The GuardWire Plus System is a sterile, single-use disposable device.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary regarding the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The 510(k) summary for the PercuSurge GuardWire Plus Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System primarily establishes substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than defining new, specific acceptance criteria for performance metrics in a standalone study. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met by demonstrating comparable safety and efficacy to the predicate device.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence)Reported Device Performance (from SAFER Study (K003992))
Safety and Efficacy in Coronary Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts (2.5-5.0mm) for:- Containment and aspiration of embolic material- Subselective infusion/delivery of agentsReference Vessels Diameter < 3mm (N=111 patients) (Sub-group of SAFER study data for predicate device's smaller vessel range (K003992)):- MACE: 8.1% (9/111)- Death: 0.0% (0/111)- Myocardial Infarction (Q wave or non-Q wave): 8.1% (9/111)- Emergent CABG: 0.0% (0/111)- Target Lesion Revascularization: 1.8% (2/111)- Target Vessel Revascularization not involving the Target Lesion: 0.9% (1/111)
Performance equivalent to the predicate device (GuardWire 3-6 Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System) in materials, manufacturing, and performance."The performance of both systems, the 2.5-5.0 and the 3-6, has been assessed using similar bench test methods and under in-vitro simulated use conditions and determined to be equivalent."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Description: The "clinical performance data" presented is a summary of results from a sub-group analysis of the SAFER study (IDE G980209, cleared under 510(k) K003992). This study was conducted on the predicate device, the GuardWire 3-6 Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System, and the data is used to support the equivalence of the new device (GuardWire Plus 2.5-5.0mm) for smaller vessel sizes.
  • Sample Size:
    • Total GuardWire patients in SAFER study: N=406
    • Total vessels treated: N=417
    • Total lesions treated: N=442
    • Lesions sized at 3.0mm or less: 113 lesions
    • Patients with Reference Vessel Diameter (RVD) < 3mm: N = 111 patients (used for the efficacy analysis presented in Table 2)
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. However, IDE studies approved by the FDA are typically multi-center clinical trials conducted primarily within the United States. The data is retrospective in the sense that this 510(k) is using previously collected data from an already-cleared device's clinical trial (SAFER study) to support the new device.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

The 510(k) summary does not provide information on the number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the SAFER study data, nor does it specify their qualifications. Clinical trial endpoints like MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Events) are typically adjudicated by clinical Event Adjudication Committees composed of qualified medical professionals, but this detail is not present in the provided text.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The 510(k) summary does not specify the adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) used for the SAFER study's clinical endpoints.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission is for a medical device (catheter system), not an AI algorithm or a diagnostic imaging device that would typically involve MRMC studies. The "effectiveness" is shown through clinical outcomes of the device itself.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

No, a standalone study (in the context of an algorithm's performance) was not done. This device is a physical medical instrument (catheter system) and its performance is inherently linked to human use in a medical procedure.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the SAFER study data (used to support this 510(k)) is based on clinical outcomes data related to patients undergoing the cardiac procedures, specifically:

  • Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE): Death, Myocardial Infarction (MI), Emergent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR), and Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR). These are hard clinical endpoints observed in patients.
  • Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA): Used to determine Reference Vessel Diameter (RVD). QCA measurements are typically performed by trained experts, though it's not explicitly stated if consensus methods were used.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The concept of a "training set" is not directly applicable here. This 510(k) is for a device, not an AI algorithm. The closest equivalent would be the development and testing phases of the device, which would involve bench testing and in-vitro simulated use, but not a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The clinical data presented is for the predicate device's performance, not for training this specific device, but rather for demonstrating its equivalence.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As there is no "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm, this question is not applicable. The device's design and manufacturing are based on established engineering principles and internal testing (bench testing, in-vitro simulated use) to ensure performance specifications are met.

Description

The PercuSurge GuardWire Plus Temporary Occlusion & Aspiration System provides temporary vascular occlusion during diagnostic and interventional procedures in the coronary vasculature, specifically-diseased coronary bypass grafts. It is comprised of four principal components: the GuardWire Temporary Occlusion Catheter, the MicroSeal Adapter, the EZ Flator Inflation Device and the Export Aspiration Catheter.

The GuardWire Plus System is a sterile, single-use disposable device, packaged in a protective polyethylene tray covered by a polyethylene/Tyvek pouch. The pouch is then placed into a chipboard carton for protection during shipment. Both the pouch and the carton are labeled for easy product recognition.

