The MINOP® Disposable Introducer is a single used to obtain ventricular access and facilitate endoscope insertion. The MINOP® Disposable Introducer consists of an introducer sheath and a ventricular obturator.

AI/ML Overview

The document provided is a 510(k) premarket notification for the MINOP® Disposable Introducer. This type of submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than comprehensive clinical studies with detailed acceptance criteria and standalone performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML device evaluations.

Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/ML device studies (such as MRMC studies, training set details, expert qualifications for ground truth, etc.) are not applicable to this submission.

Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state formal acceptance criteria in a quantitative table for multiple performance metrics. Instead, it refers to equivalence to a predicate device and internal standards for peel force.

Feature/Test	Acceptance Criteria (or Comparison)	Reported Device Performance
Peel Force	Meets requirements defined in Medcomp's internal standards for force at break (of the sheath).	"Results of the peel force testing meet the requirements defined in Medcomp's internal standards for force at break." (The document states the MINOP® Disposable Introducer's sheath design (with ink depth markings) and obturator tip rounding do not affect the peel force relative to the predicate.)
Material	Substantially equivalent to Medcomp Vascu-Sheath® Introducer Set.	The document states "sheath are identical to the legally marketed Medcomp device."
Design	Substantially equivalent to Medcomp Vascu-Sheath® Introducer Set.	Minor differences: obturator has a rounded tip, sheath has ink depth markings. These were deemed not to affect peel force.
Sterilization	Substantially equivalent to Medcomp Vascu-Sheath® Introducer Set.	Not explicitly detailed, but implied by the claim of substantial equivalence.
Indications for Use	Equivalent to Medtronic PS Medical Endoscope Introducer.	"The MINOP® Disposable Introducer is indicated to obtain and maintain a temporary pathway into the ventricular system of the brain."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

Sample Size: Not specified in the document. The performance data section vaguely refers to "Performance testing" and "Results of the peel force testing" without giving specific numbers of units tested.
Data Provenance: The testing was "in-vitro" and relates to the physical properties of the device components. There is no information regarding country of origin or whether it was retrospective or prospective, as it's not a clinical study involving patient data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

Not Applicable. This is an invivo mechanical/material performance test, not a study requiring expert readers to establish ground truth. The "ground truth" here is the physical measurement of peel force against defined internal standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not Applicable. There's no "adjudication" in the sense of reconciling divergent expert opinions, as this is a physical performance test.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No. An MRMC study was not done. The submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, supported by in-vitro mechanical testing.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study Was Done

Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the peel force analysis was "Medcomp's internal standards for force at break." This refers to a predefined, objective standard for mechanical performance.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not Applicable. This device did not involve machine learning; therefore, there was no training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not Applicable. As there was no training set, this question is not relevant.

D. Device Description:

E. Intended Use:

The MINOP® Disposable Introducer is indicated to obtain and maintain a temporary pathway into the ventricular system of the brain.

F. Comparison to Predicate Device:

The technological characteristics of the MINOP® Disposable Introducer are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The proposed device is equivalent to the Medcomp Vascu-Sheath® Introducer Set in terms of design, materials, performance and sterilization; while the only differences are the indications for use, the obturator of the proposed device has a rounded tip, and its sheath has ink depth markings. The proposed device is equivalent to the Medtronic PS Medical Endoscope Introducer in regard to the indications for use.

G. Performance Data:

Performance testing was performed on the peel force of the sheath for the Medcomp Vascu-Sheath® predicate device; the only sheath design change between this device and the proposed device is the addition of ink depth markings, which do not affect the peel force of the sheath. The rounding of the obturator tip on the proposed device also has no bearing on the peel force of the sheath. All other aspects of the obturator and

{1}------------------------------------------------

sheath are identical to the legally marketed Medcomp device. Results of the peel force testing meet the requirements defined in Medcomp's internal standards for force at break.

Clinical studies were not deemed necessary since in-vitro testing was sufficient to demonstrate safety and effectiveness by way of comparison to the legally marketed predicate device.
