| Common Name: | Catheter, Steerable catheter |
| Model Number: | DS3H010-38 |
| Product Code: | DQY, DRA |
| Classification: | Class II - 21 CFR 870.1250<br>Percutaneous catheter |
| Indications for Use: | The Agilis HisPro <sup>™</sup> Steerable Catheter With Electrodes is indicated<br>to provide a pathway for delivery and support of transvenous<br>devices within the chambers and vasculature of the heart and can be<br>used for electrogram recording and stimulation. |
| Device Description: | The Agilis HisPro Steerable Catheter With Electrodes is a<br>deflectable, slittable catheter with two distal tip electrodes. It serves<br>as a delivery conduit for devices such as cardiac leads. |
| | The distal portion can be formed into a "U" shape, when fully<br>deflected, to facilitate positioning of the tip at a desired location in<br>the heart. The 10.5 Fr catheter has a braided shaft with a multi-<br>durometer outer Pebax jacket. The catheter has a 7 Fr diameter<br>lumen that allows for delivery of a 6Fr cardiovascular transvenous<br>device, including a 6Fr pacing lead. |
{4}------------------------------------------------
## 510(k) SUMMARY
| | The Agilis HisPro catheter's proximal handle consists of a rotating actuator with passive locking mechanism for deflecting the distal portion, a hemostasis valve for leak-proof delivery, and an integrated cable incorporating a 4-pin electrical connection for connecting to external electrical systems via a commercially available electrophysiology cable. The tip electrodes provide the ability to sense intracardiac electrogram (EGM) and pace when connected to the Merlin™ Pacing System Analyzer (PSA) or the WorkMate Claris™ Recording System. The sensing and pacing feature of the Agilis HisPro catheter provides the ability to identify the desired location in the heart. |
|-------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | Accessories packaged for use with the Agilis HisPro catheter include dilator, guidewire for vascular access, cable adaptor pins for connection to the Merlin PSA via the electrophysiology cable, valve bypass tools for lead insertion, three-way stopcock and slitter. The catheter and the packaged accessories are provided as a sterile single-use device. |
| Predicate Devices: | Primary: Medtronic SelectSite™ Model C304<br>510(k) Number: K033989<br>This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall. |
| | Secondary: Abbott CPS Luminary Bideflectable Catheter<br>510(k) Number: K052575<br>This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall.<br>No reference devices were used in this submission. |
| Comparison to<br>Predicate Devices: | The Agilis HisPro and the two predicate devices are all intended to serve as a conduit to allow delivery of transvenous devices to the heart. The Agilis HisPro Indications for Use is a combination of the primary predicate, Medtronic SelectSite C304 and secondary predicate, Abbott CPS Luminary Bideflectable Catheter. The primary function of the catheter to deliver a transvenous device into the heart is the same as both predicate devices. The expanded use statement of "electrogram recording and stimulation" is based on the CPS Luminary predicate device feature of tip electrodes, that allows for intracardiac signal detection via connection to external recording systems. The differences in indications do not alter the intended use of the device therefore the subject device intended use can be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. |
{5}------------------------------------------------
The Agilis HisPro and SelectSite C304 share similar design principles and many of the technological characteristics. Both devices are deflectable/steerable through rotating handle design that controls the distal curve to deflect uni-directionally. Like the SelectSite C304, the Agilis HisPro has radiopaque shaft and tips for visualization via fluoroscopy, and is designed with slittable hub and shaft for catheter removal following cardiac lead delivery. The Agilis HisPro also shares many key technological characteristics with the CPS Luminary predicate device. They are both designed with radiopaque shafts and tips, deflectable distal curves with rotating handles and integrated tip electrodes for intracardiac signal detection.
Some key differences exist between the Agilis HisPro and the two predicates devices. In comparison to the SelectSite, they differ in their tip design in which the Agilis HisPro incorporates dual tip electrodes enabling intracardiac stimulation and signal recording. In the case of the predicate SelectSite catheter, physicians utilize the delivered lead to sense and pace to evaluate sites for lead placement. The sensing/pacing feature of the Agilis HisPro gives physicians an option to enable localization of the intracardiac signals to evaluate pacing sites using the catheter to facilitate lead placement instead of the delivered lead. As mentioned above, the CPS Luminary predicate device shares a similar integrated tip electrode feature for intracardiac signal detection. Therefore, this electrode feature of the Agilis HisPro catheter does not introduce different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices. When compared against the CPS Luminary, the key difference is that the Agilis HisPro is slittable while CPS Luminary is not; however, slittability is a common feature in transvenous catheter design. Therefore, this difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Substantial Equivalence And Summary of Studies:
The Agilis HisPro Steerable Catheter with Electrodes is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on comparisons of the intended use, device functionality and technological characteristics. The following performance testing was performed to demonstrate the device meets its design specification and is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
