The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire consists of a jacketed core wire with a hydrophilic coating applied to the jacket. The wire will be offered in straight and angled configurations in various lengths.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire), focusing on its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The information available pertains to the device's technical characteristics, intended use, and the performance tests conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

However, the document does not contain specific details regarding acceptance criteria in a quantitative table format with reported device performance against those criteria. It states that "all test results were comparable to the predicate devices and all predetermined acceptance criteria for tests were successful."

Furthermore, the document does not provide information relevant to AI/ML device studies, such as:

Sample size used for the test set or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
Adjudication method for the test set.
Whether a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or effect size of human improvement with AI.
Standalone (algorithm-only) performance.
Type of ground truth used (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data).
Sample size for the training set.
How ground truth for the training set was established.

This is expected as the document appears to be a traditional medical device submission for a guide wire, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or assistive device.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the comprehensive acceptance criteria and study details related to AI/ML device performance from the provided text. The device is a "Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire" and the studies described are traditional lab-based performance and safety tests, not clinical studies involving AI.

Merit Medical Systems, Inc. Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire Special Premarket Notification 510(k)

The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire consists of a jacketed core wire with a Device Description hydrophilic coating applied to the jacket. The wire will be offered in straight and angled configurations in various lengths. Technological characteristics of the subject Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate, the Merit Comparison Hydrophilic Guide Wire [K120644]. The differences between the devices to Predicate relates to the guide wire diameter size. The guide wire design remains unchanged. Predicate device #2 [K863138] Terumo Radiofocus® Glidewire® is the predicate for performance testing parameters. No performance standards have been established under section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for these devices. A battery of testing was conducted in accordance with protocols based on requirements outlined in guidance's and industry standards and these were shown to meet the acceptance criteria that were determined to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Where appropriate, the tests were based on the requirements of the following documents: FDA guidance Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guide Wire . Guidance January 1995. . ISO 11070: 1998, Sterile Single-Use Intravascular Catheter Introducers. ISO 11135-1: 2007 Sterilization of health care products-Ethylene . oxide- Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. ASTM F1980-07 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile . Safety & Barrier Systems for Medical Devices Performance ISO 10993-1: 2009, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part . Tests 1: Evaluation and Testing within a risk management process, and the FDA Modified ISO 10993 Test Profile FDA Memo G95-1. The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire was compared to the predicate device for various attributes that support substantial equivalence of the device. The differences in wire diameter between the modified device and the cleared device [K120644] has raised no new issues. Performance testing was based on Predicate device #2 [K863138] Terumo Radiofocus® Glidewire® . The following is a list of all the significant tests evaluated: Tensile Strength, Torque Strength, Torquability, Tip Flexibility, Coating Adherence/Integrity (including Evaluation using Anatomical Model), Catheter Compatibility (Durability), Surface, Fracture Test, Flex test, Size Designation/ Dimensions, Particulate Testing. As all test results were comparable to the predicate devices and all predetermined acceptance criteria for tests were successful this has demonstrated the subject device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
