RADII DIAGNOSTIC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY CATHETER, MODEL # 30411 B, C AND D

{0}------------------------------------------------ CARDIAC PATHWAYS CORPORATION Premarket Notification # 510(k) SUMMARY #### Indications The Radii Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheter is intended to be used to record intracardiac electrogram (EGM) signals and to deliver pacing pulses for the purpose of diagnostic provocative stimulation during an electrophysiology procedure. Radii Diagnostic Electrophysiolog Catheter ### Device Description The Radii Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheter is a 7 F steerable, deflectable, quadrapolar catheter. It has a 4 mm tip electrode and three 1 mm ring electrodes in the flexible distal tip and a handle at the proximal end. The catheter is available in several curve sizes, two shaft stiffnesses, and two electrode spacings. Figure 1, depicts the basic configuration of the catheter. Image /page/0/Figure/7 description: The image shows a diagram of a medical instrument, possibly an endoscope or catheter, with a handle and a long, flexible tube. The tube is bent at a 90-degree angle, and a measurement of "120 cm" is indicated near the bend, suggesting the length of the curved section. The instrument appears to be designed for insertion into the body, with the flexible tube allowing it to navigate through internal passages. Figure 1: Radii Catheter The four electrodes at the distal end of the catheter include one 4 mm electrode at the distal tip, and three 1 mm ring electrodes placed at specified distances proximal to the tip electrode. One interelectrode spacing configuration is 2 mm, 5 mm, and 2 mm (2,5,2) and the other interelectrode spacing configuration is 2 mm, 2 mm, and 2 mm (2,2,2). Each of the electrodes is attached to a conductor that extends from the electrode to a specific pin in the connector in the handle. Image /page/0/Figure/10 description: The image shows a diagram of a cylindrical object with several labeled dimensions. There are three shaded regions along the cylinder, each separated by a distance. The dimensions provided are 1mm, 2mm, 4mm, and 5mm. Figure 2: Distal Tip: 2,5,2 interelectrode spacing configuration {1}------------------------------------------------ The shaft has two lumens, one for the electrode wires and the other for the pull-wire. To facilitate the transmission of rotational force, the shaft includes braiding sandwiched between layers of tubing. At the proximal end of the handle (i.e., farthest from the shaft), there is a connector for connecting the device to an external stimulator and electrophysiologic recorder. The knob utilized to deflect the tip is on the distal end of the handle (i.e., nearest to the shaft). This knob is connected to the tip by the pull-wire. Pulling the knob toward the connector causes the tip to deflect, with the extent of deflection controlled by the extent of movement of the knob. Pushing the knob toward the shaft causes the tip to straighten. Rotating the handle to the right rotates the catheter tip counterclockwise or clockwise, respectively (as viewed from the handle). Figure 3 depicts the movement of the catheter tip in three-dimensional space. Image /page/1/Figure/6 description: This image shows a 3D coordinate system with the X, Y, and Z axes labeled. A curve is shown in the Z direction, labeled as a catheter tip, and it is noted that it goes from 0 to 270 degrees. The rotation is shown in the Y direction, and it is noted that it goes from 0 to 360 degrees. Figure 3: Radii Tip Movement in Three Dimensional Space ## Cables The Radii Catheter connects to an electrophysiologic recorder using an EGM Cable designed specifically for the connector configuration on the recorder. Each cable has a connector on one end that mates to the connector on the Radii Catheter and a connector on the other end that mates to the recorder. Within the insulated cable bundle, each conductor is insulated. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Figure/2 description: The image shows three different cable models with their specifications. The first cable is the Model 2001 EGM Cable, which is 96 inches long with a tolerance of plus or minus 4 inches and has a 6-pin plug on each end. The second cable is the Model 2028 EGM Cable, which is 36 inches long with a tolerance of plus or minus 4 inches and also has a 6-pin plug on each end. The third cable has a 6-pin plug on one end and a DIN 42802 protected socket on the other end, with a length of 96 inches plus or minus 4 inches to the start of the socket, then 5 inches plus or minus 1 inch to the start of the pins, and finally 1.52 inches to the end of the pins. Image /page/2/Figure/3 description: The image shows the text "Model 2002 EGM Cable". The text is written in a simple, sans-serif font and is horizontally aligned. The text appears to be a label or identifier for a product, possibly a cable. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Figure/2 description: The image shows a technical drawing of a cable assembly. The cable has a 6-pin plug on one end and four DIN 42802 protected sockets on the other end. The cable is 36 inches long, plus or minus 4 inches. The length from the split to the sockets is 5 inches, plus or minus 1 inch, and the length of the socket is 1.52 inches. #### Model 2029 EGM Cable Figure 4: EGM Cables A separate cable is utilized for connecting the Radii Catheter to an external stimulator. Like the EGM Cables, this cable has a connector on one end that mates to the connector on the Radii Catheter and a connector on the other end that mates to the stimulator. Each conductor within the insulated cable bundle is insulated. Because many pacing stimulators do not contain protected-pin attachments (these are designed into the Cardiac Pathways cable), a Pin Adaptor is provided with the cable to allow for a variety of connection situations. This pin adaptor is also pictured below. Pacing Stimulator Cable Image /page/3/Figure/7 description: The image shows a diagram of a cable with connectors on both ends. On the left side, there are two protected pin connectors. The cable has a total length of 12 1/2 feet and on the right side, there is a quick disconnect circular connector. Image /page/3/Figure/8 description: The image shows the text "Model 2039 Pacing Stimulator Cable". The text is in a sans-serif font and is black. The background is white. The text is centered in the image. Pin Adaptor (approximately 1 1/8 inch long) Image /page/3/Figure/10 description: The image is a technical drawing of a cylindrical object. The object appears to be composed of several sections with varying diameters. Dashed lines within the drawing indicate internal features or hidden edges of the object. Figure 5: Pacing Stimulator Cable {4}------------------------------------------------ ### Predicate Devices The Radii Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheter is substantially equivalent to the Polaris–Dx™ Steerable Diagnostic Catheter and the EPT–Dx™ manufactured by EP Technologies, and Diagnostic/Ablation Large & Grooved Dome Delectable Catheters manufactured by Webster Laboratories. ## Performance Data The Radii Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheter, the EGM Cables, and the Pacing Stimulator Cable were subjected to a battery of electrical and mechanical tests to verify that the devices met the specifications. Electrical testing included, but was not limited to. assessment for continuity and short circuits, DC impedance, AC impedance, capacitance, and dielectric strength and current leakage. The device met the specifications. Mechanical testing included, but was not limited to, assessment of joint strengths and the ability to withstand multiple deflections. The device met the specifications. Biocompatibility testing was performed to verify that the devices did not elicit toxicological responses. {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The logo features a stylized image of an eagle with three human profiles incorporated into its design. The text "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES - USA" is arranged in a circular pattern around the eagle.
