Data includes: ECG waveforms, heart rate, pulse oximetry (SpO-), respiration rate, valve gradients and areas, cardiac output, hemodynamic measurements, invasive and noninvasive blood pressure, procedural information, and optional intracardiac electrocardiogram (IECG). Applicable to pediatric/adult patients requiring cardiac/circulatory system catheterization Intended for use in catheterization and related cardiovascular specialty labs

## Device Story

MAC-LAB System is a programmable diagnostic computer for cardiac catheterization labs; operates under physician supervision. Inputs include ECG waveforms, heart rate, pulse oximetry, respiration rate, hemodynamic measurements, and intracardiac electrocardiogram (IECG) signals via TRAM modules in a Remote Acquisition Unit (RAU). System processes, displays, trends, stores, and prints cardiovascular data; supports transmission to networked hospital information systems. Provides real-time monitoring and calculations (e.g., valve gradients, cardiac output) to assist clinicians in procedural decision-making during catheterization. Benefits include integrated data management and visualization of physiological parameters during cardiac interventions.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness were established through requirements specification review, code inspections, software and hardware testing, safety testing, environmental testing, and final validation.

## Technological Characteristics

System includes Remote Acquisition Unit (RAU) with TRAM modules, computer processors, high-resolution display monitors, power supply, thermal printer, and keyboard. Uses electronic amplifiers for signal processing. Connectivity includes networking to hospital information systems. Software-based diagnostic computer.

## 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.

Dear Ms. Fouts:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual reqistration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act
