Intended Use

The RF Tunneler Wire is intended to create a channel in totally occluded peripheral vessels 3 mm or greater.

Device Description

The RF Tunneler Wire consists of a core wire surrounded with a polymer insulation. The wire connects to a perforation generator at the proximal end via a connector cable, and has an active tip at the distal end to delivery RF energy.

The RF Tunneler Wire is designed to be compatible with most balloon and stent catheters approved for use in peripheral interventional procedures.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the Baylis RF Tunneler Wire, including its intended use, comparison to predicate devices, and some bench testing. However, it does not contain information about clinical studies, acceptance criteria, or specific performance metrics related to human or AI performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert involvement, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth establishment based on the provided text.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through design, function, and bench testing, rather than reporting on a clinical trial with specific performance outcomes against predefined acceptance criteria.

Device Description

The RF Tunneler Wire consists of a core wire surrounded with a polymer insulation. The wire connects to a perforation generator at the proximal end via a connector cable, and has an active tip at the distal end to delivery RF energy.

The RF Tunneler Wire is designed to be compatible with most balloon and stent catheters approved for use in peripheral interventional procedures.

Intended Use

The RF Tunneler Wire is intended to create a channel in totally occluded peripheral vessels 3 mm or greater.

Comparison to Predicate Devices

The RF Tunneler Wire is similar to the Baylis Medical RF Perforation Probe in design and function. The intended use of the RF Tunneler Wire is substantially equivalent to the Safe-Cross Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System and the CLiRpath Excimer Laser Catheter in intended use.

The RF Tunneler Wire and the predicate devices are all wires used in interventional procedures. Thev all focus energy at the active tip to create channels in target tissue.

Biocompatibility. Sterilization. Packaging, and Bench Testing

Biocompatibility of the materials used in the RF Tunneler Wire has been tested and confirmed to verify compliance with safety requirements. Sterilization of the RF Tunneler Wire has been validated. Packaging of the RF Tunneler Wire has been validated.

The RF Tunneler Wire has undergone mechanical and electrical bench testing to verify compliance with safety and performance requirements. These tests include comparing the RF Tunneler Wire to a predicate device.

Conclusion

Testing of the RF Tunneler Wire verified the safety and performance characteristics of this device for its intended use. The functions of the RF Tunneler Wire, as well as its performance characteristics as verified in bench testing are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
