The ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter is indicated to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of the vascular anatomy appropriateness for the solution being administered and duration of the therapy. The ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter provides a shielding mechanism intended to reduce the incidence of accidental needle sticks. When the catheter hub and needle assembly components are withdrawn, the user activates the shielding mechanism and the needle retracts into the shielding tube.
The ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter consists of several parts common to most IV catheters: stainless steel needle. Teflon catheter tube with hub and the catheter body. In addition, the ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter has a safety locking mechanism which, when activated, enables the needle and the flash chamber to retract into a safety barrel. The activation element holds the needle assembly in the forward position until the user activates the device. Pulling the activator releases the latexfree elastic rubber band and allows the needle and flash chamber to retract quickly into the safety barrel. In this way user maintains control of the process by determining when to activate the safety mechanism. The product is available in seven gauges identified also by specific colors.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not typically for reporting detailed clinical study results with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics of the new device itself.
Therefore, the document does not contain the acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria in the way you've outlined for performance metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy. This submission focuses on comparing the new device against a legally marketed predicate device (Insyte™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheter) to establish that it is substantially equivalent in terms of intended use, principle of operation, and safety/effectiveness.
Here's what can be extracted from the document based on your request, with an emphasis on what is not present:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Not provided. The document does not define specific performance acceptance criteria for its safety features (e.g., minimum retraction rate, maximum force to activate) or general catheter performance (e.g., flow rate accuracy, material bio-compatibility under specific conditions). Instead, it relies on the established safety and effectiveness of the predicate device.
- The table presented in the device description section is for the physical specifications and flow rates of different gauges of the catheter, not performance data from a specific study against acceptance criteria.
| Size | Color | Catheter I.D. mm | Catheter O.D. mm | Catheter Length (mm) | Water Flow Rate (ml./min.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14G | Orange | 1.7 | 2.1 | 45 | 270 |
| 16G | Grey | 1.3 | 1.7 | 45 | 180 |
| 17G | White | 1.1 | 1.5 | 45 | 125 |
| 18G | Green | 0.9 | 1.3 | 45 | 80 |
| 20G | Pink | 0.8 | 1.1 | 32 | 54 |
| 22G | Blue | 0.6 | 0.9 | 25 | 33 |
| 24G | Yellow | 0.5 | 0.7 | 19 | 20 |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not applicable/Not reported. The document does not describe a performance study with a "test set" in the context of AI/diagnostic device validation. It's a medical device submission focused on substantial equivalence.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable/Not reported. This information is not relevant to a 510(k) submission for a non-diagnostic medical device like an IV catheter.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable/Not reported. See point 3.
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. This is not an AI/diagnostic device, and no MRMC study is mentioned or relevant to this 510(k) submission.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No. This is not an AI/algorithm-based device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not applicable/Not reported. The "ground truth" for this type of device typically refers to engineering performance specifications and material biocompatibility, which are not detailed in this summary. The submission's "truth" is its substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable/Not reported. This is not an AI/machine learning device; there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable/Not reported. See point 8.
Summary of Device Comparison for Substantial Equivalence:
The core of this 510(k) summary is the claim of substantial equivalence to the predicate device:
- Predicate Device: Insyte™ Autoguard™ Shielded IV Catheter from Becton-Dickinson Infusion Therapy Systems Inc (K984059).
- Intended Use: Same – "to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously." Also includes a shielding mechanism to reduce accidental needle sticks.
- Principle of Operation: Same, both are IV catheters with a safety locking mechanism that retracts the needle.
- Technological Difference: The main difference is the release element for the needle retraction:
- ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter: latex-free elastic rubber band
- Predicate Device: spring
- Conclusion: The document asserts that this technological difference "does not raise any additional concerns regarding safety and effectiveness" and therefore the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
In essence, the "study" mentioned implicitly is the comparison of the new device's design, materials, and intended use against the legally marketed predicate, concluding that the differences do not alter the safety or effectiveness profile significantly enough to warrant a more extensive premarket approval process.

Substantial Equivalence:
The ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter has the same intended use and the same principle of operation as the Insyte " Autoguard " Shielded IV Catheter form Becton-Dickinson Infusion Therapy Systems Inc in Sandy, Utah, cleared under 510(k) no. K984059. The main technological difference between ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter and the predicate devices is the release element of the needle retraction element, which at the ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter consists of a latex-free elastic rubber band and at the predicate device consists of a spring.
Conclusion:
The evaluation of the ComCaSet Safety IV Catheter does not raise any additional concerns regarding safety and effectiveness and may therefore be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Murphy:
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.
