Intended Use

The Peripheral Cutting Balloon™ catheters are indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty of obstructive lesions of synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.

Device Description

The Peripheral Cutting Balloon (PCB) is available in nominal balloon diameters of 5.0 mm to 8.0 mm (Table 1). The device features a non-compliant balloon with four Atherotomes (microsurgical blades) mounted longitudinally on its outer surface. The proximal end of the balloon is equipped with a stainless folding spring to enhance balloon refold. The spring consists of a collar, proximal to the balloon cone; and four fingers that extend across the balloon cone and terminate before the pads that hold the atherolomes to the surface of the balloon. The catheter body has two lumens. The outer lumen is the balloon inflation lumen. The inner lumen is used to pass the catheter over a guidewire. Radiopaque markers are placed on the guidewire tubing at the ends of the atherotomes to provide visual reference points for balloon positioning within the vessel.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the Boston Scientific Peripheral Cutting Balloon. It includes information on performance testing (bench and biocompatibility) and a clinical study (Cutting EDGE trial). However, the information provided focuses on the substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than specific acceptance criteria thresholds the device had to meet. The study's primary purpose was to compare the Peripheral Cutting Balloon to conventional angioplasty, not to prove the device met predetermined acceptance criteria against a specific numerical benchmark.

Therefore, I cannot populate all the requested fields as the document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for the device's performance in the way a traditional validation study might. Instead, it presents comparative efficacy and safety data against a control group (conventional angioplasty) and references general guidelines (KDOQI) for expected patency rates.

However, I can extract information related to the clinical study and its findings.

Here's the information based on the provided text, with "N/A" for criteria not explicitly stated:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Stated or Implied)Reported Device Performance (Peripheral Cutting Balloon - PCB)
Primary Patency (6 months)47.9% PCB vs. 40.5% PTA (p=0.37)
For stenosed grafts51.3% PCB vs. 46.9% PTA (p=0.84)
For thrombosed grafts43.1% PCB vs. 32.0% PTA (p=0.15)
Procedural SuccessNot significantly different from PTA (p=0.24)
Hemodialysis Access Circuit Patency (6 months)Not significantly different from PTA (p=0.45)
Mean Number of Target Lesion Reinterventions (6 months)Not significantly different from PTA (p=0.22)
For thrombosed grafts0.7 PCB vs. 1.0 PTA (marginally significant, p=0.06)
Device-Related Adverse Events (Dissections)1.7% (3/173) PCB vs. 0% PTA
Device-Related Adverse Events (Perforations)2.9% (5/173) PCB vs. 0% PTA
Overall Safety and EffectivenessNot significantly different from conventional angioplasty

Notes on Acceptance Criteria:

  • The document implies that "not significantly different from conventional angioplasty in overall safety and effectiveness" was a key criterion for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
  • For patency rates, the document references KDOQI guidelines as benchmarks for "achievable" or "typical" rates, suggesting these were considered relevant for comparison. For example, for stenosed grafts, KDOQI suggests ~50% at 6 months, and the PCB achieved 51.3%. For thrombosed grafts, KDOQI suggests ~40% at 3 months and 20% at 6 months; the PCB's 43.1% at 6 months was noted as "more than double the expected rate."
  • For complication rates, the document compares the PCB's perforation rate (2.9%) to literature-based expected rates of 2% to 4%, indicating that falling within this range was acceptable.

Study Details

  1. Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: 340 patients (173 in Peripheral Cutting Balloon arm, 167 in PTA arm).
    • Data Provenance: The study was a "prospectively randomized clinical trial," and data was collected from "27 centers in the US."
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated for specific ground truth establishment.
    • Qualifications of Experts: An "Adverse events were adjudicated by a CEC" (Clinical Events Committee), and a "DSMB reviewed safety information throughout the enrollment portion of the study." Specific qualifications of CEC or DSMB members are not detailed.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • "Adverse events were adjudicated by a CEC" (Clinical Events Committee). The specific method (e.g., 2+1) is not provided.
  4. 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:

    • This was a clinical trial comparing a device (Peripheral Cutting Balloon) to another medical intervention (conventional angioplasty - PTA), not an MRMC study involving human readers or AI. So, N/A.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • This information pertains to an AI/algorithm. This device is a physical medical device. So, N/A.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The study used outcomes data, specifically "primary patency through 6 months post-procedure," "access circuit primary patency," "procedural success," "number of target lesion reinterventions," and "occurrence of adverse events."
    • Adverse events were "adjudicated by a CEC."
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • This document describes a clinical trial for substantial equivalence, not a machine learning study. Therefore, there's no "training set" in the context of an algorithm. So, N/A.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • As there is no training set for an algorithm, this question is N/A.

