Intended Use

The AlboSure Polyester Vascular Patch is indicated for cardiac and vascular patch grafting. The fabric is recommended for use in patients requiring systemic heparinization prior to, or during, surgery.

Device Description

AlboSure Polyester Vascular Patch is a knitted polyester fabric, impregnated with bovine collagen and contains glycerol as softening agent.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the AlboSure™ Polyester Vascular Patch, which is a cardiovascular patch. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than elaborating on a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy—which would be typical for AI/ML-driven medical devices.

Therefore, the following information is not applicable or extractable from the provided text for this medical device, as it is a physical patch and not a software/AI device:

  • Acceptance criteria and reported device performance (in the context of AI/ML metrics): The document lists "Summary of Product Testing" with tests like Tensile Strength, Burst Strength, Wall Thickness, Suture Retention Strength, and Water Permeability. However, it does not provide specific acceptance criteria (i.e., numerical thresholds) or reported performance values for these tests. The conclusion only states "LeMaitre Vascular has demonstrated that the AlboSure Polyester Vascular Patch is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on its indications for use and fundamental scientific technology," implying these physical tests were satisfactory for equivalence.
  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable as there isn't a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML study. The product testing mentioned would involve material samples.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable.
  • Adjudication method: Not applicable.
  • If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: Not applicable.
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  • The type of ground truth used: Not applicable in the AI/ML sense. The "ground truth" for a physical device would be its objective physical and biological properties.
  • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The document primarily focuses on regulatory approval through substantial equivalence, which is a comparison to a legally marketed predicate device rather than an independent performance study against defined acceptance criteria (as would be typical for AI/ML submissions).

In summary, based on the provided text, the questions about acceptance criteria and study details (especially those pertaining to AI/ML device evaluation) cannot be answered because the device is a physical cardiovascular patch, and the submission is for substantial equivalence, not an AI/ML algorithm performance study.

Dear Mr. Zhang:

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 I varial controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it If your device to 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.
