerable sheath features distal vent holes to facilitate aspiration and minimize
cavitation and a radiopaque tip marker to allow fluoroscopic visualization. The steerable sheath is coated with silicone lubricant on the
entire shaft and dilator surface to help minimize friction at the insertion site.
The sheath has electrodes on the outer surface to allow interface with compatible CARTO® 3 EP Navigation Systems.
Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath is indicated for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the heart,
including the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum.
The sheath curve can be visualized when used with compatible CARTO® EP Navigation Systems.
## Indications for Use Comparison
The predicate device is the CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath, 510(k)#: K170997.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device, as defined in FDA's The 510(k) Program: Evaluating Substantial Equivalence in the Premarket Notifications [510(k)). The sole purpose of this submission is to revise the instructions for use (IFU) to (1) allow for the use of direct imaging guidance, such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound, during catheter manipulation, and (2) to adhere to FDA Guidance "htravascular Catheters, Wire, and Delivery Systems with Lubricious Coatings -Labeling Considerations" (October 2019).
Intended Use: The proposed CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath has the same intended use as the predicate CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath. Specifically, both devices are indicated for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the heart, including the left of the heart through the interatrial septum.
## Technological Comparison
### 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath is identical in technological characteristics with the predicate device, as there are no changes in the materials, design, or other from those of the CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath cleared under K170997.
The CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath is a typical bi-directional guiding sheath that is unique only in the presence of four ring electrodes spaced along its shaft. Otherwise, there are no special technical aspects of this sheath to facilitate the introduction of various cardiovascular catheters into the heart.
The safety and performance of the CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath with the additional workflow has been validated through clinical study data. Since the catheter design and intended use is identical for the proposed device, there is no significant difference in the safety and performance of the device.
#### Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
The clinical study data demonstrated that the CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The CARTO VIZIGO® 8.5F Bi-Directional Guiding Sheath is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of fundamental scientific technology based on the identical design, principles of operation, and indications for use.
