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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission, as it describes non-clinical testing rather than a patient-based test set with specific data samples.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the animal study. The other tests are bench tests performed within the manufacturer's testing environment. All testing appears to be "retrospective" in the sense that it's performed on manufactured devices/components for regulatory submission, rather than prospective clinical trials.

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

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable. The ground truth for these non-clinical tests is established by engineering specifications, regulatory standards (like FDA guidance for acoustic output, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility), and observed physical/biological responses in animal models. No human experts are explicitly mentioned as establishing a "ground truth" for interpretation in the same way they would for reading images.
  • Qualifications of Experts: N/A as per the above.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable. The testing described does not involve human interpretation or subjective assessment that would require an adjudication method. The outcome of these tests is determined by objective measurements against predefined standards.

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

  • MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission focuses on hardware safety and performance in a non-clinical setting, not on the diagnostic accuracy with human readers.
  • Effect Size of Human Readers Improve with AI vs without AI: Not applicable, as no MRMC study or AI component is described.

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

  • Standalone Study: Not applicable. This device is an imaging catheter; it does not contain an AI algorithm that would have a standalone performance. The "performance" described is the functionality of the physical device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" in this context refers to the verifiable correctness or compliance with established standards for device performance and safety:

  • Bench Testing: Engineering specifications, design tolerances, and functional requirements.
  • Acoustic Output Testing: FDA Guidance values (FDA Track 1 limits).
  • Animal Testing: Physiological and imaging observations in an animal model, judged against expected normal and pathological states to determine the device's functional and imaging characteristics, consistent with its intended use.
  • Biological Safety Testing: ISO 10993 standards and recognized methods for bioburden, endotoxin, and sterility assurance.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This document describes a medical device (catheter) and its non-clinical testing, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

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

  • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI algorithm described in this submission.

Description of the Device:

The Atlantis™ PV Imaging Catheter consists of two main assemblies:

  • an over-the-wire (OTW) exchange style sheath assembly .
  • . an imaging core assembly

The sheath is comprised of the following three sections:

  • . Radiopaque soft tip
  • Proximal dual lumen .
  • Telescoping section ●

The radiopaque soft tip and proximal dual lumen sections comprise the "working length" of the catheter, and the telescoping section remains outside of the introducer sheath. The telescoping section allows the imaging core to be advanced and retracted within 25 cm of linear movement.

The imaging core is composed of a hi-torque flexible, rotating drive cable with a radially looking 15 MHz ultrasonic transducer at the distal tip. An electromechanical connector interface at the proximal end makes the connection to the MotorDrive Unit (MDU) / Instrument. The MDU-Catheter interface consists of an integrated mechanical drive hub and electrical connection.

A flush port with a one-way valve is used to displace air near the transducer. The catheter must be flushed with heparinized saline prior to use, as this provides the acoustic coupling media required for ultrasonic imaging. The one-way valve helps retain saline in the catheter during use.

The catheter sheath is attached to the telescope shaft via a male/female luer connection. The catheter is for use with the BSS ClearView Ultra™ and Galaxy™ IVUS Imaging Systems.

Intended Use/Indications:

The Atlantis™ PV Imaging Catheter is intended for ultrasound examination of peripheral pathology only. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures.