Intended Use

The Peripheral Cutting Balloon catheters are recommended for Percutancous Transluminal Angioplasty of obstructive lesions in synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.

Substantial Equivalence

The Peripheral Cutting Balloon catheters will incorporate a substantially equivalent design, fundamental technology and intended use as those featured in predicate devices.

Performance Testing

Bench testing and biocompatibility testing were performed to support a determination of substantial cquivalence. The results of these tests provide reasonable assurance that the proposed device has been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its intended use.

Clinical Experience

The 1 cm Peripheral Cutting Balloon™ was studied in a prospectively randomized clinical trial, Cutting EDGE (CUTTING Balloon HEmoDialysis Access ManaGEment Trial) that compared the Peripheral Cutting Balloon to conventional angioplasty (PTA) in the treatment of stenosed or thrombosed synthetic hemodialysis grafts. The study enrolled 340 patients, 173 in the Peripheral Cutting Balloon arm and 167 in the PTA arm at 27 centers in the US. The primary endpoint was primary patency through 6 months post-procedure. Secondary efficacy endpoints included: access circuit primary patency; procedural success; and the number of target lesion reinterventions through 6 months. Secondary endpoints also included safety: occurrence of adverse events. Adverse events were adjudicated by a CEC; a DSMB reviewed safety information throughout the enrollment portion of the study.

The Peripheral Cutting Balloon is not signficantly different from PTA with respect to the rate of target lesion primary patency through 6 months post-proccdure: 47.9% pcs vs. 40.5% PTA.D=0.37.

The target lesion primary patency rates for subjects with stenosed grafts were not significantly different: 51.3% Kir vs. 46.9% PTA . p = 0.84. The national Kidney Foundation; Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative for Vascular Access (KDOQI) suggests achievable primary patency rates in this group of patients to be about 50% at 6 months.

The PCB target lesion primary patency for thrombosed grafts was greater but not significant: 43.1% PCB vs. 32.0% PTA, p = 0.15. KDOQI guidelines suggest that 40% patency is typical at 3 months; the Quality Improvement Guidelines for Percutancous Management of the Thrombosed or Dysfunctional Dialysis Access suggest that 20% patency is typical at 6 months. The target lesion primary patency rate for subjects

{5}------------------------------------------------

treated with the Peripheral Cutting Balloon was more than double the expected rate, suggesting a clinical benefit.

Sccondary efficacy endpoints did not differ significantly between treatments: procedural success, p = 0.24; hemodialysis access circuit patency at 6-months, p = 0.45; mean number of target lesion reinterventions through 6 months, n = 0.22. Subjects with thrombosed grafts had fewer target lesion interventions after treatment with the Peripheral Cutting Balloon; the difference between means is marginally significant: 0.7 pcu vs. 1.0 pra, p = 0.06.

Device-related events, limited to dissections and perforations, were significantly more frequent in the Peripheral Cutting Balloon arm: 1.7% (3/173) dissections and 2.9% (5/173) perforations after use of the Peripheral Cutting Balloon vs. no events in the PTA arm (p = 0.007). When the dissection and perforation rates are considered independently, rather than pooled, the rates are not significantly different. Two of the cases (one perforation and one dissection) are protocol deviations because the Peripheral Cutting Balloon was oversized beyond the limits specified in the Directions for Use. The Quality Improvement Guidelines for Percutaneous Management of the Thrombosed or Dysfunctional Dialysis Access, updated in 2003, summarizes published complication rates. Based on the literature, the expected rate of vascular perforations or ruptures from the perculaneous management of hemodialysis is 2% to 4%. The Peripheral Cutting Balloon perforation rate of 2.9% falls within this expected range.

Only PTA balloons were used for reinterventions; 213 reinterventions were recorded during the trial. Among these reintervention procedures, there were two procedurerelated vessel ruptures and two device-related perforations. Although no vessel perforations or ruptures occurred with PTA at the index procedure, these expected events did occur during reinterventions.

In summary, the Peripheral Cutting Balloon™ is not significantly different from conventional angioplasty in overall safety and effectiveness.

Conclusion

The Peripheral Cutting Balloon catheter has been shown to be Substantially Equivalent to the predicate devices.
