| Device Description | The Medline ReNewal Reprocessed Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR eco Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheters 8F, 8FG, 10F, 10FG are licensed for single use only. Models differ in shaft diameter (8F or 10F) and ultrasound system compatibility (Siemens [8F and 10F] or GE [8FG and 10FG]). The catheter consists of a CARTO connector, SwiftLink (ultrasound) connector, handle and shaft. In the distal tip of each catheter's shaft are a 64-element ultrasound transducer providing 2D imaging and a 3D location sensor providing location information to the compatible CARTO 3 Electrophysiology (EP) Navigation System. The deflection and tension knobs on the handle are used to articulate the distal tip and control the image plane orientation with four-directional (anterior-posterior, left-right) deflection. | |
| Technological Characteristics | The technological characteristics, materials, and the fundamental scientific technology of the subject devices are equivalent to the predicate devices. The subject devices are reprocessed versions of the predicate device. Each device is marked, tracked, and taken out of service once the maximum number of cycles has been reached. K140318 and K112050 were used as the predicates to support intended use, technological characteristics, and functional performance specifications. | |
| Non-clinical Testing Summary | Functional characteristics of the subject devices have been evaluated and found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on:
- Functional performance:
• simulated use and artificial soiling;
• visual inspection;
