Intended Use

The Medline ReNewal Reprocessed Biosense Webster SOUNDSTAR eco Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheters 8F, 8FG, 10F, 10FG are indicated for intra-cardiac and intra-luminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart. When used with compatible CARTO 3 EP Navigation Systems, the SOUNDSTAR eco Catheter provides location information.

Technology

The catheter consists of a CARTO connector, SwiftLink (ultrasound) connector, handle and shaft. It includes a 64-element ultrasound transducer for 2D imaging and a 3D location sensor, providing location information to compatible CARTO 3 Electrophysiology Navigation Systems. Deflection and tension knobs allow articulation of the distal tip and control image plane orientation with four-directional deflection.

Performance

The device underwent non-clinical functional performance testing including simulated use, visual inspection, mechanical tests, ultrasound transducer testing, dimensional analysis, localization, device functionality, electrical safety, cleaning validation, biocompatibility, sterilization validation, packaging and shelf-life tests. These demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
