Intended Use

The Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter is to be used in conjunction with steerable quidewires in order to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature, to facilitate placement of guidewires and other interventional devices, and for use during two guidewire procedures.

Device Description

The Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter is a 3F O.D. catheter that has two lumens-a short distal lumen and a second full length lumen-each of which are compatible with a 0.014" standard quide wire. The Twin-Pass catheter has a working length of 135cm and contains positioning markers at 95 and 105cm which provide a visual indication of the relative positions of Twin Pass and the end of a standard 105cm guide catheter. Two radiopaque marker bands at the end of each wire lumen provide for a radiographic means of locating the position of each lumen. The softer, distal end of the catheter is coated with a hydrophilic coating to assist passage through the guide catheter and vessels while the proximal end of the catheter contains a strain relief and a standard luer hub. A 126cm stiffening mandrel is included which provides support and pushability to the Twin-Pass.

AI/ML Overview

This document does not contain an acceptance criteria table or information about a study proving device performance in the context of device outputs (e.g., diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC) against a set of predetermined criteria. This is primarily because the submitted document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical catheter (Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter), not a diagnostic algorithm or AI-powered device.

For a medical device like the Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter, performance is generally established through design verification testing (non-clinical testing) and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not through studies that involve human readers, ground truth consensus, or metrics like sensitivity/specificity for disease detection.

Here's why the requested information is not applicable or cannot be extracted from the provided text:

  • Acceptance Criteria & Reported Device Performance (Table): Not present. The document summarizes non-clinical testing for design verification and states the device is suitable for its intended use based on these tests. It does not provide specific performance metrics in the way a diagnostic algorithm would (e.g., "Sensitivity > X%").
  • Sample Size for Test Set & Data Provenance: No clinical test set as such was used for performance evaluation that would require this. The non-clinical tests would have involved samples of the device itself.
  • Number of Experts & Qualifications for Ground Truth: Not applicable, as there was no clinical study involving human assessment of device outputs against a ground truth.
  • Adjudication method for Test Set: Not applicable.
  • Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study: Not applicable. This type of study is for evaluating diagnostic algorithms, not passive medical devices like catheters.
  • Standalone (algorithm only) Performance: Not applicable. This device is a catheter, not an algorithm.
  • Type of Ground Truth Used: Not applicable. The "ground truth" for a catheter is its ability to perform its mechanical function as intended during design verification.
  • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. There is no algorithm to train.
  • How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established: Not applicable.

What the document does state regarding device evaluation:

  • Non-Clinical Testing: "Testing conducted included assessments of the design verification of the Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter along with biocompatibility assessments. The results of this battery of tests confirmed the suitability of the Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter for its intended use." This indicates engineering and materials testing, not accuracy testing against a clinical "ground truth."
  • Clinical Testing: "No clinical evaluations of this product have been conducted." This explicitly states that clinical studies were not performed to evaluate this product's performance in humans.
  • Predicate Device: The device demonstrates "substantial equivalence" to existing legally marketed predicate devices (Lumend Percutaneous Catheter, Quick-Cross Catheter, and Dual Lumen Catheter). This is the primary means of clearance for this type of device.

In summary, the provided document describes a 510(k) clearance for a medical catheter based on non-clinical testing and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on a clinical performance study with human readers or AI algorithms.

Intended Use:

The Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter is to be used in conjunction with steerable quidewires in order to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature, to facilitate placement of guidewires and other interventional devices, and for use during two guidewire procedures.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:

Testing conducted included assessments of the design verification of the Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter along with biocompatibility assessments. The results of this battery of tests confirmed the suitability of the Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter for its intended use.

Summary of Clinical Testing:

No clinical evaluations of this product have been conducted.

Predicate Device:

The Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter is similar in intended use and function to the Lumend Percutaneous Catheter, the Quick-Cross Catheter, and the Dual Lumen Catheter.

Conclusions:

The Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter is substantially equivalent to the Lumend Percutaneous Catheter, the Quick-Cross Catheter, and the Dual Lumen Catheter. The testing performed confirms that the Twin-Pass Dual Access Catheter will perform as intended.
