Intended Use

The intended use of the VPS Stylet and Console (VPS System) is to quickly and accurately guide market available central catheters to the desired location which is the lower third of the SVC or at the cavo-atrial junction.

Device Story

VPS G4 Console provides real-time guidance for central venous catheter tip placement. System inputs include electrical cardiac signals (ivECG) and blood flow data (Doppler ultrasound) via a polyimide stylet with a distal Doppler sensor and stainless steel ivECG wire. Console processes these signals to provide visual guidance via a touchscreen tablet display. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to navigate catheters to the lower third of the SVC or cavo-atrial junction. Output consists of colored icons and waveform data; a 'Blue Bullseye' indicates the catheter tip has reached the desired location. System assists clinicians in confirming tip placement without immediate reliance on fluoroscopy or chest X-ray, potentially reducing radiation exposure and procedure time.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including software verification and validation, and compliance with IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and IEC 60601-2-37 (ultrasonic diagnostic equipment safety).

Technological Characteristics

System comprises a console with tablet display and a polyimide stylet. Sensing utilizes a distal Doppler sensor and stainless steel ivECG wire. Connectivity is via extension cable to the console. Compliant with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-4, and IEC 60601-2-37. Software-driven data acquisition and processing.

Indications for Use

Indicated for guidance and tip positioning of central venous catheters in adult patients as an alternative to fluoroscopy or chest x-ray. Contraindicated/limited in patients with altered cardiac rhythms (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia, pacemaker-driven rhythm) or femoral/saphenous vein access, where P-wave presentation is altered; these patients require additional confirmation methods.

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.

They do not alter the<br>fundamental scientific technology of the device; they do not alter the method in<br>which physiological data is collected from the patient; they do not alter the<br>method in which physiological data is interpreted by the software algorithm to<br>determine the symbols used to indicate catheter migration through the<br>vasculature and final tip placement. Any differences between the subject VPS<br>G4 Console and the predicate VPS Console do not raise new issues of safety or<br>effectiveness. | | |

## Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known): __ K123813

## Vascular Positioning System (VPS™) G4 Console Device Name: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Indications For Use:

The VPS Stylet and Console are indicated for guidance and tip positioning for central The Console is intended for use with the stylet supplied by venous catheters. VasoNova. The Vascular Positioning System consists of a Console and associated power supply and cabling and a stylet. The VPS Console, when used with the VPS Stylet, provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's physiological (cardiac electrical activity and blood flow) information. When the Vascular Positioning System guidance indicator shows a Blue Bullseye, the catheter tip is in the desired location. The Vascular Positioning System is indicated for use as an alternative method to fluoroscopy or chest x-ray for central venous catheter tip placement confirmation in adult patients. NOTE: If a steady blue bull's eye is not obtained, standard hospital practice should be followed to confirm catheter tip location.

Limiting but not contraindicated situations for this technique are in patients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P-wave as in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia and pacemaker-driven rhythm, and in central venous catheterization procedures performed through femoral or saphenous vein access which change the presentation of the P-wave. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous catheter insertion, the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location.
