The Peel-Away Introducers are intended to provide a transvenous conduit for the introduction of cardiac leads and catheters into the venous vascular system.
The Peel-Away introducers provide cardiovascular leads and catheters access to the venous vascular system for cardiac surgery procedures. Peel-Away Introducer sheaths haft. The sheath is the outer component and the dilator fits inside the sheath with the distal end protruding out. A needle, which is connected to the syringe, is used to gain access to the vessel. After blood flow is established, the syringe is removed and a quidewire is inserted through the needle and advanced into the vessel. The assembled sheath/dilator combination is advanced over the guidewire into the vessel. At the proximal end of the sheath is a t-handle hub, which is designed to splitand facilitate the peeling action of the sheath tubing is designed to peel continuously and symmetrically for safe removal of the introducer while maintaining venous access.
This FDA 510(k) summary for the Abbott Medical "Peel-Away Introducer" does not contain the detailed information necessary to answer your questions about acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets those criteria, as typically found in submissions for AI/ML devices.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Seal Away CS Introducer Kit, K013029) for a traditional medical device (catheter introducer). The "Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions" section is very brief and only mentions:
- "The addition of the Exel syringe and modification of the packaging, biocompatibility, and sterilization testing."
- "Completion of all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the syringe meets its predetermined design and performance specifications, and that the peel-away introducer with the new syringe accessory is substantially equivalent to the predicate device."
This type of submission for a conventional device typically relies on design verification and validation testing to ergonomic, material, and functional specifications, rather than a performance study against specific acceptance criteria for a diagnostic or AI/ML device.
Therefore, I cannot provide the specific tables and details you requested. The document does not describe the following aspects which are crucial for AI/ML device evaluations:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc.)
- Sample size used for a test set or data provenance.
- Number of experts or their qualifications for ground truth establishment.
- Adjudication method for a test set.
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
- Standalone (algorithm-only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data).
- Sample size for a training set.
- How ground truth for a training set was established.
This device is a physical medical instrument (a introducer for catheters), not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or prognostic tool. Hence, the regulatory submission and the underlying data would not involve AI-specific evaluation methodologies.

Dear Chidalu Mozie:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
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 https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Peel Away Introducer kits, with the new replacement syringe accessory, have the following similarities to the predicate devices (Seal Away introducer kits) which previously received 510(k) clearance (K013029):
- · have the same underlying intended use,
- · have the same fundamental scientific technology,
- · are sterilized using the same processes.
ln summary, the Peel Away Introducer products described in this submission are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The new syringe accessory has the same technological characteristics as the syringe accessory in the currently marketed Peel-Away Introducer kits, with only minimal changes to the syringe material to ensure compliance with current regulatoryrequirements and standards.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
The addition of the Exel syringe and modification of the packaging, biocompatibility, and sterilization testing. Completion of all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the syringe meets its predetermined design and performance specifications, and that the peel-away introducer with the new syringe accessory is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
