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. ## Predicate Devices - IBI 1100 Electrophysiology Catheter System ([K961924](/device/K961924.md)) - IBI 1000 Electrophysiology Catheter System ([K946333](/device/K946333.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

K961924 | 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. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVQALENCE TESTING SUMMARY lll. The TZ Medical PadTac EP Catheters have been tested and are considered safe and effective per "Electrode Recording Catheter Preliminary Guidance", Mark Massi, Pacing and Electrophysiology Device Branch, Division of Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Neurological Devices, Office of Device Evaluation FDA,CDRH, 1995. The TZ medical PadTac cables have been tested and are considered safe and effective per "Standard for Medical Equipment; Part 1: General Requirements, UL 2601 (IEC 60601-1). {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
