Intended Use

These catheters are for use on patients requiring gastrointestinal manometry testing. The Esophageal Pressure Catheter Model number GIM-6000E is for use with esophageal motility studies. The Ano-Rectal Pressure Catheter Model number GIM-6000A is for use in ano-rectal pressure studies.

Device Description

Gastrointestinal pressure catheters with pressure-sensing membrane cavities along the length of the catheter and a port for balloon inflation for the Anorectal model. This product is non-sterile, single patient use catheter. The system includes reusable cables with reusable pressure transducers.

AI/ML Overview

This appears to be a 510(k) premarket notification summary for the Latitude GI Pressure Catheters, not a comprehensive clinical study report. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding detailed acceptance criteria, specific study designs, sample sizes, and expert adjudication will likely not be present. However, I will extract what can be found and explicitly state what is not provided.

Here's an analysis of the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in a table format. However, it implicitly states that "Effectiveness is the same as the predicate devices." and that "The laboratory testing verified the performance in terms of sensor accuracy, mechanical integrity, and overall performance."

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
EffectivenessEquivalent to predicate devices"Effectiveness is the same as the predicate devices."
Sensor AccuracyVerified through lab testing"verified the performance in terms of sensor accuracy"
Mechanical IntegrityVerified through lab testing"verified the performance in terms of... mechanical integrity"
Overall PerformanceVerified through lab testing"verified the performance in terms of... overall performance"
BiocompatibilitySafe for intended application"Biocompatibility testing shows that the materials used in the Latitude Pressure Catheters are safe for this application."

Observation: The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing specific numerical performance targets.

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

The document states "laboratory testing" was conducted, but it does not provide any details on:

  • The sample size used for any test set (e.g., number of catheters, number of measurements).
  • Data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

This information is not provided. The "laboratory testing" would typically involve technical experts, but their number and qualifications are not mentioned. Since this is a physical device, ground truth wouldn't typically be established by human experts in the same way as with an imaging AI model.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided. Given the nature of "laboratory testing" for a physical medical device, human adjudication a medical sense (like 2+1 reading) is not applicable. The testing would be against established calibration standards or engineering specifications.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done or at least not reported in this summary. This type of study is typically used for diagnostic imaging AI systems where human readers interpret cases with and without AI assistance. This document describes a physical pressure catheter, not an AI system that assists human interpretation.

6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop)

Yes, the "laboratory testing" implicitly represents a standalone performance evaluation of the device. The device itself (the catheter and its associated pressure transducers) is the "algorithm" in this context, and its performance was "verified" in a lab setting, meaning without real-time human clinical intervention beyond operating the test equipment. However, it's crucial to understand this isn't an AI "algorithm" in the modern sense.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

For the laboratory testing, the ground truth would have been established by:

  • Engineering Standards / Calibration Reference: For sensor accuracy, the device's readings would be compared against a known, highly accurate pressure reference source.
  • Mechanical Specifications: For mechanical integrity, the device would be subjected to tests (e.g., tensile strength, fatigue, material composition) to ensure it meets predetermined engineering specifications for physical properties and durability.
  • Biocompatibility Standards: For biocompatibility, tests would be conducted according to ISO or other relevant standards, comparing cellular responses or material characteristics against established safety profiles.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This concept is not applicable as this is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.

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

This concept is not applicable for the same reason as above.


Summary of what's provided for acceptance criteria and study:

The document serves as a 510(k) summary demonstrating substantial equivalence. It states that laboratory testing was performed to verify sensor accuracy, mechanical integrity, and overall performance, and that biocompatibility testing was done. The overarching acceptance criterion is that the device's performance (effectiveness and safety) is "the same as the predicate devices." No quantitative performance metrics, specific study designs, sample sizes, or details about the ground truth establishment for these specific tests are provided beyond a general statement of verification.

Common/Usual Name:Gastrointestinal Pressure Catheter
Classification Name:System, Gastrointestinal Motility (Electrical)

The legally marketed devices to which equivalence is claimed are the Konigsberg Esophageal Solid State Catheter and the Medtronic Zinetics AMS Anorectal Catheter.

Description of the device: Gastrointestinal pressure catheters with pressure-sensing membrane cavities along the length of the catheter and a port for balloon inflation for the Anorectal model. This product is non-sterile, single patient use catheter. The system includes reusable cables with reusable pressure transducers.

Intended use: This catheter is for use on patients requiring esophageal and ano-rectal pressure monitoring.

The Latitude Pressure Catheters are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices because:

  • . they have the same intended uses, namely, esophageal and ano-rectal pressure measurement, and
  • they have the same basic technological characteristics as predicate devices, namely, pressure sensors located along the length of the catheter,
  • . markings for catheter insertion,
  • port and lumen for Anorectal balloon inflation, and .
  • external zeroing of pressure.

They use the same or similar materials, all of which have been shown to be biocompatible and to function well in the intended application.

The safety and effectiveness are similar to existing devices as demonstrated in the laboratory testing. Biocompatibility testing shows that the materials used in the Latitude Pressure Catheters are safe for this application. Effectiveness is the same as the
