## Indications for Use

The fixed PadTac electrophysiology mapping and recording catheters and PadTac cables are used for recording intracardiac electrogram (EGM) and for cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiology studies. The catheters will be used in the high right atrium, right ventricular apex and HIS bundle (recording only). The cables and box connect the catheter to the recording system.

## Device Story

PadTac system consists of fixed electrophysiology (EP) catheters (5-8 Fr, 4-14 pole), junction box cable connectors, and cables. Catheters are inserted into the heart to record intracardiac electrograms (EGM) and provide cardiac stimulation during diagnostic EP studies. Used in high right atrium, right ventricular apex, and HIS bundle. Cables and junction box serve as passive interface between catheter and external recording system. Operated by clinicians in a clinical setting. Device facilitates cardiac mapping and stimulation to assist in diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Safety and effectiveness demonstrated via compliance with FDA guidance for electrode recording catheters and UL 2601 (IEC 60601-1) standards for medical equipment.

## Technological Characteristics

Fixed EP catheters (5-8 Fr, 4-14 pole); passive electrical connectivity; cables and junction box interface. Electrical safety per UL 2601 (IEC 60601-1).

## Regulatory Identification

An electrode recording catheter or an electrode recording probe is a device used to detect an intracardiac electrocardiogram, or to detect cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunts. The device may be unipolar or multipolar for electrocardiogram detection, or may be a platinum-tipped catheter which senses the presence of a special indicator for cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunt determinations.

IBI 1000 Electrophysiology Catheter System K946333

- Device Description The PadTac Electrophysiology catheters are between 5 and 8 french (fr), 4, 10, 12 and 14 pole, fixed, monitoring and recording.
The multi-electrode electrophysiology catheters are used for electrophysiology electrocardiograph recording and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic procedures. The cables and box serve as an extension between the catheter and the pin block.

#### B. Device Intended Use

The fixed PadTac electrophysiology mapping and recording catheters and PadTac cables are used for recording intracardiac electrogram (EGM) and for cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiology studies. The catheters will be used in the high right atrium, right ventricular apex and HIS bundle (recording only). The cables and box connect the catheter to the recording system.

Dear Ms. Duncan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 registration, 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 - Ms. Madalyn Duncan

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
