THE NEOMETRICS VASCUPUNCTURE ACCESS WIRE IS IN DICATED FOR PERCUTANEOUS VASCULAR ENTRY USING THE SELDINGER TECHNIQUE,

Device Description

This guidewire has a 0.0175" diameter and is available in lengths of 45-120 cm. It features gradual diameter changes in the distal section to facilitate vascular insertion and compatibility with various introducers and catheters. A variety of distal tapers impart different tip flexibilities.

AI/ML Overview

This request requires the extraction of very specific information about acceptance criteria and study design, which is not present in the provided text. The document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (guidewire) and primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on detailed performance studies or specific acceptance criteria with reported device performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or detailed study information. The text explicitly states: "NeoMetrics Access Wires and predicate devices were subjected to bench and biocompatibility testing to demonstrate equivalency in terms of safety and effectiveness." However, it does not provide:

  • A table of acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum tensile strength, maximum friction) or reported device performance against those criteria.
  • Details about the sample size for any test set, data provenance, or number/qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth.
  • Information on adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, type of ground truth, or training set specifics (as these are typically relevant for AI/software-based devices, not a physical guidewire).

The provided text focuses on the regulatory submission process and the determination of substantial equivalence for a physical medical device.

Vascupuncture™ Access Wire Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1330 Regulation Name: Catheter Guide Wire Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: DQX Dated: November 28, 2001 Received: November 29, 2001

Dear Mr. Champeau:

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.

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. Page 2 - Mr. gene Champeau

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
