Regulatory Information

Indications for Use

The CIRCA Temperature Monitoring System is composed of CIRCA Temperature Monitor and CIRCA S-CATH M Probe and is intended for the continuous detection, measurement and visualization (in °C) of esophageal temperature. The intended environments of use are operating rooms and interventional electrophysiology rooms. The CIRCA Monitor must be used in conjunction with the CIRCA S-CATH M Probe.

The role of esophageal temperature monitoring using this device in reducing the risk of cardiac ablation-related esophageal injury has not been established. The performance of the CIRCA Temperature Monitoring System in detecting esophageal temperature changes as a result of energy delivery during cardiac ablation procedures has not been evaluated.

Regulatory Clearances and Standards

FDA 510(k) Clearance

Footnotes

* Always make sure to have a primary and secondary imaging source available and retain the ability to verify probe location with fluoroscopy if needed.

** Location data obtained using the CIRCA S-CATH M Esophageal Temperature Probe does not delineate the full width of the esophagus, the actual location of the esophageal wall, the location of individual temperature sensors, or the actual (sinusoidal) shape of the probe. Location data solely delineates the centerline of the CIRCA S-CATH M Probe
