The Arrow arterial catheterization device permits access to the peripheral arterial circulation. The safety feature is intended to help minimize the risk of sharps injuries when using the device.
The proposed device is a sharps-protected version of the Arrow Radial Artery Catheterization Set. It contains a radial artery catheter-over-needle assembly with an integral, passive needle protection feature.
Based on the provided text, here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Device reliability | Performed |
| Clinical simulation | Performed |
| Deactivation force of safety feature | Performed |
| Safeguard interference fit | Performed |
| Tensile | Performed |
| Corrosion | Performed |
Note: The document states that these tests were "performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence," implying that the device met the requirements for each criterion to establish equivalence with predicate devices. However, specific quantitative acceptance thresholds or detailed performance results (e.g., exact deactivation force values, tensile strength measures) are not provided in the summary.
Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria:
The study refers to a set of "Performance Tests" conducted by Arrow International, Inc. These tests are listed as:
- Device reliability
- Clinical simulation
- Deactivation force of safety feature
- Safeguard interference fit
- Tensile
- Corrosion
The document does not provide the following information:
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): This information is not explicitly stated. The nature of the tests (e.g., "clinical simulation") suggests some form of testing, but details on the participants or data collection are absent.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience): Not applicable, as this device is a medical instrument (catheterization set) and not an AI/diagnostic tool requiring expert-established ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" here would pertain to the physical performance of the device against engineering and safety specifications.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable for the type of performance tests described. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical trials involving subjective assessments or diagnostic interpretations.
- If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This device is a medical instrument, not an AI diagnostic or assistance tool.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): The ground truth for this device would be engineering specifications, safety standards, and functional requirements for a radial artery catheterization set, including regulatory safety features for needle protection.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument and does not involve AI/machine learning models that require a training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

K021120 Radial Artery Catheterization Set with Integral Needle Protection Regulation Number: 870.1250 Regulation Name: Percutaneous catheter Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 74 DQY Dated: April 3, 2002 Received: April 8, 2002
Dear Ms. Peacock: .
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.
