Intended Use

The Volta AF-Xplorer assists operators in the real-time manual or automatic annotation of 3D anatomical and electrical maps of human atria for the presence of multipolar intra-cardiac atrial electrograms exhibiting spatiotemporal dispersion during atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia.

Device Story

Volta AF-Xplorer is a machine and deep learning-based software system used by electrophysiologists in clinical settings to assist in real-time annotation of 3D cardiac maps. It accepts intra-cardiac multipolar electrogram (EGM) signals via compatible EP recording systems (analog) or 3D mapping systems (digital). The software analyzes these signals to identify regions exhibiting spatiotemporal dispersion. Outputs are displayed on a monitor, highlighting areas of interest; in digital mode, the system can automatically tag these regions within the 3D mapping system. By identifying dispersed EGMs, the device aids clinicians in targeting specific atrial regions during catheter ablation procedures. This real-time guidance is intended to support the identification of potential ablation targets, potentially improving procedural outcomes for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.

Clinical Evidence

Evidence provided via the Tailored-AF trial (NCT04702451), a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial (n=370) comparing tailored ablation (PVI + dispersion targeting via VX1 AI) vs. conventional PVI-only. Primary endpoint: freedom from AF >30s at 12 months. Results: 88% success in Tailored arm vs. 70% in Anatomical arm (p<0.0001). Secondary endpoints showed no significant difference in freedom from any atrial arrhythmia (76% vs 71%) or quality of life. Tailored arm had higher minor complication rates (8.0% vs 3.2%) and longer procedure/ablation times.

Technological Characteristics

System comprises a computing platform (Intel Core i7-7700, 32GB RAM, Debian-based Linux) and software. Inputs: analog/digital intra-cardiac signals. Connectivity: unidirectional analog (custom cable + Advantech PCI-1713U converter) or bidirectional digital (Ethernet). Output: real-time visualization of EGM dispersion and cycle length. Algorithm: machine/deep learning-based signal processing. Non-sterile, reusable.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia undergoing electrophysiological mapping of the human atria.

Device Description

The Volta AF-Xplorer is a machine and deep learning based-algorithm designed to assist operators in the real-time manual or automatic annotation of 3D anatomical and electrical maps of the human heart for the presence of electrograms (EGMs) exhibiting spatio-temporal dispersion, i.e., dispersed EGMs.

The Volta AF-Xplorer device is a non-sterile reusable medical device, composed of a computing platform and a software application. Volta AF-Xplorer works with all existing 510(k)-cleared catheters that meet specific dimension requirements and with one of the three specific data acquisition systems:

- Two compatible EP recording systems: the LabSystem Pro EP Recording System (Boston Scientific) (K141185) or the MacLab CardioLab EP Recording System (General Electric) (K130626),
- a 3D mapping system: EnSite X 3D mapping system (Abbott) (K221213).

K243812

A connection cable is used to connect the corresponding data acquisition system to the Volta AF-Xplorer system, depending on the type of communication used:

- Unidirectional analog communication with the EP recording systems via a custom-made cable (two different variants: DSUB, Octopus) and an Advantech PCI-1713U analog-to-digital converter, which acquires analog data, digitizes it, and transmits the digital signals to the computer that hosts the Volta AF-Xplorer software.
- Bidirectional digital communication with the EnSite 3D mapping system via an ethernet cable (four different lengths: 20, 10, 5 or 2m) which transmits the digital signals directly to the computer.

The computer and its attached display are located outside the sterile operating room area. The Volta AF-Xplorer software analyzes the patient's electrograms to cue operators in real-time to intra-cardiac electrograms of interest for atrial regions harboring dispersed electrograms as well as a cycle length estimation from electrograms recorded with the mapping and the coronary sinus catheters. The results of the analysis are graphically presented on the attached computer display and/or on a secondary medical screen or on an operating room widescreen. The identified regions of interest are either manually (all configurations) or automatically (only available in digital bidirectional communication with the EnSite X 3D mapping system) tagged in the corresponding 3D mapping system.

## Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Volta AF-Xplorer assists operators in the real-time manual or automatic annotation of 3D anatomical and electrical maps of human atria for the presence of multipolar intra-cardiac atrial electrograms exhibiting spatiotemporal dispersion during atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia.

