Intended Use

The Guardian HV is intended to maintain hemostasis during the use of diagnostic/interventional devices. The device is indicated for maintaining a seal around diagnostic/interventional devices with outside diameters up to 8.0F (2.67 mm or 0.105") during diagnostic/interventional procedures. The guidewire introducer is included to facilitate the guidewire's passage through the Guardian HV.

Device Description

The Zerusa Guardian™ Hemostasis Valve is designed to be used as a conduit for which interventional devices with diameters up to 8.0F are inserted into the human vascular system. The device has two seals: the low-pressure seal and the high-pressure seal. Depressing the cap engages the Quikloc TM to open the low-pressure seal, depressing the cap again closes the seal. The high-pressure seal is operated by rotating the nut clockwise. Closure of the high-pressure seal secures the diagnostic/interventional device in position within the vasculature and also allows for pressure injections. The two independently operated seals allow for minimal blood loss during vascular procedures. When the low pressure seal is open, it allows the device to be flushed. During the procedure, the low pressure seal is opened in order to allow the advancement/withdrawal of diagnostic/interventional devices. Included with the Guardian™ Hemostasis Valve is a Guidewire Introducer, which is used to facilitate entry of the guidewire into the hemostasis valve. The Guidewire Introducer has an effective length of 125mm (4.9") and an inside diameter of 0.6mm (or 0.023").

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the Zerusa Limited Guardian Hemostasis Valve with Guidewire Introducer. It states that the device was subjected to a "full battery of performance testing" and that the "results of the performance testing demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the device."

However, the document does not provide specific details on:

  • Acceptance Criteria: What specific thresholds or metrics were defined for acceptable performance.
  • Reported Device Performance: The actual quantitative results from the performance tests.
  • Study Design Details: Information regarding sample sizes, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, or specific types of studies (MRMC or standalone).

Therefore, based only on the provided text, I cannot answer the questions comprehensively. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and receiving FDA clearance, rather than detailing the specifics of the performance study itself.

Here's what can be inferred and what is missing:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not specified in the document. It only broadly states that testing "demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of the device," implying that the device met internal Zerusa Limited criteria.
  • Reported Device Performance: Not specified in the document. No quantitative results from any performance testing are included.

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

  • Sample Size: Not specified.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

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

  • This type of detail (expert involvement for ground truth) is typically associated with studies involving subjective interpretation, like imaging. For a hemostasis valve, testing would likely involve objective, measurable parameters (e.g., leak rate, burst pressure, force to advance/withdraw devices). Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth" in this context might not apply or is not described. No information is provided about experts.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable/not specified, as the type of ground truth and existence of expert involvement is not mentioned.

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:

  • No. An MRMC study is not mentioned. This type of study is relevant for AI systems in image interpretation. The device described is a physical medical device (hemostasis valve), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, this question is not applicable.

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

  • Yes, indirectly. The "full battery of performance testing" would be considered standalone testing of the device itself (not an algorithm) without a human-in-the-loop, as it's a physical device. However, no details of these tests are provided.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • For physical device testing like a hemostasis valve, the "ground truth" would likely be defined by engineering specifications and validated test methods. For example, a leakage test would have a "ground truth" of zero leakage or a maximum allowable leakage rate. A force measurement for device insertion/withdrawal would have a "ground truth" of acceptable force ranges. The document does not explicitly state these, but this is the implied type of "ground truth" for such a device.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable/not specified. A "training set" typically refers to data used to train a machine learning algorithm. This is a physical device, not an AI system.

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

  • Not applicable/not specified. See point 8.

Guardian Hemostasis Valve with Guidewire Introducer Tradename: Classification Name: Cardiopulmonary Bypass Adaptor, Stopcock, Manifold or Fitting Classification: Class II Common Name: Hemostatic Valve Product Code: 74 DTL Regulation Number: 870.4290

3. PREDICATE DEVICE:

The predicate devices used to determine substantial equivalence for the Zerusa Limited Guardian Hemostasis Valve were the CoPilot Bleedback Control Valve marketed by Guidant (#K991102) and the EasyPass Y-connector Hemostatic Valve marketed by Millimed A/S (#K042060).

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: 4.

The Zerusa Guardian™ Hemostasis Valve is designed to be used as a conduit for which interventional devices with diameters up to 8.0F are inserted into the human vascular system.

The device has two seals: the low-pressure seal and the high-pressure seal. Depressing the cap engages the Quikloc TM to open the low-pressure seal, depressing the cap again closes the seal. The high-pressure seal is operated by rotating the nut clockwise.

Closure of the high-pressure seal secures the diagnostic/interventional device in position within the vasculature and also allows for pressure injections. The two independently operated seals allow for minimal blood loss during vascular procedures. When the low pressure seal is open, it allows the device to be flushed. During the procedure, the low pressure seal is opened in order to allow the advancement/withdrawal of diagnostic/interventional devices.

Included with the Guardian™ Hemostasis Valve is a Guidewire Introducer, which is used to facilitate entry of the guidewire into the hemostasis valve. The Guidewire Introducer has an effective length of 125mm (4.9") and an inside diameter of 0.6mm (or 0.023").

Dear Ms. Sweeney:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
