Intended Use

The Admiral™ .035 Dilatation Catheter is indicated for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the femoral, renal, iliac, popliteal, peroneal and profunda arteries and native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. It is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature or the neurovasculature.

Device Description

The Admiral™ .035 Dilatation Catheter is an Over-the-Wire, Coaxial, dual lumen design with a inflatable balloon on the distal end and compatible with 0.035" guidewires. Two radiopaque markers indicate the dilating portion of the balloon and aid in balloon placement. The device is available with balloon diameters of 7.0 - 10.0 mm, balloon lengths of 20, 30 & 40 mm and catheter lengths of 80 & 135 cm.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the Admiral™.035 Dilatation Catheter, a Peripheral Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Catheter. The document outlines performance testing conducted to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness, and for comparison to a predicate device.

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

The provided text does not specify sample sizes for specific performance tests (e.g., how many catheters were tested for burst strength, fatigue, etc.). It only states that "Performance testing was conducted." The data provenance is also not detailed regarding geographical origin or whether the tests were retrospective or prospective, though bench testing implies a controlled, prospective lab environment. However, the study is a bench study, meaning it was conducted in a laboratory setting using physical specimens of the device, not on human or animal subjects.

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

This information is not applicable to this type of device submission. This is a medical device, and the evaluation is based on engineering and materials performance, not on interpretation of medical images or patient data by human experts for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as there are no human interpretations or judgments to adjudicate in the described bench testing.

5. 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

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. This is a physical medical device (catheter), not an AI diagnostic or assistive technology for human readers.

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

No, this is not an algorithm or AI technology. It is a physical medical device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this type of device is established through:

  • Engineering specifications and standards: The device's physical properties are measured against established engineering requirements and industry norms for catheters.
  • Predicate device characteristics: The predicate device serves as a benchmark for comparison in terms of materials, design, dimensions, and intended use.
  • Biocompatibility standards: International and national standards for biological safety of medical devices are used as the ground truth for biocompatibility testing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable as this is not an AI or machine learning device requiring a training set.

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

This information is not applicable as this is not an AI or machine learning device requiring a training set.
