Intended Use

The Guidezilla II Guide Extension Catheter is intended to be used in conjunction with guide catheters to access discrete regions of the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature, and to facilitate placement of interventional devices.

Device Description

The Boston Scientific Guidezilla™ II and Guidezilla™ II LONG Guide Extension Catheters act as extensions to traditional guide catheters. The Guidezilla II Guide Extension Catheter enters through the parent guide catheter and extends an additional 15 cm out the distal end of the parent guide catheter, providing physicians with additional support to advance interventional devices into the vasculature. The Guidezilla II Guide Extension Catheter consists of a proximal stainless steel hypotube, which includes a handle used for device identification, and a distal guide catheter segment (25 cm or 40 cm) through which interventional devices may be delivered. The proximal hypotube is connected to the distal guide catheter segment by a small collar. The collar is made of radiopaque platinum iridium material that provides support and a smooth transition from the offset hypotube to the distal guide catheter segment. The distal quide catheter segment incorporates one radiopaque marker band located 2 mm from the distal tip of the device. The radiopaque collar and marker band aid in positioning the device during the procedure. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal 20 cm of the device.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Guidezilla™ II and Guidezilla™ II LONG Guide Extension Catheters. It describes the device, its intended use, and a comparison to a predicate device. However, it does not describe an AI/ML-driven device or study that provides acceptance criteria and performance metrics for such a device. The document details performance testing for a physical medical device (catheter) to establish substantial equivalence to a predicate device, as required for FDA clearance.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance, or ground truth details) because the document does not pertain to an AI/ML device study.

The document indicates:

  • Clinical Testing: "Clinical evaluation was not required for this device." This further confirms that no study of the type requested (MRMC, standalone AI performance, etc.) was conducted or is applicable here.
  • Performance Data: The performance data section lists various device performance tests (e.g., Corrosion Resistance, Deliverability, Radiopacity), package performance tests (e.g., Pouch Seal Strength, Sterile Barrier Integrity), and biocompatibility tests (e.g., Cytotoxicity, Sensitization). These are physical and biological tests of the catheter itself, not evaluations of an AI algorithm.
  • Ground Truth: The concept of "ground truth" as it relates to expert consensus or pathology for an AI model is not relevant to this document. The "truth" for this device is its physical and biological performance against established engineering and medical device standards.
  • Sample Size: Sample sizes are not explicitly mentioned for these physical/biological tests, but they would refer to the number of catheters tested, not patient data.

Dear Ms. Wahlberg:

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. 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 may be subject 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in

{1}------------------------------------------------

the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ResourcesforYou/Industry/default.htm. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