Differences between subject and predicate intended use:

The intended use / indications for use of the subject and predicate devices are identical with the exception that the qualifying language related to the clinical significance of the device has been removed based upon the results of the Tailored-AF clinical study which provide new clinical evidence related to the device safety, effectiveness and performance.

The updated indications for use statement and additions to the product labeling do not alter the intended use of the device as an electrophysiological evaluation tool and do not affect, or raise different questions of, the device safety and effectiveness.

## Summary of Technological Characteristics

The Volta AF-Xplorer device is technologically identical to its Volta AF-Xplorer predicate (K232616).

Volta AF-Xplorer and predicate are software programs that work with standard electrophysiology catheters to aid in mapping the heart. Volta AF-Xplorer and its predicate aid operators by assisting in annotating complex electrical maps of the heart, and process and output information via a computer and display that are operated by use of a keyboard / mouse. Volta AF-Xplorer and its predicate have the same input (intra-cardiac multipolar signals) and the same output (associated dispersion).

Volta AF-Xplorer and its predicate support electrophysiologists in the manual annotation of dispersed areas using an unidirectional analog communication. Volta AF-Xplorer and its predicate provide the ability to connect to a specific 3D mapping system through a bidirectional digital communication, which enables the operator to use the device's function for automatically tagging regions of interest.

# Performance Data

No bench or animal testing was conducted in support of this submission.

The company also provided the Tailored-AF study results published in Nature Medicine Journal (Deisenhofer et al) and performed on VX1, the substantially equivalent predicate device to Volta AF-Xplorer, to support the updated indications for use and product labeling.

The Tailored-AF Trial (NCT04702451) was an international, multicenter, randomized, controlled, single-blind, superiority trial in which patients with drug-refractory persistent atrial fibrillation were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either (1) a tailored ablation procedure targeting areas of spatiotemporal dispersion detected by VX1 artificial intelligence software (predecessor to Volta AF-Xplorer) in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) (the "Tailored" group; n=187), or (2) to a conventional pulmonary vein isolation-only procedure (the "Anatomical" group; n=183). The trial was conducted at 26 centers across 5 countries in Europe and the United States. A total of 51 operators performed the catheter ablation procedures.

The primary effectiveness endpoint was freedom from documented atrial fibrillation lasting more than 30 seconds after a 3-month blanking period through 12 months after one ablation procedure with or without anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs). Freedom from any atrial arrhythmia was addressed in secondary effectiveness endpoints. The use of anti-arrhythmic medications was allowed during the first 3 months after the initial ablation (the post-ablation "blanking period"), after which their use was discouraged. All study subjects were followed for 12 months with scheduled visits at 3, 6, and 12 months. Clinical assessments, 12-lead electrocardiograms and 24-hour Holter monitoring recordings were obtained at each visit. All patients received a 6-lead Kardia portable monitor and were asked to perform and transmit rhythm recordings weekly and any time they had symptoms for the complete study duration. Patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation after the blanking period were allowed to start or resume the use of anti-arrhythmic medications; they were also allowed to undergo a repeat ablation using the same procedure to which they were initially randomly assigned. A total of 13 patients dropped out of the study before the end of the blanking period (7 in the Tailored arm and 6 in the Anatomical arm) and were not included in the analyzed modified Intention-To-Treat ("mITT") population.

The proportion of subjects who were on a Class 1 or 3 AAD at study enrollment, hospital discharge, and the 3-month visit was similar between the two study arms. However, a greater proportion of subjects in the Tailored arm were on a Class 1 or 3 AAD at the 6-month visit (24% in Tailored arm vs. 20% in Anatomical arm) and the 12-month visit (25% in Tailored arm vs. 23% in Anatomical arm), due at least in part to the need for managing atrial tachycardia that occurred more often in the Tailored arm after the blanking period.

