Neonav provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity. Neonav is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest X-ray and fluoroscopy for all central venous access device tip placement confirmation. In adult patients and in adolescents (greater than 12 through 21 years of age), Neonav can be used with CVADs such as peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs), implantable ports, and hemodialysis catheters; in children (greater than 2 to 12 years of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs and with CICCs; in infants (greater than 1 month to 2 years of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs and CICCs; and in neonates (from birth to 1 month of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs, CICCs, and umbilical venous catheters (UVCs). In each specific age group, the CVAD type and size must be chosen and the CVAD must be used according to the CVAD's indications and instructions for use. Limiting but not contraindicated situations for use of the Neonav are in patients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P wave as in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia, and pacemaker driven rhythm. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous access device insertion, the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location. ## Device Story Non-invasive system for real-time tracking of CVAD tip location during/post-placement; utilizes patient's intravascular ECG (I-ECG) signals. Input: electrical impulses detected at catheter tip via conductive fluid or guidewire/stylet method; reference/noise-reduction surface electrodes applied to patient. Processing: Neonav Console analyzes I-ECG and surface ECG signals; displays real-time waveforms, QRS complex, P-wave, and heart rate. Operation: clinician-controlled via touchscreen or remote; used in clinical settings. Output: visual display of catheter tip position; assists clinicians in confirming placement without fluoroscopy or chest X-ray. Benefit: reduces radiation exposure; provides real-time guidance for accurate tip positioning. ## Clinical Evidence Retrospective sub-analysis of PICC and UVC design validation datasets from observational clinical studies. Success rate >90% for all assessed software parameters. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: biocompatible polycarbonate and stainless steel (indirect patient contact via fluids). Sensing: I-ECG via catheter tip and surface reference electrodes. Connectivity: standard luer lock connections. Software: GUI-based analysis of ECG signals. Energy: electrical (ECG signal acquisition). ## Regulatory Identification A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device.

Catheter position in the vasculature is analyzed based on the patient's intravascular ECG (I-ECG). An I-ECG is recorded via the catheter tip from within the blood vessels of a patient. For the conductive fluid method, the sterile Neonav ECG Adapter and Adapter Cable are used whereas for guidewire/stylet method, the sterile Neonav ECG clip cable is used. These components allow the electrical impulses detected at the catheter tip to be recorded by a non-sterile Acquisition Unit and analyzed by the Neonav Console to assist in determining the catheter tip position. The Neonav Console can be controlled via a touch screen interface or a Remote enclosed in a sterile cover. The Neonav Console displays real-time surface ECG and I-ECG signals, highlighted QRS complex, max measured P-wave, the patient's heart rate, and other device performance indicators. A surface electrode is placed on the subject to act as a reference electrode. A second surface electrode is placed on the subject for noise reduction. Neonav components are designed to attach easily to standard catheter and IV therapy components via standard luer lock connections. The only patient contacting component of the Neonav is the ECG Adapter. It has indirect contact with the patient via fluids and is composed of biocompatible polycarbonate and stainless steel. | | | | Intended Use/Indications for Use | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) | | Neonav is indicated for navigation and positioning of central venous access devices (CVADs) of at least 1Fr in size. Neonav provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity. Neonav is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest X-ray and fluoroscopy for all central venous access device tip placement confirmation. In adult patients and in adolescents (greater than 12 through 21 years of age), Neonav can be used with CVADs such as peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), centrally inserted central | | | {5} catheters (CICCs), implantable ports, and hemodialysis catheters; in children (greater than 2 to 12 years of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs and with CICCs; in infants (greater than 1 month to 2 years of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs and CICCs; and in neonates (from birth to 1 month of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs, CICCs, and umbilical venous catheters (UVCs). In each specific age group, the CVAD type and size must be chosen and the CVAD must be used according to the CVAD's indications and instructions for use. Limiting but not contraindicated situations for use of the Neonav are in patients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P wave as in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia, and pacemaker driven rhythm. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous access device insertion, the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location. ## Indications for Use Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) Neonav has equivalent indications for use with the predicate with the following adjustment: a) addition of umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) to the list of lines Neonav can be used with in neonates (from birth to 1 month of age). The intended use of the subject device is equivalent to that of the predicate: "The intended use of Neonav is to support navigation and tip positioning of central venous access devices. Neonav can be used as an alternative method to fluoroscopy and chest X-ray for central venous access device tip placement confirmation". Umbilical venous catheters are a type of central venous access device used in the neonatal intensive care unit. Once inserted, UVCs terminate at a target location in the inferior vena cava (IVC) – this target location is already part of the predicate device K241910. Technological, software, and usability characteristics of the subject device and predicate device are equivalent. Therefore, the addition of UVCs to the neonatal group does not constitute a new intended use. ## Technological Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6) The Neonav subject device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, which include device design, device connectivity and/or interfaces, materials, principles of operation, energy source, and software capabilities. The only difference is that the subject device offers the user an option to select the UVC line on screen during the procedure set-up (via the software graphical user interface, GUI). Thereafter, the subject device continues to be used in the same way as the predicate device. ## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b) Retrospective sub analysis conducted on PICC and UVC design validation datasets obtained from observational clinical studies showed a success rate of > 90% for all the software parameters assessed. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K260929](https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K260929) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
