Intended Use

The TRUFILL® DCS Detachable Coil is indicated for embolizing certain intracranial aneurysms that, because of their morphology, location, or the patient's general medical condition, are considered by the treating neurosurgical team to be:

  1. very high-risk for management by traditional operative techniques
  2. inoperable

and for embolizing other vascular malformations such as arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulae of the neurovasculature.

The TRUFILL® DCS Detachable Coil is also intended for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.

The TRUFILL® DCS Syringe is indicated for use with the TRUFILL® family of Detachable Coils.

Device Description

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the requested information, assuming the provided text relates to a medical device approval and not an AI-driven diagnostic or treatment tool. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a TRUFILL DCS ORBIT™ Detachable Coil System. Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study described will pertain to the safety and effectiveness of this physical device, not an AI's performance.

Based on the provided text, there is no information related to an AI/Machine Learning device or its performance criteria, studies, or ground truth establishment. The document is a standard FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a physical medical device (detachable coil system) and its indications for use.

Therefore, many of the specific questions regarding AI performance criteria, test sets, ground truth, experts, and MRMC studies are not applicable to this document. The information that can be extracted relates to the device itself and the regulatory process.

Re-interpretation of "Acceptance Criteria" for a Physical Medical Device 510(k):

For a 510(k) clearance, the "acceptance criteria" are not reported as specific performance metrics in the same way an AI algorithm's accuracy would be. Instead, acceptance criteria are generally met by demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously legally marketed predicate device. This involves showing that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate. This demonstration typically relies on bench testing, biocompatibility testing, sterilization validation, and potentially limited clinical data, all compared against established standards and the predicate's performance.

Based on the provided document, here's what can be inferred and what aspects are not present:


1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Acceptance Criteria (Implicit for 510(k) Submission):
    • Demonstrate substantial equivalence in intended use, technological characteristics, and performance to a predicate device.
    • Safety and effectiveness comparable to the predicate.
    • Compliance with relevant performance standards and regulations (e.g., biocompatibility, sterility, mechanical integrity).
  • Reported Device Performance:
    • The document states that the FDA "determined the device is substantially equivalent... to legally marketed predicate devices." This is the ultimate "reported performance" from a regulatory standpoint—it meets the criteria for market clearance.
    • Specific quantitative performance metrics (e.g., rates of successful embolization, complication rates) are NOT detailed in this letter. These would typically be found in the actual 510(k) submission, including summaries of non-clinical and, if applicable, clinical testing.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Not explicitly stated in this document. For a 510(k), test sets would likely include:
    • Bench Testing: Often involves hundreds or thousands of cycles for mechanical durability, often dozens of samples for burst pressure, tensile strength, etc. The sample size depends on the specific test and statistical justification.
    • Biocompatibility Testing: Typically uses a small number of samples, following ISO 10993 guidelines.
    • Limited Clinical Data (if any): While not always required for 510(k), if clinical data were submitted, the sample size would vary.
  • Data Provenance: Not stated. For a 510(k), data provenance would typically be from the manufacturer's internal testing labs, contract research organizations (CROs), or possibly clinical sites (if clinical data was part of the submission).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • N/A (Not Applicable to this type of device and document). Ground truth, in the context of an AI device, implies an independent, verified determination that the AI is trying to predict. For a medical device like an embolization coil, the "ground truth" for its safety and effectiveness is established through validated scientific and engineering tests, and potentially clinical outcomes, rather than expert consensus on an interpretation task like with AI.
  • Experts involved would be those conducting the bench tests (engineers, materials scientists) and potentially clinicians for any clinical studies (neurointerventionalists, neurosurgeons). Their qualifications would be expertise in their respective fields, but they wouldn't be "establishing ground truth" for an AI.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • N/A (Not Applicable). Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are common in clinical trials or for establishing ground truth from expert readings (e.g., for AI training/testing data). This document does not describe such a process for the coil system's testing. Testing for a physical device typically follows pre-defined protocols and acceptance limits without "adjudication" in this sense.

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

  • N/A (Not Applicable). This document refers to a physical embolization device, not an AI system that assists human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study and effects of AI assistance are irrelevant to this FDA clearance.

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

  • N/A (Not Applicable). This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • N/A (Not Applicable in the AI sense). For a physical device, "ground truth" for safety and effectiveness is established by:
    • Bench Testing Standards: e.g., device integrity under stress, embolization effectiveness in a simulated vessel model.
    • Biocompatibility Data: Demonstrating non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity.
    • Sterilization Validation: Proving the device is sterile.
    • Clinical Outcomes Data (if applicable for 510(k), or more extensively for PMA): Patient outcomes (e.g., aneurysm occlusion rates, complication rates, long-term stability) would be the ultimate "ground truth" for effectiveness and safety. However, the 510(k) pathway often relies heavily on non-clinical data and comparison to a predicate, not always requiring extensive new clinical trials.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • N/A (Not Applicable). This device is not an AI algorithm, so there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • N/A (Not Applicable). As there's no AI, there's no training set or ground truth in this context.

In summary: The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a physical medical device, the TRUFILL DCS ORBIT™ Detachable Coil System. It confirms the device's substantial equivalence to a predicate, allowing it to be marketed. The concepts of AI acceptance criteria, training/test sets, ground truth, experts for AI evaluation, and MRMC studies are not relevant to this document.

§ 882.5950 Neurovascular embolization device.

(a)
Identification. A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e).
