## Indications for Use

The CARTO® 3 V2.0 System is intended for catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping. The mapping system allows real-time display of cardiac maps in a number of different formats. Maps may be displayed as anatomical maps, cardiac electrical activation maps, cardiac electrical propagation maps, cardiac electrical potential maps, impedance maps, cardiac chamber geometry maps and ECG fragmentation maps. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms may also be displayed in real time on the System's display screen. The CARTO® 3 V2.0 System is also intended to support EP procedures, maintaining CARTO® System capabilities, in the presence of a high metallic environment and magnetic field strengths up to 0.1 T and provide a data communication channel to the Stereotaxis Niobe® Catheter Navigation System. The CARTO® 3 V2.0 System includes CARTOMERGE® Plus functionality to import, register and merge CT or MRI structural images with CARTO® map's physiological information and real time catheter navigation. The system includes the Fast Anatomical Mapping (FAM) functionality that allows for the quick creation of cardiac anatomical volumes using catheters with magnetic location sensors. The system's CARTOSOUND™ image integration functionality enables integration of intracardiac echo (ICE) to enable visualization of 3D combined maps. In addition to the use of specialized navigation catheters with magnetic location sensors, the system is also intended for use with conventional, non-navigational, electrophysiology catheters without magnetic location sensors.

## Device Story

CARTO 3 V2.0 is a cardiac mapping system for real-time 3D anatomical and electroanatomical heart mapping. Inputs include intracardiac electrograms (IECG) and body surface ECG signals via specialized magnetic-sensor catheters or conventional non-navigational catheters. System utilizes magnetic sensor technology and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology to track catheter position. Features include CARTOMERGE Plus for CT/MRI image registration, Fast Anatomical Mapping (FAM) for rapid volume creation, and CARTOSOUND for intracardiac echo (ICE) integration. System displays maps (activation, propagation, potential, impedance, geometry, fragmentation) and real-time signals on a screen for physician use during EP procedures. Provides data communication to Stereotaxis Niobe system. Used in clinical settings to guide cardiac interventions by visualizing electrical activity and anatomy, potentially improving procedural accuracy and patient outcomes.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench and animal testing to verify modified features and demonstrate that new functionality does not negatively impact existing performance.

## Technological Characteristics

Cardiac mapping system using magnetic sensor technology and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL). Supports integration of CT/MRI images and intracardiac echo (ICE). Connectivity includes data communication channel to Stereotaxis Niobe system. Operates in magnetic field strengths up to 0.1 T. Compatible with both magnetic-sensor navigation catheters and conventional non-navigational catheters.

## Regulatory Identification

A programmable diagnostic computer is a device that can be programmed to compute various physiologic or blood flow parameters based on the output from one or more electrodes, transducers, or measuring devices; this device includes any associated commercially supplied programs.

## 15.3 Description of Device

The CARTO® 3 V2.0 EP Navigation System is a catheter-based atrial and ventricular mapping system designed to acquire and analyze data points, and use this information to display 3D anatomical and electroanatomical maps of the human heart in realitime. The location information needed to create the cardiac maps and the local elector mans are acquired using a specialized mapping catheter and reference device. The system allows real-time display of electrograms and cardiac maps based on the received intra cardiac signals from the catheters in a number of different formats. The acquired patient signals, including body surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms (IECG) may also be displayed on the display screen. The CARTO® 3 V2.0 System uses two distinct your of location technology - magnetic sensor technology and Advanced Catheter Location (ACL) technology.
