Device Description

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but based on the provided text, I cannot provide details on the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria. The document describes a 510(k) submission for a medical device (Gelbfish Flex Vascular Dilator) and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

The provided text focuses on:

  • Device Identification: Proprietary and generic names, classification, product code, and intended use.
  • Predicate Device: Identification of the predicate device.
  • Comparison to Predicate Device: Highlights two differences: the shaft material (polyurethane vs. stainless steel) and the bonding method for the tip (medical grade adhesive vs. laser welding).
  • Conclusion: States that the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and has no additional safety issues, based on physical properties, performance characteristics, and intended use.
  • FDA Communication: The FDA's letter granting substantial equivalence based on the submitted information.

There is no information in the provided text regarding:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria or reported device performance.
  2. Sample sizes used for test sets or data provenance.
  3. Number of experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth.
  4. Adjudication methods.
  5. Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
  6. Standalone algorithm performance.
  7. The type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

This type of information is typically detailed in the full 510(k) submission, specifically in sections related to performance testing and clinical data, which are not included in this summary. The current text primarily addresses the regulatory path for a modified device claiming substantial equivalence to an existing one.

11.5 Predicate Device

510(k) Number:K012256
Proprietary Name:Gelbfish Vascular Dilators
Generic Name:Dilator, Vessel, For Percuteneous Catheterization
Classification:Class II
Relevant Section:870.1310
Product Code:DRE
Intended Use:These devices are intended to be used over a guidewire todilate or calibrate blood vessels.

11.6 Comparison to Predicate Device

    1. The original 510(k) on these dilators limited the shaft material to stainless steel. The modified device has a polyurethane shaft.
    1. The original device uses laser welding to bond the tip to the shaft. The modified device will use a medical grade adhesive to bond the tip to the shaft.

11.7 Conclusion

Comparison of the original device with the modified device for physical properties, performance characteristics and intended use, indicate that these devices are substantially equivalent and that there are no additional safety issues.

Dear Mr. Raible:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA), You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898, In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
