Indications for Use The intended use of the CARTO® 3 System is catheter-based cardiac electrophysiological (EP) procedures. The CARTO® 3 System provides information about the electrical activity of the heart and about catheter location during the procedure. The system can be used on patients who are eligible for a conventional electrophysiological procedure. The system has no specific contraindications.
Clinical Benefits Multiple studies from the published literature show that ablation procedures guided by CARTO® Systems resulted in similar acute and long-term efficacy and complication rates as procedures guided UG-5400-0072H (02A)

ABOUT THE CARTO® 3 SYSTEM
by conventional fluoroscopic procedures, but with significantly lower fluoroscopy time and dose, compared to conventional fluoroscopy.
Potential Adverse Events A number of serious adverse reactions have been documented for catheter ablation procedures including pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiac tamponade, and death. The following complications were also noted to have occurred during the study or have been reported in the literature: •
Catheterization/catheter procedure related: Vascular bleeding/local hematomas, thrombosis, AV fistula, pseudoaneurysm, thromboembolism and vasovagal reactions, cardiac perforation, tamponade, thrombi, air embolism, arrhythmias and valvular damage, pneumothorax and hemothorax.

System Foundations The CARTO® 3 System is based on the following three foundations: ECG
The ECG subsystem supports receiving Body Surface ECG signals and Intracardiac (IC) Electrogram channels. It samples, filters, presents, and records ECG signals. In addition, it passes the ECG signals through to the recording system.
Location
The CARTO® 3 System includes two location technologies:
Mapping
•
CARTO® Magnetic Location Technology, supplying locations based on electromagnetic fields generated by the location pad and measured by Biosense Webster catheters that have embedded magnetic sensors.
•
Advanced Catheter Location (ACL), supplying location data from each electrode connected to the system. The location is calculated based on the signals received from six patches attached to the patient. The variation in tissue conductivity is calibrated using magnetic location technology that is not influenced by human conductivity.
The mapping technology is used to build maps of the heart chambers, for display in the Main Map Viewer. These maps are built by combining the accurate location data and ECG data. The system enables the following mapping methods: •
Electroanatomical (EA) mapping
•
Fast anatomical mapping, using FAM (Fast Anatomical Mapping) technology
•
Ultrasound catheter mapping
Maps can also be combined. For example, EA points can be added to a reconstruction created from ultrasound contours. EA points can also be

projected onto a FAM reconstruction. Their anatomical data can be added to the reconstruction. Each study can have 35 maps, with a total of 100,000 points per study. A map can have up to 25,000 points. If the CARTO PRIME™ Module is installed,1 this increases to 300,000 points per study, with 50,000 points per map. See also: •

System Components The main components of the CARTO® 3 System are: •
The Patient Interface Unit (PIU) and related equipment, including the Location Pad (LP) The PIU is stationed near the patient. The LP is positioned under the patient table.
•
The workstation and related equipment The workstation is typically stationed in the observation room.
Electrophysiological catheters are connected to the CARTO® 3 System PIU by means of appropriate cables. Biosense Webster Catheters with embedded ID are recognized automatically by the System. Other catheters can be defined by the user. For a list of EP equipment that complements use of the system, see Table 1: "EP Equipment to Complement Use of the CARTO® 3 System (Not Supplied with the System)".

ABOUT THE CARTO® 3 SYSTEM
NOTE Devices not specified as compatible with the CARTO® 3 System must not be connected to the System.
Consult your Biosense Webster representative regarding the availability of compatible devices in your country. See also: •
System Hardware
Initial Installation Only personnel who are qualified by Biosense Webster may install the CARTO® 3 System. No one but personnel qualified by Biosense Webster should open the sealed boxes or packages containing the system components.
Typical Setup The PIU can be placed in one of the following locations: •
Fixed to a holder on the patient table
•
Fixed on a shelf near the patient table
•
Mounted on an IEC 60601-certified cart, which can be moved in the operating room as required
The Location Pad is attached to the underside of the patient table in its own holder. The Patch Unit is placed on or near the patient table. The Workstation is located in the operating room or in an adjacent observation room. The Workstation is placed on a table or a dedicated cart. (Avoid placement on the floor.) A repeater monitor can be set up in the operating room, next to the patient table, so that the attending physician can view all that is displayed on the CARTO® 3 System monitor. Cables should be placed inside cable ducts, where possible. See also: •