The GuardWire Plus System is available in the following configurations:

CatalogNumberWireDiameterWireLengthBalloonRange
G14-5-200US0.014"200cm2.5 - 5.0mm
G14-5-300US0.014"300cm2.5 - 5.0mm

Table 1: GuardWire Plus Configurations

The GuardWire Plus Temporary Occlusion Catheter is a 0.014" diameter guidewire available in lengths of 200 and 300 centimeters. The industry standard 0.014" diameter of this device allows for the delivery of a wide range of diagnostic and interventional devices over its shaft. The shaft is coated to limit the frictional forces encountered when passing therapy devices over the wire. The distal end of the GuardWire contains an inflatable elastomeric balloon designed to occlude the target vessel during emboli-causing procedures such as stenting or angioplasty. The balloon is fully compliant and exerts less than two atmospheres of pressure on the target vessel during occlusion. The distal tip of the wire is a shapeable radiopaque coil similar to other standard guidewires.

The GuardWire is used in conjunction with a removable adapter that assists in the inflation and deflation of the distal occlusion balloon. The MicroSeal Adapter provides a means for opening and closing the internal MicroSeal of the GuardWire which is a small valve internal to the GuardWire Plus Temporary Occlusion Catheter. When the MicroSeal Adapter is in the "OPEN" position, the GuardWire internal seal is opened. This establishes fluid access to the occlusion balloon through the hollow GuardWire shaft. When the MicroSeal Adapter is in the "CLOSE MICROSEAL" position, the MicroSeal of the GuardWire closes. This discontinues fluid access to the occlusion balloon. This allows the occlusion balloon of the GuardWire to remain inflated in the absence of direct communication with an inflation device.

GuardWire Plus catheter

The proximal end of the GuardWire Plus catheter is able to control the flow of contrast fluid when used in conjunction with the MicroSeal Adapter. This is achieved by means of a micro-seal plug located on the proximal end of the GuardWire Plus catheter. The MicroSeal plug consists of a wire that is formed to provide friction in the hypo-tube with a sealing member on the distal end. The plug is pushed in and out, hence the sealing member moves distal and proximal to the inflation port, via the MicroSeal Adapter pads that grip the wire plug and are moved in conjunction with the Adapter knob. An inflation port is positioned on the hypotube to line up with the inflation port on the Adapter to provide a continuous fluid path to inflate the occlusion balloon. Fluid is transferred from the EZ Flator to the Adapter through the hypo-tube to fill the occlusion balloon. Fluid. i.e., diluted contrast, passes through the distal end and into the elastomeric occlusion balloon via the laser coil.

EZ Flator Inflation Device

The EZ Flator is a controlled volume syringe system contained in a single housing that enables the exact amount of diluted contrast to fill the occlusion balloon to the appropriate size. The fluid is pushed through the extension tubing via a steel plunger pin that is controlled by the inflation dial. Once the hypo-tube is prepped and the pin is pushed past the distal o-ring, a seal is formed in the extension line. The volume of the plunger pin in the inflation syringe barrel distal to the distal o-ring equates to the volume of the balloon. Therefore, inflation of the balloon is achieved by turning the dial, which pushes the plunger pin forward, to the appropriate volume indicated on the dial pad.

The deflation syringe barrel is used for prepping the hypo-tube and deflating the occlusion balloon. A handle is attached to the plunger to provide a vacuum to the deflation syringe barrel. The deflation syringe barrel is used only when the inflation dial is in the "0" position, i.e., when the plunger pin is positioned proximal to the distal o-ring, as shown below, thereby opening the fluid path. In the drawing below the housing and plunger handle are not shown.

Export Aspiration catheter

The Export Aspiration catheter is a dual lumen catheter. The smaller of the lumens is the wire lumen used to run over the GuardWire. The size of the wire lumen is sized so that the Export catheter may run over the GuardWire smoothly. The larger sized lumen is the aspiration lumen. Via the 20cc syringe and one-way stopcock attached to the proximal end of the Export, blood and debris is evacuated from the graft and into the syringe.

MicroSeal Adapter

The MicroSeal Adapter provides the mechanism to move the plug on the GuardWire catheter. Six grip pads are located on the Adapter, three on the upper half and three on the lower. Three wire clips are found on the lower half and are used for holding the wire firmly between the pads. The proximal pads are movable via the Adapter knob. The other four pads are immovable and are used to hold in place the GuardWire distal to the plug. Once the wire is placed in the Adapter and the knob is moved to the open position, the proximal pads slide, opening the plug. Diluted contrast flows through the Adapter via the inflation port. This port is sealed when the Adapter is closed and is lined up with the inflation port on the GuardWire when placed in the Adapter.

Statement of Indications for Use

The PercuSurge GuardWire Plus Temporary Occlusion & Aspiration System is indicated for use in the coronary saphenous vein bypass grafts (2.5-5.0mm) to.

  • · Contain and aspirate embolic material (thrombus/debris) while performing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or stenting procedures.
