## Indications for Use
The Reprocessed Livewire Steerable Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheter can be used in the evaluation of a variety of cardiac arrhythmias from endocardial and intravascular sites.
## Device Story
Flexible electrode catheter; polyurethane shaft; platinum electrodes; steerable tip manipulated via proximal control. Used by physicians in clinical electrophysiology settings for cardiac arrhythmia evaluation. Device captures electrical signals from endocardial/intravascular sites; signals transmitted to external recording equipment for physician analysis. Output assists in diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. Reprocessed device; undergoes cleaning, decontamination, inspection, and functional testing to ensure performance equivalent to original device. Single-use reprocessing limit; tracked via marking system.
## Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included biocompatibility, cleaning validation, sterilization validation, functional testing (visual, dimensional, electrical continuity/resistance, simulated use, mechanical characteristics), and electrical safety (dielectric and current leakage).
## Technological Characteristics
Polyurethane insulation/shaft; platinum electrodes. Steerable tip mechanism. Dimensions vary by model (French size 5F-7F; length 95-115cm). Connectivity: wired to external recording equipment. Sterilization: validated process. No software/algorithm.
## 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.

{5}------------------------------------------------
# Indications for Use:
The Reprocessed Livewire Steerable Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheter can be used in the evaluation of a variety of cardiac arrhythmias from endocardial and intravascular sites.
# Technological Characteristics:
The purpose, design, materials, function, and intended use of the Reprocessed Livewire Steerable Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Catheters are identical to the predicate devices. There are no changes to the claims, clinical applications, patient population, performance specifications, or method of operation. In addition, Innovative Health's reprocessing of these devices includes removal of visible soil and decontamination. Each device is inspected and function tested prior to packaging and labeling.
# Functional and Safety Testing:
Bench and laboratory testing was conducted to demonstrate performance (safety and effectiveness) of the Reprocessed Livewire Steerable Diagnostic EP Catheter. This included the following:
- Biocompatibility ●
- Cleaning Validation .
- Sterilization Validation ●
- Functional Testing ●
- . Visual Inspection
- Dimensional Verification .
- Electrical Continuity and Resistance .
- Simulated Use .
- Mechanical Characteristics
- Electrical Safety Testing
- . Dielectric and Current Leakage
- Packaging Validation ●
The Reprocessed Livewire Steerable Diagnostic EP Catheters are reprocessed no more than one (1) time. Each device is marked and tracked. After the device has reached the maximum number of reprocessing cycles, the device is rejected from further reprocessing. Reprocessing is performed only by Innovative Health. Innovative Health restricts its reprocessing to exclude devices previously reprocessed by other reprocessors.
# Conclusion:
Innovative Health concludes that the Reprocessed Livewire Steerable Diagnostic EP Catheters are as safe and effective as the predicate devices described herein.