Regarding the primary effectiveness endpoint, of the 180 mITT patients in the Tailored arm who underwent the Tailored procedure and remained in the study, 158 (88%) demonstrated treatment success with respect to the primary effectiveness endpoint as compared to 124 (70%) patients who demonstrated treatment success in the Anatomical mITT population (n=177). The 18% difference in primary effectiveness success between the two study arms was statistically significant (log-rank p&lt;0.0001). The proportion of primary effectiveness successes who were completely off Class 1/3 AADs throughout the effectiveness evaluation period (i.e., after the 3-month blanking period through the 12-month visit) was lower in the Tailored arm than in the Anatomical arm (91/158 or 58% in Tailored

arm vs. 82/124 or 66% in Anatomical arm) due at least in part to the use of AADs for managing atrial tachycardia that occurred more often in the Tailored arm after the blanking period. The proportion of primary effectiveness successes who were on a Class 1 or 3 AAD throughout the effectiveness evaluation period was similar between the two study arms (30/158 or 19% in Tailored arm vs. 21/124 or 17% in Anatomical arm).

Regarding secondary effectiveness endpoints, in the mITT population, more patients in the Tailored arm experienced freedom from any atrial arrhythmia (including atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia) at 12 months after one or two ablation procedures, with or without the use of anti-arrhythmic medications after a 3-month blanking period, although this difference was not statistically significant (76% in Tailored arm vs. 71% in Anatomical arm). There was no difference between the two study arms in the proportion of subjects free of any atrial arrhythmia recurrence at 12 months after one procedure, with or without the use of antiarrhythmic medications after a 3-month blanking period (60% vs. 60%).

The number of repeat procedures considered in the multiple-procedure endpoint was greater in the Tailored arm than in the Anatomical arm (47 vs. 34 in the Tailored and Anatomical arms, respectively).

Patient's quality of life assessed by using the AFEQT and SF-36 questionnaires improved significantly at 12 months post-index procedure from baseline, independent of the ablation strategy. The differences in the improvement in the AFEQT and SF-36 scores from baseline to 12 months post-index procedure were not statistically significant between the Tailored and Anatomical arms.

The rate of death, cerebrovascular events, or serious treatment-related adverse event at 12 months post procedure, which was a secondary endpoint of the study did not differ statistically between the two study arms (8/187 or 4.3% in the Tailored arm vs. 5/183 or 2.7% in the Anatomical arm). There was no difference between the two study arms in the proportion of subjects with at least one major procedure-related complications (5/187 or 2.7% in Tailored arm vs. 5/183 or 2.7% in Anatomical arm). However, the rate of subjects with at least one minor procedure-related complication is numerically higher in the Tailored arm (8.0%) (driven by more events of fluid overload and pericardial complications) compared to the Anatomical arm (3.2%) due presumably to the longer procedure and radiofrequency (RF) ablation times in the Tailored arm. Indeed, the procedure and ablation time were twice as long in the Tailored arm (178 ± 60 minutes vs. 92 ± 36 minutes for procedure time and 42 ± 17 minutes vs. 20 ± 11 minutes for ablation time).

In summary, the results of the Tailored-AF study showed that ablation of areas with dispersed EGMs detected by the VX1 device, a previous version of the Volta AF-Xplorer that uses the same primary algorithm, in addition to PVI was superior to PVI alone in terms of freedom from AF at one-year follow-up in patients with drug-refractory symptomatic persistent AF, while additional ablation of areas with dispersed EGMs did not result in greater treatment success in terms of freedom from any atrial arrhythmia at one-year follow-up in this population. The latter was due to more occurrences of atrial tachycardia following the tailored ablation procedure targeting areas with dispersed EGMs in addition to PVI. Moreover, compared to PVI alone, the tailored ablation procedure was associated with more minor procedure-related complications (fluid overload and pericardial complications), and longer procedure and ablation times due to additional ablation of areas with dispersed EGMs.

# Conclusions

The subject Volta AF-Xplorer device is as safe and effective as the previously cleared Volta AF-Xplorer device (K232616). The Volta AF-Xplorer has the same intended uses and similar indications, and identical technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device.

Performance data demonstrate the appropriateness of updating the indications for use and product labeling. The updated indications for use statement and additions to the product labeling do not alter the intended use of the device as an electrophysiological evaluation tool and do not affect, or raise different questions of, the device safety and effectiveness.

Thus, the Volta AF-Xplorer is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.
