Device Description

Medtronic® 7F and 8F Launcher Biopsy Guide Catheter
The Medtronic® Launcher Biopsy Guide Catheters are constructed with a braided proximal shaft with an inner liner a secondary segment (8F only), primary segment, a sleeve and a soft distal tip. The inner lumen of the catheter has a thin lubricious coating.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Medtronic 7F and 8F Launcher Biopsy Guide Catheter. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than presenting a study with specific acceptance criteria and detailed device performance metrics in the way one might find for, say, an AI-powered diagnostic device.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing your points as much as possible given the nature of the submission:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For this type of medical device (guide catheter), the "acceptance criteria" are not reported as numerical performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity. Instead, they relate to meeting safety and efficacy standards and demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-existing, legally marketed devices. The "performance" is implicitly demonstrated by meeting these standards and showing that the new device shares fundamental characteristics with its predicates.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Technological Characteristics: Substantial equivalence in materials, components, design, packaging, and sterilization to predicate devices."The Medtronic 7F and 8F Launcher Biopsy Guide Catheters are identical to the Medtronic 7F and 8F Launcher Guide Catheters regarding materials, components, design, packaging and sterilization."
Indications for Use: Equivalence to predicate devices."The indications for use are identical to the Medtronic SHERPA II (commercialized as Vector) regarding the percutaneous introduction of biopsy forceps and the Medtronic Launcher Guide Catheters regarding coronary and peripheral access. They are all indicated to provide a pathway through which therapeutic devices are introduced."
Biocompatibility: Meet appropriate biocompatibility standards."All appropriate biocompatibility tests were successfully performed on the materials used for the Medtronic Launcher Biopsy Guide Catheter."
Performance Standards/Specifications: Meet all applicable standards and specifications for intended use."Results of testing verified that the Medtronic Launcher Biopsy Guide Catheters meet all applicable standards and specifications and are deemed adequate for the intended use."
Substantial Equivalence: Deemed substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.The device was deemed "substantially equivalent" to: - 7F Launcher Guide Catheter (K022764) - 8F Launcher Guide Catheter (K023402) - SHERPA, SHERPA II (commercialized as Vector) and ASCENT biopsy Guide Catheters (K944668)

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

This document does not describe a clinical "test set" in the context of diagnostic device performance. The testing mentioned ("biocompatibility tests" and "testing verified that... meet all applicable standards") refers to engineering and bench testing, likely involving material samples or prototypes, not patient data in the typical sense of a diagnostic algorithm. Therefore, no specific sample size for a "test set" or data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) is applicable or provided.

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

As there is no clinical "test set" with ground truth to be established in this submission, this information is not applicable and not provided.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Again, given the nature of a 510(k) for a guide catheter, adjudication methods for a test set are not applicable or provided.

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

No MRMC study was done or mentioned. This type of study is typically relevant for diagnostic imaging devices where human interpretation is involved, often with AI assistance. This submission is for a physical medical device (catheter), not a diagnostic algorithm.

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

No standalone algorithm performance study was done or mentioned. This device is a physical tool for medical procedures, not a software algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The concept of "ground truth" (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data) as typically used in AI/diagnostic device evaluation does not apply to this submission. The "ground truth" in this context is adherence to engineering specifications, material safety standards, and functional equivalence to predicate devices, verified through physical and chemical testing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

There is no "training set" mentioned or applicable to this type of device submission. Training sets are used for machine learning algorithms, which are not relevant here.

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

Since there is no "training set," this information is not applicable.

Dear Mr. Boucher:

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.
