Intended Use
The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter is intended for intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart.
Device Story
The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ is a single-use, disposable, steerable intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheter. It features a phased-array ultrasonic imaging transducer at the distal tip. The catheter is 9 Fr (2.97 mm) in diameter with an insertable length of 90-110 cm. It provides bi-directional and quad-directional steering via a push/pull handle mechanism and rotating knob. The device connects to a GE Vivid i Diagnostic Ultrasound System using a reusable GE Connector Cable. Used in clinical settings, the catheter allows physicians to visualize cardiac anatomy, physiology, and other interventional devices within the heart. The ultrasound images are displayed on the GE system, assisting the clinician in real-time procedural guidance and decision-making during cardiac interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device was validated in compliance with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, ISO 10993 (biological evaluation), and various IEC/EN safety standards for medical electrical equipment. No clinical study data was provided.
Technological Characteristics
Phased-array ultrasonic imaging transducer; 9 Fr diameter; 90-110 cm length; bi-directional/quad-directional steering mechanism. Materials evaluated per ISO 10993-1. Sterilization via Ethylene Oxide (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135). Connectivity via GE Connector Cable to GE Vivid i Ultrasound System. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, and ISO 10555-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac anatomy, physiology, and other devices in the heart. No specific age or gender restrictions provided.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.

### Device Description :
The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter is comprised of a single-use, disposable ultrasonic phased-array imaging transducer. A Inquiry ClearICE catheter is steerable: catheter, 9 Fr (2.97 mm) in diameter, 90 cm to 110 cm insertable length and available in various curve configuration.
The distal portion of the catheter can be deflected in four directions in two orthogonal planes: left-right (in a plane perpendicular to imaging plane) and anterior-posterior (in a plane coincident with the image plane). Bi-directional steering controlled by push/pull

handle mechanism and quad-directional steering controlled by a push/pull mechanism and rotating knob.
The non-sterile, reusable GE Connector Cable is use to connect IBI InquiryTM ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter to the GE Vivid i Ultrasound system. The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter is used with commercially available GE Connector Cable and Vivid- i Diagnostic Ultrasound System.
The IBI Inquiry™ ClearICE™ Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter is comprised of three major components: (1) the catheter itself; (2) the steering mechanism; and (3) the reusable GE Connector Cable & GE Vivi i Ultrasound System.

Dear Mr. Patel:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket 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, Drug, 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 registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following transducers intended for use with the IBI Inquiry" ClearICE" Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter, as decriaed in your premarket notification:
Transducer Model Number - Inquiry - ClearICE™
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.
