The ACCORDION Urolgoical Occluding Guidewire is intended to be used endoscopically to entrap and remove calculi and other foreign objects from the urinary tract and to guide instrumentation within the ureteral tract.
The ACCORDION Urological Occluding Guidewire consists of a film The ACCORDION Orological Other a two-part guidewire with a removable handle.
The provided text is for a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "ACCORDION Urological Occluding Guidewire." This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than conducting new clinical trials for performance data.
Therefore, the document explicitly states:
"Performance Data Not required."
This means there is no acceptance criteria or study data provided in this document to prove the device meets acceptance criteria in the way you are asking (e.g., through clinical performance metrics, sample sizes, expert ground truth, or comparative effectiveness studies).
The primary purpose of this 510(k) submission is to assert that the ACCORDION Urological Occluding Guidewire is substantially equivalent to existing, legally marketed predicate devices. This equivalence is based on:
- Same intended use: "The ACCORDION Urological Occluding Guidewire is intended to be used The ACCORDION Orological Other a two-part guidewire with a removable handle." (This sentence appears to have a transcription error, but the "Intended Use" section on the first page clarifies: "The ACCORDION Urological Occluding Guidewire is intended to be used endoscopically to entrap instrumention within the ureteral tract" and the "Indications for Use Statement" on page 4 provides a more detailed description).
- Same indications for use: "The ACCORDION Urolgoical Occluding Guidewire is intended to be used endoscopically to entrap and remove calculi and other foreign objects from the urinary tract and to guide instrumentation within the ureteral tract."
- Similar technological characteristics: "The ACCORDION Urological Occluding Guidewire has the same intended The ACCORDION Orologiour Orologiour Oroclading Coperation and Very similar use, Indications for doe, ans as the predicate devices. Thus, the technological charactenstics as the prodicate about - Includes devices." (Again, some transcription issues in the text, but the intent is clear).
In the context of this 510(k) submission, the "acceptance criteria" for the device's market clearance largely revolve around demonstrating this substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than meeting specific performance thresholds from a de novo study.
§ 876.4680 Ureteral stone dislodger.
(a)
Identification. A ureteral stone dislodger is a device that consists of a bougie or a catheter with an expandable wire basket near the tip, a special flexible tip, or other special construction. It is inserted through a cystoscope and used to entrap and remove stones from the ureter. This generic type of device includes the metal basket and the flexible ureteral stone dislodger.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.
